“Be the change you desire to see in the world” Ghandi.

Take the vow Now!!

Take the vow Now!!

Please join me in taking a vow against violence…
I want to ask you to take a vow, a vow of non-violence in your thoughts, in
your speech and in your actions. At this time of blessings and thanks, take
a vow that you will be kind to yourself and others, that you will be gentle
to yourself and others, that you will treat yourself and others with the
loving compassion of a mother holding a sick child, that you will nurture
yourself and others, that you will honour and respect yourself, that you
will protect yourself, and that non-violence and peace will start right here
today inside of your own heart. Vow to hold the love that exists in you,
that precious resource, like it’s the most important thing in the world.

And as you treat yourself with that kind of generous, non-judgmental, and

compassionate love, watch and rejoice as it alters those around you.

This vow of peace begins inside of you.
So, if you are ready to take a vow of non-violence one day at a time, a vow
of love and peace instead of anger, impatience and intolerance, just say it

out loud now. “I take the vow.”

Join me, Deepak, and millions of others
today. Say it like you mean it and imagine what is possible for you, for
your families, and for our entire world.
And now take a deep breath, because here’s where the fun begins! Now that
you’ve taken the vow, when you hear a little negative voice inside of you,
you can just say, “I’m so sorry. I can’t listen because I took the vow.” Or
“I’m sorry I can’t participate in that neglect, that abuse, or that judgment
because I took the vow.” Or “I can’t be hard on myself or spew words of
anger at others because I took the vow.” Or “I can’t think all those
negative thoughts about this family I’m having dinner with because I took
the vow.” Use the vow as your excuse to live, breathe and become the
embodiment of pure love. If there’s one thing that we can all see the world
needs right now, it’s love — sweet love. Visit the I Take The Vow website,
watch Deepak’s inspiring call to personal and global transformation, and, as
an act of love, pass the vow on.
