Hello! Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"
All world one happy family.
I can do no better than quote Mahatma Gandhi, " We must be the change we want to see in the world."
If I want a world full of love and joy, I must first be full of love and joy.
To love myself, I must learn to respect my body, not to abuse it with wrong food, wrong amounts of food, food taken when not hungry, not adding harmful substances into my body, by doing adequate exercises, by breathing properly, by staying cool and calm under all circumstances, etc. etc.
Next time I feel the urge to have another piece of cake, because the taste in my mouth is so good, I need ask myself, "Do I love myself enough to resist that impulse which I know will only give me additional momentary pleasure, but harm my body in the long run?
If I love myself enough, I will be able to generate the self discipline to overcome that impulse to eat an extra slice of the cake.
The same approach can instil discipline in all my actions. Whether I get annoyed at the train's delay, or shout back at a person because they have offended me, depends on how much self-love I show to myself.
I have to be joyful myself, to see the happier slant of situations that come my way.
My added bonus for my self-disciplined life-style will be that I will be contributing to making the world a little better.
Wishing you joy and abundance, Shree-1
