Dragonflies Don’t Do Chaos

My fellow Jedi, today we gather to talk about the challenges of being an instrument of peace in a world that seems to thrive on chaos and division. It’s not always easy being the one who must keep calm and carry on, but let’s face it, somebody’s got to do it, and who better than us?

First of all, let’s talk about the importance of staying positive.

It’s easy to get bogged down in all the negativity that surrounds us. Every time you turn on the news, it seems like there’s another crisis, another disaster, another reason to feel hopeless. But that’s exactly when we need to remember that we are the light in the darkness. We are the ones who bring hope to those who have lost it. So, let’s keep smiling, even when it feels like the world is falling apart around us.

Next up, let’s talk about the importance of mindfulness.

In order to be a true instrument of peace, we need to be present in the moment. That means putting down our phones, turning off distractions, and focusing on what’s really important. It’s not always easy to do, especially in a world constantly pulling us in a million different directions. But remember, the Force is always with us, and if we take a moment to listen, we’ll hear its gentle guidance.

Now, let’s talk about humor.

Yes, that’s right, I said humor. Being an instrument of peace doesn’t mean we have to be serious all the time. In fact, sometimes the best way to diffuse a tense situation is to crack a joke. Laughter is a powerful tool, one that can break down barriers and bring people together. So, go ahead and tell that silly joke, or make that goofy face. You might be surprised at how effective it can be.

Finally, let’s talk about the importance of community.

None of us can do this alone. We need each other, now more than ever. That’s why it’s so important to stay connected, to reach out to our fellow Jedi and offer our support. Whether it’s through a kind word, a helping hand, or simply a listening ear, we can all make a difference. Together, we are strong, and together, we can be the change we want to see in the world.

So, my fellow Jedi, let’s go out there and be the instruments of peace we were meant to be. Let’s stay positive, mindful, funny, and connected. And let’s never forget that the Force is always with us, guiding us on our journey, may you feel the presence!
