Today is the International Day of Peace,
and last year I ruffled a few feathers on this date.
I sent out an email with the subject line "Why The International Day of Peace Is A Scam", which made what I think is a valid point.
However, some "make love, not war" folks took offence and left my world (from the few replies i got, I didn't find them to be all that peaceful ...)
I won't repeat the whole email, but this passage sums up the gist of it:
=====
I say it's better to spend your time working for peace in your own life.
Instead of spending hundreds or thousands of hours crossing your fingers and chanting for world peace, put that effort into your personal development.
If you have a business, make it as successful as possible so you can sleep peacefully at night, have peace with your spouse (since you won't be fighting about money), and have peace of mind.
Work hard, help a lot of people, and make a bunch of money so you can donate more to the causes that you really care about.
This approach will do more good for the world than the International Day of Peace.

For coaches, I can think of few things more peaceful than having a stable base of clients and steady stream of hot new prospects coming in.
If you'd like to experience that, I've just released a new training to show how you can get them flying in while you sleep.
