Starting with just one person committing to live in peace with himself, those around him and the complete population of the world, and then influencing one person per year who would do the same, we could have world peace by 2051. If we had started this 32 years ago, we would have world peace now. I started the Sowing Peace initiative in 2012 to attempt to do this, but I am not sure I have influenced even one person. If I had accomplished my objective we would be at year Seven, or 128 people now. It would be interesting to find out how many people in the world could commit to living in peace right now, then we can see where that number fits in the chart below. We would then have an estimate of how many more years it will take to have world peace if each one of us diligently manages to influence just one more person each year. It seems this is very difficult to do, but the results would be amazing, so why not give it a try.

One heart at a time.

2019 Year one: If I would commit myself to peace, and influence one other person to do so in a year, then we would be two.

2020 Year two: If two go on to influence two more, we would be four.

2021 Year three: If four go on to influence four more, we would be eight.
