Wellness Tip for Peace: Be Yourself. Let your personality surface. Be Prepared, know their issues and anticipate challenges

In peace leadership, you must have first and foremost the full understanding and control of yourself. If you lose yourself, you lose your peace. If you do not own yourself, how can you share yourself to others? How can you be selfless if you do not have your own self? Reflect, who are you? What do you need? What do you want? What do you think are your strengths? What do you think are your weaknesses? What is your obssession? What makes you tick? What will push you to the edge? What is your passion? What makes you complete? What will make you lose your sanity? These are some questions and you can further elaborate by asking yourself of the worst things that you can think of that will check your mind on how you cope up and can cope up with the pressures of peace-making.

Knowing yourself is a never ending process. It goes on and on until your alive. In the process of knowing ourselves, we got into the web of multi-cultural, multi-faith, multi-social, and multi-behavioral patterns. It can get crazy, but don't get frustrated because the whole experience is in simple terms, education. Remember, our negative reaction to something new is not personal but cultural. We don't know that point and we just learn it practically from another fellow where we just had and is currently having conflicting relationships. So, instead of getting too emotional on issues being raised, be professional, study, research and analyze every detail until you get the answer to your questions. Enjoy the learning process as you develop your self and find ways to make "any" relationship work! Nothing to lose but everything works to your advantage because you are given free education of life and you have all the options to choose what kind of life you can make. No one can dictate you, only you knows how you can solve your conflict, because nobody knows yourself better but you.

Why will you walk away? Why will you always run away from people or for that someone that you have passionate connections? Be brave. Know their issues. Study, learn and analyze. It is a privelege that destiny gave you another chance together in this lifetime to settle whatever it is that you need to settle. So take the lead, initiate the talk. Listen, and you will not just win a friend for life but you will develop your self in the whole process of facing your weakness. Take note, everybody is a friend, it just so happen that they were assigned in this lifetime either to be our parent, brother, sister, spouse, children, relatives, etc. But those are just name tags with corresponding society's assignments. In the end, what truly made you stay together is because you are FRIENDS..... the love you shared, the respect you have for each other, the moments you treasure are not society's requirements but the passion you both have in your heart.

And if this is the case, who says nothing last forever...

Wellness Tip for Peace: It's natural for humans to be insecured if there is no physical contact. But beyond physical, there is spiritual communication, and we call it Prayer

There's a typical notion that relationship happen between concerned parties only. We forget that in between any relationship, there is always a third party that sees all our transactions in our relationship. Someone that we cannot see in plain sight, and He is no other than but God. If we always consider that in any words we think, thought of, say and act upon to our fellow, God is watching and hears us then we can always be mindful of everything. Actually, no one is really alone, and in any relationship, it's always a family, consisting of you, the person that you are in a relationship with and God. So, if in case there's a communication gap, God is there to bridge the gap as He listen to your unceasing prayer. Wait, trust, and pray because you will be guided how to find the way to make the relationship work. Tell your thoughts to God, say what you really mean sincerely with all honesty. Just make a dialogue. Let go of the fear as you establish the connection until you gain the confidence to trust with all your heart whatever is God's will. In the process of doing so, your worries will vanish like shadows in the coming of light and you will gain peace.
