Wellness Tip for Peace: "We are here to love, to heal, to comfort, to feed the hungry and to give hope to the despairing

...We belong to the world because we are born to the world." We are humanist, we understand the needs of our fellows. We know human weaknesses, and we accept that we also have our own. We know what it means to have nothing. When we share what we have, we do not do it out of sacrife, but because our heart tells us to do it. We respect the dignity of the poor by helping them start a dignified life. We educate the poor for them to be capable to have a decent job, raise their own family in a comfortable home, and make a living legally. We do not make the poor dependent to us; we teach them how to be independent. We do not make policies that will oppressed the poor. We do not discriminate, neither do we pity them for having less than what we have. We accept the fact that poor people exist because circumstances lead them to that state of life. Thus, we find ways to help their miseries. We seek their talents, we harness their skills, we educate. We give them legal jobs and we pay their services professionally.

Wellness Tip for Peace: Stay away from peole that will make you angry, Keep distance to those who kill your character. Protect your personhood.

Peace is kindness but not stupidity. Uncontrollable anger is bottled up frustration to the person whom one expect to provide what he/she wants. Another reason is chemical reaction and/or personality clash. Let time heal the wounds and let nature take its natural course. What is important is you do not lose your personhood, your dignity as a human being. Take time to study the person from afar, and learn from your mistakes on what went wrong to the relationship. The differences maybe cultural, not personal. There was miscommunication, because everything happened in a rush. Maybe both of you are not ready to meet yet, because you are not on the same page. Maybe both of you are pressured on what the sociey expect things should be. You can analyze the whole situation from start until now, and you will know on what is the real conflict that made the two of you fight. The soultion, is to make a phone call to the person and tell him/her what you need, and not on what you want. Make him/her understand your needs without demands. Appreciate the person for being there for you. Boost his/her morale and confidence sincerely by telling him/her on what made you happy when you are with him/her. Ask yourself, can you live without this person? Your answer maybe, yes. But ask yourself again, do you choose to live without this person for the rest of your life? If your answer is NO, then, do something with your anger. Do not kill him/her in your heart

Wellness Tip for Peace: Respect Authority. Lead your leaders by presenting your alternatives with politeness and grace until they embrace your solution

Leaders have their own vision, and their authority will make their constituents follow them. If your critical mind do not agree, present an alternative and do not rebel. Avoid assasinating the character of people in authority to stop the rebellion process. Know the personality of your leader and know your personality very well. Find the point of commonality where you can work together. Your differences are normal, and your conflict is healthy because it defines each individuality. What matters is you can lead the settling of conflict without losing each other in the process. Be polite. Learn the skills of effective communication and exhaust all legal means to negotiate. Your winning is not limited to the end point of getting what you want, but the whole process itself. Your mission is to educate your leader on the alternatives, the other side of the issue, the other way to solve a problem. As you handle the whole process, be the solution provider and not the problem-maker. And at the end of each day, rest well and detach yourself from the issue, because you need to replenish yourself by geting much sleep you need for your mind to function as you enter the next day of negotiation. And do not forget to nourish your body to get you through the pressure you got yourself into.Lead the whole process, eventually, you will enjoy your politeness and everything is a piece of work leading to peace at work!

Wellness Tip for Peace: Your home is where your heart is because there you've found your family who respect your personality and love you unconditionally beyond material gains.

Your happiness is the mirror of your place where you are right now, if it is a home or just a simple dwelling address. Home is the place of unconditional love and respect for one's identity. While a dwelling is just a place where you sleep, eat, etc with the rest of other humans. Either you are connected biologically or by circumstance, doesn't matter and doesn't define your family. Family is not limited to biological connections. You can create your own family, where all members value the individuality of each and everyone and will be there for mutual support in times of sickness, trouble, and misfortunes. The concept of family as the basic unit of society is founded on man's survival way back in the stone age where humans live for survival and to defend themselves as a group in times of danger. Whoever jives to the group is part of the family inside the camp where humans live. Eventually their relationships were classified through the introduction of religion. Religion has expanded and also limited the concept of family with the promotion of their corresponding dogma and sacraments. Read more of the history to know more. But, if we look deeper into our being, the limited concept of the family can also limit our sight and horizon. To help expand our horizon is to not limit the concept to biological connections but to the inter-relationships inside your residence. Ony you knows if it is a home or just a house. Check where your heart is and you will know where your home is.

Wellness Tip for Peace: Do not follow the apathetic; lead them instead because you pursue life and you care for their souls

People who love to talk negative issues without providing solutions are digging their own grave. Their peace within is shattered and so nothing is left to share the peace with others. Lead them instead to be inspired on the beauty of life. Provide the balance by not following the negative path. Be the sunshine in every dark corner. Provide the solution. Let them see the problem as an opportunity. Show them their potential, and let them realize how capable they are to live their life to the fullest. They are the negative, you are the positive, thus balance is maintained to keep the movement in our little planet. When you are drained with their negativity, take time to go out, feel the air, recharge and rejuvenate. And at the end of the day, before you sleep, forgive them for any offense they made to you, and you for getting angry with them. Do not worry, time has brought you together with these people, you have a mission to fulfill. Just go and use your best skills and lead them to light. You are there for a noble reason, relax and enjoy it!

Wellness Tip for Peace: Maintain your taste for style, do not compromise, but live only according to what you can afford

Temptations are everywhere. Beautiful clothes, jewelries, shoes, bags, fancy restaurants, expensive get-away, all to satisfy the feast of human senses. You love life and you want to get the best out of it! You've got taste, discriminating taste according to hgh-end standards, and so it's hard for you to just accept on what is available.You don't have to, actually, you just need to widen your horizon and seek where you will not compromise yourself, but you will only live according to what you can afford. If it means moving to a new place, changing job that suits your talent and skills, living away from the city, etc. There are a lot of choices beyond the walls of what you see infront of you right now. The important thing is you are not stuck to do something because you put yourself into a situation that your responsibility is beyond your healthy capacity, physically, emotionally, mentally. The most valuable property you have is yourself, because that is your mover, your workforce. You should be healthy and well in mind, body and spirit. Contemplate, take time for yourself, only you knows the best for your future because you know your strengths and your weaknesses. So, choose your passion wisely. Be smart on where to put your heart, for your passion lives where your heart is.

Wellness Tip for Peace: The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. When face with a difficulty, focus on the target on where you want to go and what do you want to achieve. Do not run around the bushes. Find the direct solution and hit your target

Instinct will tell you how to go about it. All you need is to focus your energy and trust your instinct. Other people will guide you, tell you what they want, or worst command you to what they think is right. But only you knows what you need and how you can get it based on your capacity. In everything you do, be firm to what you believe in. And as you travel down the road of life, be safe emotionally, mentally and physically. For you know that the best protector of your destiny is your self. If you know how to take care of yourself, then you can be responsible enough to take care of other people. Lead yourself peacefully and you can practice the art of peace leadership to other people.
