Wellness Tip for Peace: If there are particular types of people that irritate you, do not compromise your temper just to please them. If they need you, lead them and let them follow you but do not let them lead you because you will have the hard time following them
Remember in the most unbearable situations, there are only three things to do, either, you adapt, you migrate or you die. Adaptation is acceptance of the whole situation and acceptance of your capacity including your strength and weaknesses as your means to handle it. We can only adapt to the situation peacefully if we are convince deep down in our heart that we can live with our decision to adapt. But, if we are doing adapting due to the demands of others without our own personal decision and conviction, then we become unhappy, thus we are not peaceful. When we are at peace with our decision, we are at our best even in the most unbearable situation. So, before adapting to the situation, discern thoroughly if you can be productive with it. If not, you can always migrate to a new location where you can be the best of yourself without the need to compromise your virtues and principles. If, however, this is not possible also due to your limitation, we can take the last option. It is death, not meant to kill or to end life, but death to your own personal, material and emotional attachments without the need to bother other people. Detachment thoroughly and trust that nature will take care of you because you did something good. You did not kill life but you just detach to all that made your life miserable. Then, you start fresh and new. Do not worry, because you take care of life, good karma will come back. People and new friends will also take care of you until you become ready to compete with life once more.

Wellness Tip for Peace: Be particular, be very "particular" because that is the sign of professionalism. Recall your unprofessionalism in your life and use it to understand the people around you. But now that you are a professional, you have the standards already on the kind of people you can work with. Maintain your standards and do not give in to emotional blackmail.
If there are people who did not pass your standards but is begging you or harrassing you, don't get angry and do not fall into their emotional strategies. Keep your standards and refer them to to those you think are qualified enough to handle them.
As you maintain your standards, you get a certain amount of power and control to yourself. Now with power comes certain amount of responsibilities. One of your responsibility is to widen your contacts and improve your networks. So look for more people who will fit-in to your network, so by the time that people ask for your help, you can always refer them them to people you know who can help them
Wellness Tip for Peace: Work is not just keeping a job but keeping all your relationship harmoniously working. We do this by striking the balance everytime. It requires discipline on time management, detachment from negative thoughts, personal conviction to keep and not to end the relationship, avoiding gossips, respect for the other person's privacy and trusting the silence in between
The smallest output of the whole process of making the relationship work will raise the hope that in everything we do to all the relationship we have will always give us the best of everything in life! Remember our hope is where our heart is, so when we put our heart into our "works", we will never run out of hope!

Classify people not by economic status or cultural level of Class A, B, C or D, but rather classify people by the development of their humanity. Those who work for peace are humans, and those who work for violence are subhumans. Peace work is mastering the discipline of taming the passion for the mind to rule over adverse reaction. Peace work is allowing virtues to dominate the heart instead of allowing crooked reasoning to take over the soul
Subhumans are dominated by emotions and react instinctively according to the spur of the moment. To deal with subhumans is to define the rules and to implement these rules requires for the peace leader to detach from his/her own emotions over them. Subhumans only knows two things, love and hate. You love them and they will love you back. You hate them and they will hate you back. Only the subhumans will spend their enrgy, time, resources and talents to work for violence. It is the responsibility of the peace leader to take care of these subhumans and develop their potentialto full humanity. It will take a lot of time to do so, training them is not that easy. But, do not fret, just proceed and be consistent with your virtue always. As you train these subhumans to peace work, they will start to open the dimensionality of their mind and once you open it, it will become a never-ending discussion on human development. You introduce them to citical thinking until they themselves realized the significance of peace work. Let them do their own analysis on why peace is the highest form of humanity making them different and above the beast. Once you did this, you achieved the transformation of one subhuman to the real "human"

Respect to Human Dignity is the foundation of the bridge that holds our Peace. We treat other people the way we treat ourself. If we are very particular with manners and good conduct, we extend that treatment to people that we meet and interact with everyday. If we are not so particular with proper decorum, we also treat people casually as such. But the problem is other people do not feel the same way we feel, they have their own set of standards in dealing with people, in the same way we also have our own. To hold the Peace within our self and with them is to be extremely cautious with Respect to Human Dignity.
Do not assume that you will be understood. Do not conclude that what you have in mind is what they have in mind. Politely, ask and be sensitive to the way the other person wants to be treated, and respect that. Do not judge that your standard is better. Do not make conclusions on people's attitudes. Just respect and let them know that you really do not just with words but with your actions. Let this respect serves as the foundation to stengthen the bridge of friendship, then leave everything to nature to flow naturally.

Wellness Tip for Peace: Stop the hurting to one's self because we restrict to love the one we choose to love. Forgetting the person or abandoning the most important person in our life is the most painful thing to do. So, let go and free the self from the bondage of pride, just love and let nature take its course. Loving is respecting the dignity of the person, protecting them from harm, providing their needs, supporting what is most important to them and being there anytime to make them the best person that they can be!
It is selfless, actually and sometimes it will really take time for us to really love the one we choose to love. Loving is easy when we are ready to get into it already because we were able to heal ourself from the pain in the past, we are already matured to know who we want to love and why we choose this person. When we know ourselves more, the easier for us to give our heart. When we still have the fear of the unknown of what lies ahead after loving, and when we are still holding on to our pride that we are hurt because our standards our not met, we are still young teens with fragile heart. But, experiences made us strong and made us learn more about life. It takes a certain stage of maturity to give our heart in full and just let that person we choose to take it away. There are tears of joy and there are tears of pain in loving. When we are in the stage that we shrug-off the pain because the joy of loving is better, then we are ready. When we choose to keep the person in spite of everything, then we are ready.

Wellness Tip for Peace: If they are for you, they are not against you. Loyalty is the measurement of the depth of your friendship, not sweet talks or nice gifts
Don't be blinded with sparkles because not everything that glitters is gold. To test the loyalty of your friendship is to see if your friend can betray you in the middle of conflict. When under pressure, will they crack and let you go. Those who are for you will stay up to the end, and those who are not will leave you. Work with those who are not against you to maintain your focus. Do not dilute your energy by pleasing everybody. Maintain your composure and work only with the best! The best are tested by time and in the process of looking who they are, loyalty matters more than anything else.
Wellness Tip for Peace: Innate Beauty is Loving Kindness - it shows in the eyes, it reflects in the smile, it radiates in the face and manifested in the body. Anger ruins the innate beauty. How does innate beauty lasts? Can we be free from anger forever? Can we always exude the loving kindness forever?
Anger are by-products of accumulated frustrations because of our quest for perfection in everything we do. Since we see ourselves perfect, we expect people around us to be perfect, and when they failed to our expectations, we lose our temper and eventually our poise. Anger made us ugly. So how do we manage? Work from the heart, not on the mind. Do not over-analyze but take time to step back and meditate in your own private and comfortable space away from the person causing you to be angry. Use the moment of meditation to clean your heart from all the negative emotions by accepting the person's personality as is! Do not make any effort to change the person, but accept the person's existence in your life as the spice that triggers you beyond the extraordinary! Make a decision if you really need to be with this person causing you to be angry, if you do, lose the pride and accept that you do! Do not deny but embrace and work on the differences one step at a time. Be real and be honest on what you want and say it slowly according to the way the person can understand. Do not assume that the person can read your mind. Say what you really mean, then mean what you say.

Wellness Tip for Peace: You must really like it to get it! When you really want to pursue your dreams, you will find time to know everything to satisfy your mind of the knowledge you need to produce the will to act and make your dreams a reality. You will not wait for others to move you but you create your own passion to achieve it because you really like it!
Be confident with your dreams and work on it! Do not compare yourself with others because you will either become vain or bitter. You have a mind set of your own and you do not allow anyone to dictate you on what you want. You know what you want and what you need. You can only have the full conviction to do it if you really like it. When you really like it, your passion overflows and your desire to get it is so strong that you will always find a way when there is already no way. You can break the odds, you can defeat your opponents and you will succeed. You do not compete with anyone but you only compete with yourself to overcome your weakness and come out the best that you can be!
Wellness Tip for Peace: Be Cautious at Work & Be Inspired. Work gives happiness everytime it produce good results and that happens whenever we maintain our concentration. Work is practical meditation for as long as we keep our focus.
To be cautious is to let all our senses function simultaneously in clear vision and motion. When we maintain our focus at work, we can get hold of unnecessary emotions. Our passion is geared towards our work and not to something else ( or someone else). Since work is dependent on our own efforts, we can more or less measure the output at the end of the day based on the amount of efforts we shared. It gives enjoyment everytime deadlines are met on time and we make our co-workers and the rest of the team happy. Work has no emotions, humans have the emotions and stress mismanagement happens when both are intertwined to one another. The solution is to segregate one from the other. Take work as a cold matter and humans as hot matter and deal with it seperately. Work is measurable, humans are not. Deal with "Work" according to quality deadlines while deal with "Human" emotions on the professional level according to their significance in your life. Be brave and kind to face the pressure of both without avoiding one from the other.
Wellness Tip for Peace: Be aware, Beware. Enjoy your journey with love in your heart and no amount of hate will trample you!
Be ready. Be aware! If you say it fast, it sounds like "Beware!" Be cautious. Be informed. Do not assume, ask. Be alert and know your destination. People expect a lot from you and they demand that you excel with your work. They do not know the hardships that you've gone through before you've met them. So, do not expect that they will understand you right away. Maybe in time, but do not waste the time waiting that people will adjust to you. You know what you want and you know the path that you choose to lead your life. Armed with your knowledge, wisdom and experience, be confident and go through it. Never than ever doubt yourself by not being too dependent on what other people will say about you. Respect your mind and trust your heart! Exist with life and be active living it. Enjoy your journey with love in your heart and no amount of hate will kill your character.
Wellness Tip for Peace: Support Your Partner
Some people need other people to keep them intact. They are normal. They are intelligent and they even have marvelous leadership, but they cannot function very well without a supportive partner. If you know anyone who have this kind of need, just be there and make them feel that you believe in them. You do not need to pamper them or take care of them full-time, just be there. Your sincere and kind hearted presence is more than enough to boost their morale and uplift their spirit.

Wellness Tip for Peace: To avoid confusion, be real. If we come to meet the person causing us confusion, we leave our imagination behind. We face the reality of knowing the truth. We learn to see everything in clarity...
Because there will be no confusion if we face reality directly from the source of our anxiety. Meeting the person personally and directly will make us confirm the truth in our imagination. When imaginations are broken down into reality, we leave the superficial world and we come down to our senses in the real world. As meeting progress and cards are laid one by one, we come to know the truth. The sooner we do this, the easier for us to clear our mind. And as Sir Yehudi Menuhin wrote "It cannot be done just by imagining what would it be like to do it. There is only one way to do it, and that is to do it"

There’s nothing wrong in choosing to remain single or be in a relationship. Both have their merits in their own right. At the end of the day, whether heartbroken or emotionally strong, every person learns to flow with the ebb of time and find happiness in life. But the very completeness of life is a definition that is subjective to personal experiences.
"While every single guy will gladly embrace singlehood with open arms, as opposed to the emotional roller-coaster of a relationship, what no one will tell you is that no matter how blissful life is, there will always be something amiss without love in the picture. The benefits of being single are plentiful, but they cannot oust the feeling of being needed or loved. While most people are upfront about their feelings and can quit a relationship with dignity still left, they’d agree that living on their own can never mirror the deep satisfaction of being loved. Singlehood is freedom no doubt, but enjoying this freedom alone can become tedious in the long run. After all, every bird takes flight only to come back home to its caged confines.
