Wellness Tip for Peace: The key is to share the power, and share the leadership in order for them to cooperate. Practice responsible democracy where people will own the idea to resolve conflict and to fulfill the duties that goes along with it.

Ask them what they want and show them how to get it. Listen first, to know their personalities. Let them speak and open up their minds. Your responsibility is to settle the conflict and not to assess or judge them as opponent. Take the person as pure innocent human ready to make peace. In the process of negotiating, be sincere and real to your thoughts. Relay the consequences if any, of what they demand from you. But, present the problem as an opportunity. Because it will only be a problem, if there is a solution. If you have an idea on how to solve the problem, let the pesron own your idea by asking him/her questions on what he/she wants until he/she finds your idea his/her idea. Once you convince him/her to own the idea as his/her, congaratulations, welcome to the first step of your peace negotiation. And the rest are skills to be harnessed.

Wellness Tip for Peace: All war is based on deception; while Peace is based on truthfulness. Be Real. When you are near, be near. Be present and start the dialogue.

Do not bait the enemy and lure him to come. Be real. Be sincere. Open yourself and be willing to reconcile truthfully. Because your intention is not to waged war, but to make peace, that is why you exist at the moment when the person already opened themselves to reconcile. Do not have hidden agenda, if you are really true to your commitment to reconcile. Otherwise, if you cannot be loyal to your commitment to reconcile, do not engage in a dialogue yet. Cool your head, balance your thoughts, and convince yourself why you need to do this. Peace making is not a sacrifice, but a smart alternative to survive and co-exist in the small planet. Peace making is the sharing of space legally and ethically. If there are issues that were not settled in the initial phase of negotiation, do not lose hope, because it is a process. When you choose peace, there is no short cut. It can really be very taxing and emotionally draining, when you are not into it yet. So take time to talk to yourself first, make peace to all your conflicts on why you need to reconcile before you proceed and talk to others aside from yourself. Remember, actions speaks louder than words, and you cannot fake your sincerity, for it will always reflect on the output of your peace negotiation.

Wellness Tip for Peace: What is the use of bravery, if one does not have knowledge; and what is the use of knowledge, if one is not brave? To work for peace requires both to proceed.

Wisdom are accumulated knowledge, actual experiences, and intelligence processed through the analytical mind. Wisdom doesn't come handy, it will take time. While bravery can be a survival instinct according to one's DNA. Bravery is an act of impulse. Peace work requires both, and not without the other, they are partners for peace making to work. Knowledge of the enemy and the risk to face the opponent are measurements of success if peace is possible in the situation, as of the moment. The peace worker will "lead" the "time" for the opponent to make peace. Timing is dependent both on the available knowledge at hand and extent of bravery. Bravery can be harnessed through learning of the opponent's mind. Applying both with sincere intention and commitment of the peace maker to heal and not to kill will eventually, in due time, transform the relationship of enemies to friends.

Wellness Tip for Peace: When heat increase, impurities falls off and we make the best of steel. Thus, flexibility under pressure makes our virtue more solid and firm

This also goes along with the process of ageing, and not unless we go back to our age of innocense, we will not enjoy the coming of old age. We had life, the best of it, or the worst of it, and still we come out alive! A proof that we are not disposable into one's eye, but is a steel that was purified by the heat of time. Pressures made us harder, braver, and wiser. That is why we are ready to face the coming of the eventual end of our maturity. When we already gained enough wisdom from what we had in life, that is also the opening of the door of going back to our innocense. Do not resist it, if you feel that you are reminiscing the past, yet you still have the zest to go forward and see the future. Like caught in the middle of timeline, it's either you want to get old, or you want to be young forever. Keep calm, stay focus, be attuned with yourself and avoid loud and obnoxious people, because they are vexations to your spirit. In this moment that you've reached the middle of your timeline, or maybe near the end of the line, cherish the moment, recall the good memories, and forgive the bad ones. You deserve to be here where you are right now because you are GREAT! You did your job very well in this small planet, and you did it according to your capacity and talents and blessings (good and bad) that you got. You've used your talent, skills and intelligence wisely. Whatever it is that you were not able to do yet, PRAY that God consider giving you another chance. Submit yourself to prayer and wait for the blessings to come. Because if the prayer is good for your soul, it will be granted, if not God will be the one to find the way not to make it happen. So enjoy every moment of your life now as you submit yourself to God like a child ready to be there where God wants you to be, with full trust and obedience. No regrets, no worries because you know that everything happens because you did your best and God took over the rest.

Wellness Tip for Peace: Don't say goodbye because it cuts everythig. It makes people numb & cold. Don't cut the communication line; don't go away. Stay and be a friend still.

But this time, respect the friendship. Guard it against malice. Protect the friendship because it is already fragile, broken, that was just fixed by two consenting adults, you and your friend. Friends are forever for as long as conflicts were settled. Most of the time, conflicts were brought by uncontrollable passions in accidental settings. Uncontrollable because the chemical reaction is so strong that weakness overpowers the strength of character. Accidental because, as friends, no one would ever think of doing something bad to his/her friend, but rather the circumstances lead them to the situation where their discipline to be tamed were tested. Friendship was broken because both succumb to temptation, which is beyond on what should friendship should be, that is pure, free from malice, and as it is called brothers and sisters. We do not talk about friends "with benefits" here because that is romantic relationship already where the lovers eventually became the best of "best friends" after being just "best friends" or "plain friends". Pure and simple friendship for life is possible, for as long as both agrees to respect its purity and innocense. Friendship will always be tested, but it is the honesty to one self that can determined its purity. If the intentions are not pure, then it is not friendship, but business. Business has a price to pay and deals to negotiate while friendship do not have that. It is in friendship where one can actually experience the practice of pure intimacy and "holistic" unconditional love. Save the friendship, if you can, do not say goodbye, because you care for the person, more than anything else, beyond physical and material gains, beyond fulfilling your fantasy, beyond what you need, you "simply just care" for the well-being of your friend, that is why you want to take care of him/her for life!
