Everyone comes into your life for a reason, some good, some bad, some perfect, some amazing, but then some just make your life a living hell and teach you how not to be yourself, just because they want to keep you confined to their deadline.

Perhaps, at times, many people lack the basic respect to approach issues of concern usually due to poor upbringing and or attitudinal reactionary behaviors.

However, try to remember those good manners together with good character are more crucial than outward beauty. So when the world treats you badly and everything is going negatively don’t turn around and give the same treatment to others.

Just treat people better the way you expect them to be. Peace can become a lens through which you see the world. Be it. Live it. Radiate it out. Peace is an inside job.

Avoid the trap of not treasuring what you truly have. Many of us make this type of mistake in life. You’ll end up losing what is precious. Remember that some things in life can’t be fixed once they’re broken.

Time doesn’t heal all wounds. You don’t want to lose what you value the most. So take appropriate precautions.

Yes, We Can!
