May we see true fundamental and ENFORCED peace bestowed upon us all, especially on every single child being unjustifiably bombarded and traumatized.
Shame on our world leaders! Shame on us! May we all be forgiven for having played a part in all the suffering we’re seeing in the world today.
BUT we can change this… we can STOP this cycle of misery…
While some of us may feel helpless and powerless, we MUST continue to be RADICALLY KIND, RESPECTFUL and JUST with everyone and in everything we are involved in, whatever we do , however we speak and think, and wherever we are —in schools, at work, around our communities, EVERYWHERE with EVERYONE!
We MUST continue to PRAY, HEAL and FORGIVE ourselves and others.
THIS IS MY TAKE ON REACHING PEACE 🕊️
🧘 Be RADICALLY MINDFUL of your emotions and thoughts. OBSERVE them like you observe the waves of the ocean ebbing and flowing. In the observing, you feel more peaceful and calm.
👂 LISTEN first. ASK second. In between the listening and asking, THINK about what you say next. Is it TRUE? Is it KIND? Is it NECESSARY? If the answer is NO, then SHUTUP, keep the PEACE and maintain the HARMONY.
🥅 “CATCH IT. MAP IT. ZAP IT”, is what I always tell my sister. CATCH your impulses. MAP them down and see them clearly. ZAP (by clapping) the ones out that don’t serve you AND the greater good.
🤲🏼 One act of KINDNESS leads to another. ALWAYS be the one to GIVE FIRST, be CONFIDENT when you do it and be PROUD of yourself for doing it, even if it’s not reciprocated. TRUST that it will be eventually if not through this experience, surely through another.
☮️ Find PEACEFUL resolutions. THEY EXIST! There is always more than one way, more than one belief, more than one perspective, more than one methodology and kore than one scientific explanation. Only if critical, use them ALL, until you get somewhere. Be respectful and PATIENT in this undertaking, while HONORING the goal. Enhancing Human LIFE and DIGNITY is the critical goal and a human RIGHT!
🫱🏽🫲🏼 Think and SEEK WIN-WIN solutions. It WORKS! Be elastic, flexible and fluid. Be like water and the wind, dancing in between the spaces and the dark alleys of your daily transactions with others. You will find the links and the light. That’s how MEANINGFUL connections are created.
💞 GRATITUDE is always stronger. You can’t be grateful and violent at the same time. Be grateful for everything and everyone you have around you NOW NOW NOW, and stop meaningless arguments and conflicts. Remember how lucky and blessed you are to be where you are TODAY.
🧑⚖️ Be the fair REFEREE! Just like in sports. Be on a mission to STOP, WARN and DISQUALIFY violence the way they do it in sports.

🪦 We are all going to DIE! Wer not taking money, houses, certificates, or lands with us. Only the memories that MADE US A HOME, PURIFIED OUR SOUL and ELEVATED OUR HAPPINESS, remember that!
🌈 DARE to be DIFFERENT and UNIQUE in a POSITIVE way. STRIVE to make a difference everywhere you go and in everything you do, in small and big ways, as individuals, parents, teachers, coaches, professionals and leaders. BE the WOW factor. SHARE your MAGIC. EMIT your LIGHT. Darkness cannot exist with light at the same time.
… and finally STOP TELLING US GOOD IS WEAK. Being good is the ULTIMATE HUMAN STRENGTH. It’s soooo easy to be negative… it’s sooooo easy to complain….. it’s sooooo easy to be violent.
BEING GOOD is how we are going to save the planet, the climate, nature and our existence!
Be a . A force to be reckoned with!
