How Do You Promote Peace And Harmony?
ByHow do you feel about mass murders – where one human being in pain kills and injures numerous others? Newspaper, television, and radio report these kinds of things as the nation’s worst slaughters. It all happens in a very short period of time. The person doing the killing may have been depressed, lost a job, reported as always being quiet, or always being angry.
Can you see the damaging effects of unintact Self-Esteem? Self-Esteem is the self respect you feel for yourself. Anyone who commits this kind of crime had intact Self-Esteem when he was born. Yet, some people during his life taught him not to love himself. Gradually, he became angry. He repeated that behavior until the pain was so intense he felt he could only find peace in killing. This is a perfect example of a person who was devalued during his lifetime.
What can we learn from these events? I believe we need to appreciate the importance of affirming children starting at a very early age and continue the process for a lifetime. Do you compliment children when you meet them? Do you find it easy to help
people feel comfortable when you meet them? Do you make it a habit to avoid criticizing people? It requires diligent effort to change a habit.
Every day we add a new layer to our life. If the significant people in our lives helped us to feel important, then it is easy to help others feel important. Millions of people wake up every day lonely and depressed. Picture what would happen if they met someone like you who had intact Self-Esteem. They could receive compliments from you every day.
You can never take a vacation from your Self-Esteem, because you are the only one who is with you 24 hours a day. You have choices. First, decide to develop your Self-Esteem by being kind and gentle with yourself. Be aware of your self-talk. Notice how you treat yourself. Do you reward yourself daily? How well do you pamper you? You have the potential to influence the Self-Esteem of others to the degree you have intact Self-Esteem. You can only give what you have, nothing more. How would you feel if someone would say to you, “I like me best when I am with you”?
Compliment someone daily and then, watch what happens!
