A priceless gift 🎁 to yourself
Peace is one of the most cherished gifts you can give yourself.
When you are asked to live in peace with everyone, it is not just for the sake of quietness, good human relations or obtaining favours, it is mostly for the optimal function of your self.
In the absence of peace, every other thing falls apart. You can not function optimally in chaos.That's why we are enjoined to pursue peace by every means possible.
And when we have given it our all and other parties are unyielding, treat them like infidels, meaning, have nothing to do with them. Avoid them as much as you can else their toxic disposition to life ruins your own life.
Those who seem to function well in crisis, are internally disoriented, there is no harmony in their inner being hence they view life with a zig zag lens, and end up never seeing or appreciating the beauty of life.
Make a healthy choice to seek peace and that would be the most priceless gift, you will ever give yourself.
PEACE ✌️

HOW MUCH IS YOUR HAPPINESS?
Oftentimes, we use the expression, 'happiness is free' to reiterate the fact that happiness is accessible to everyone. Happiness is the reflection of your inward disposition to life. Therefore it may not be correct to assume that everyone who says I'm happy is truly happy.
If I say I'm happy and then go about grumbling, speaking ill of everyone and anyone, wishing bad things happen to those who seem to be getting on well in life, never being satisfied or content with what I have, am I truly happy?
For some, happiness is when they have everything that money can buy, when everything is working as planned, when they can afford the most expensive holiday trips, own exquisite mansions, drive top notch automobiles, get married, have children, have grand children....and the list has no end. Human wants are insatiable, so if happiness has a prize, can we really afford it?
What is my point? You alone can put the prize tag on your happiness. Own your happiness. Define your happiness. Define your 'fun'. There's no end to what the heart craves and desires. If owning a 2025 latest automobile is the prize for your happiness, I bet it would have gone higher by 2026. So, if material acquisition is the basis for your happiness then misery is knocking at your door.
It is noble to work hard, and earn an honest reward for it, but do not let your happiness be dependent on what you own or earn.
