To make our lives better means to change. Change our destructive behaviors. Change our old beliefs. Change our mindset. Change all the things that are preventing us from living the life we want for ourselves or our families. But why should we do this? Shouldn’t we spend more time helping people and making the world…

Doesn’t have to be the perfect neighbor. Or the loving one. Or the most generous. All you have to do is respect them — respect them for who they are and their privacy. If they badly need help, and you think you can provide something, go do it. Or you can also volunteer if you…

If you believe that the world would be a better place if more people practice compassion and empathy, that’s admirable. This implies that you’re willing to unite with like-minded individuals. And hopefully, take action together. Because who knows? But just because you share a common belief with a group of people doesn’t mean you will…

The truth is, we can’t change people. If they spread negativity and bring you or others down, there’s nothing you can do. Sure, you can say something positive. You can inspire them to change. You can help solve their problems. And you can try to understand why they’re being toxic (empathy always works). But you…

It’s about changing yourself first. Sure, We at Humans Unite encourage everyone to do good things and make the world a better place. Spread message of peace, love, and unity. But we also want to emphasize that every change starts with ourselves. As the saying goes, “Be the change you wish to see in the…

We have to get over the idea that everyone will do good, or everyone will change for the better. Yes that’s possible. But that’s not what reality is. Some people are in pain and they do a lot of bad stuff (unconsciously). It’s hard to know why. The best thing we can do is empathize….

You can spend all day correcting people, criticizing them, berating them that their beliefs are wrong, and persuading them to see your point of view. You may be right. It may do good. They might be saved. Who knows. But more often than not, it doesn’t make things better for the whole planet. If anything,…

It doesn’t matter where you are or what you do or how rich you are. You can always help people. Especially those affected by natural disasters such as wildfires, typhoons, earthquakes, etc. It’s not necessarily “many people”. Even one person will do. What matters is you help them solve their problems or make their lives…

You can’t force people to be kind. You can’t force them to do good things. You can’t force them to donate extra money or start something beneficial for society. And that’s okay. Because if they don’t, then go start doing it. Start small. Help one person. Then a few people. Positivity, courage, and kindness are…

Your education, achievements, and wealth are pointless if you can’t treat a fellow human being with respect and dignity. Whatever their economic status or race, respect them for who they are. Understand where they’re coming from. Empathize. Instead of criticizing, help. Try to solve some problems. A little kindness goes a long way. And if…

A harmonious life is when we live peacefully with our fellow human beings. There are many ways to do it. But for now, let’s focus on these 3 practices: 1. Forgiveness When we forgive those who have wronged us, we let go of the grudge inside us. That’s a liberating feeling. There’s no point resenting…

Everyone competes to be the best and be on top. No wonder there are many less fortunate humans who are left behind. Can we still make the world a better place with this kind of mindset? Nothing’s evil with competitions. But we should not forget to help our fellow human beings, especially those in poverty….

Your brothers and sisters were part of your wonderful childhood memories. They were there listening to your dramas. Although sometimes you fight like cats and dogs, their love is unmatchable. They protect you as much as they can. They care for you and love you no matter what. But just like the other realities of…

You may have all the world’s money, the biggest house, the nicest car, the most expensive properties, and so on… but at the end of the day, those things don’t really matter. Life isn’t about the material possessions or any achievements you have. It’s about people. The people you care for. The people you enjoy…

Thanks to the healthcare workers who keep showing up to do their jobs despite the risk — so much risk. But they’re doing it because they care. Thanks to the government workers who are doing their best to deal with society’s concerns and figure out what’s best for their people. And thanks to the brave…

Every time we are angry with someone, that’s the best time to ask ourselves, “What is with him or her that makes me angry?” Because often, what triggers our anger is the one thing we hate about ourselves. If we are angry with those who are dishonest, then it’s probably we hate how dishonest we…

That’s the golden rule. It’s very simple, yet most of us failed to do. And even if we’ve read and heard this cliché a hundred of times, it’s likely that we forget it at some point. It is, however, a choice to always remind ourselves about the importance of not hurting people. Write it down…

Why do some people desire to become millionaires? Why do some people hate the government? And why do some people enjoy a bizarre type of art? People see or understand things differently. Our upbringing, culture, family — and a lot of factors — influence the way we view life in general. The challenge isn’t about…

It’s our responsibility to maintain peace wherever we are. And one way to do it is to be mindful with our words and deeds. Because most of the time, we are careless we end up ruining someone’s life. This is not to say that we should be loving or caring to everyone. We can’t force…

I was walking in the park when I saw a well-dressed guy threw an empty bottle on the pathway. He continued walking as if nothing happened. I was stunned. Most people think that there are two kinds of stuff: Theirs and Not theirs.  For that guy, he thinks that the park isn’t his, so it’s…
