Many people have trouble thinking of themselves as “good enough” unless told by someone else. They often overlook their good traits believing others are way better and there’s nothing good about them at all. But everyone knows that’s not true. Everyone has something in them they should be proud of. The good thing about compliments…

We Don’t Need Another War
Nothing’s worse than countries fighting one another because of conflicting ideologies or for any other reason. Nothing’s worse than seeing innocent people — especially kids — being slaughtered because of others’ evil agenda. Any war that is rooted in the desire to control others or conquer a territory only brings chaos and hatred. Nobody wants…
Patience for Difficult People
Some people can be annoying or aggressive. They don’t respect others. They don’t follow the rules. They behave in a very, very bad way. The easy thing to do is judge or condemn them. What’s hard is to educate and help them change for the better and improve themselves. Sure, we can never control their…
Volunteer
Almost all “improving the world” missions start with one volunteer. This volunteer doesn’t do it for the money or fame. But mostly, for meaning. What drives the volunteer is the belief that cleaning the community, or feeding the children, or donating clothes are meaningful activities. It’s worth their time. The volunteer has this vision that…
Trust Your People
If you’re running an organization (a business or a team), that means you’re working with people. You are leading and guiding them. Chaos within your organization is at times inevitable. Nothing’s perfect. And once you start pushing it to grow, challenges are guaranteed. There’s no other way. You’ve probably heard stories of organizations falling out…
Passing the Lesson
If you’ve been through a lot of suffering, retell your experiences to someone. Extract the lessons so they, too, can learn from your mistakes. This way, you’re not just a teacher. You are an inspiration. And you don’t have to force it. People will notice you’re telling the truth through your daily actions. The world…
One Little Help For One Person Who Needs it
You don’t just wake up helping everyone and changing the world. You’re just one person. The best way is to find one person who really needs help. Maybe that person needs a job. Try to contact your friends who might know. Or maybe that person needs someone to talk with. Maybe that person needs solutions…
A Choice to Make Our Lives Better
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…
What Kind of Neighbor Are You?
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…
Unity isn’t Conformity
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…
Toxic People, What to Do?
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 Not Just About Changing the World
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…
Not All People Will Do Good Things
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’t Force it. Instead, Respect
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,…
A Hundred Ways to Help
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…
It Starts With You
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…
How We Treat People Matters
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…

Plants Need Water to Grow and so is Everyone Else
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….
Having Siblings is Like Having Lifetime Best Friends
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…
