Every day of our lives we interact with different kinds of people. Our interactions begin from our homes and areas of residence, schools, college, universities or educational centers, praises of worship, stores and food joints among so many other places. Our interactions are sometimes preplanned while others just happen as we go through our daily chores as we all need each other in our co-existence. Some interactions go unnoticed while other leave memorable moments in our lives that a continued forms of interactions follow. How each perceives any form of interaction they experience depend on many factors; the motive of the interaction, form of interaction, reason for interaction; the need for the interaction; and most important how the interaction influences our lives. It is sometimes hard or tricky to say who has influenced you most in your life. The measuring standard to this might be so difficult to determine. Different people influence our lives in different ways ad for different reasons. So how do I rate who have influenced me the most? Will it be the person who is there for me every day or the one who led me through a critical moment of my life? However, there are several people who always stand out and it would go without saying that they have influenced us the most.

It may be expressed as the absence of mental anxiety or stress. What results to peace of mind is relative and depends on what terms more important than the other. A poor man living in the suburbs, with only enough to eat may have peace of mind unlike a billionaire living a filthy life. What causes lack of peace of mind differs greatly from one individual to the other and depends on both internal and external factors within one's environment. Everyone “loves to be lovedâ€. Love has many guises and what it is depends on where one is in relation to love. Love for one's family, neighbor, country, God and so on hold differing qualities. Love has been said to be a driver of all great stories, from romantic love, for country, to what one enjoys doing most in their lives. In all this dimensions, love is seen as a passionate commitment that we develop and nurture. The paradox of it all is that love is free and non-restrictive yet it binds us so strongly that we feel its power amongst ourselves. The beauty I would wish to hold in my life is one that's not physical but can be felt. The beauty in me determines how people thi...
