*What is Social Health? Social health is the state of being comfortable with yourself in relation to others. As far as your life is concerned, you are the priority.
*While we can easily control other forms of health because they are internal. Social health seems to be more difficult because it is external. We relate more with people than we relate with things on earth.
*We are happy when people we love are happy. We are sad when people we love are sad. We do things, not just because of ourselves but because of people around us.
*Socioeconomic factors such as where we live, where we work, our education and income level, and our relationships with people, all affect our health more than the microbial agents around us that cause infections.
*Have you found out that it's not only drugs that treat infections? It's not only surgery that heals wounds? And it's not only labour that brings out babies? It's the connections, the emotions, and the expressions between Doctors and the patients that did. Social health brings mental and physical health.
*You will think you own people until the One that owns them make you understand that you are just like them. Detach yourself from owning people. They are not your property. Be healthy with relating with people. That's the way to go.
*God created us as social beings, not to depend on one another but to relate with one another. The relationship is for fulfilling our purpose not for misusing our purpose.
*How do we solve major problems in our world? By going back to our families. Every individual came from a family. The basic structural and functional unit of any society is family.
*I'm an African, so I don't relate with an Asian. I'm a Nigerian, so I don't relate with a Ghanian. I'm a Yoruba, so I don't relate with an Ibo. I'm a Christian, so I don't relate with a Muslim. I'm a Pentecostal, so I don't relate with a Catholic. I'm this, so I don't relate with that. So, our differences have separated us from people. We've lost opportunities, values and respect because of these wrong mindsets. But part of social health is our ability to relate well with people despite our differences. Our differences should not separate us but elevate us.
*Money is always affecting human relationships, because we understand it in different ways. But here is a simple solution- Know what you are living for.
*Here is beautiful! We can make it heaven. Different people. Different nations. Over 7.6 billion of us. I'm not sure only one person can enjoy everything here alone. Life is beautiful, thank God good people are here.
*How lovely to be with your family. That's where you belong. You share your thoughts, ideas, feelings, fears, joys, and different things of life with them. Have good time with your family. They are people who destiny has brought you together and they contribute to your health.
*Our experience with people tends to affect our relationship with other people. People are not the same. But people can be related the same, from a good heart.
*Sometimes we live with people who are not our best friends. They come as roommates, housemates or neighbours. We have conflicts. We have issues. We think they are not healthy to us. And we want to find way out. But here's a fact, they will always make us better if we learn to love.
*It's people that build roads. It's people that build economies. It's people that build securities. It's people that build infrastructures. It's people that build good healthcare. It's people that build systems and structures, not God, not angels, but people.
*Things that we do to people most times are things that we cannot take by ourselves. What puts us in check is discipline. We must discipline our thoughts and actions toward people if we will not keep regretting on our actions.
*How much can we say about how people around us have contributed to our health. Many have suffered health breakdown after divorce, disappointments, death of loved ones, excommunications, public defamation, dehumanization, intimidation, bullying, and all sorts of innuendos. Life here is shorter than being lived in pains and agony. Decide to enjoy it.
*Some people have told me why they've become so callous and wicked. They said people misbehaved to them. And I asked "will you go to hell because people misbehaved to you?
*Politics is part of social health. Playing bad politics on citizens can affect their health. But good politics can improve their health. France is an example.
*Yes, as humans we like public approval. We want people to celebrate us. But I hope your life is not dependent on it. So that when people will no longer see you, you can be yourself. Most people don't know who you are. They only see what you have.
*Research has shown us that people who are more socially healthy have less stress hormones in their body than people who are not. Good relations with people affects good health.
*While many people are still struggling with type I civilization, the world is getting to type II civilization where more than half of people in the world will be useless. The idea is simple- If you are not adding a unique value to the world, you will not be needed here.
