Thoughts about take good care of yourself first…
I am the kind of person who loves to give or help to the extent of becoming a sacrificial lamb. But when you’re in need there is no one you can turn to, it’s more of a rejection, that’s when you realize and say to yourself, I only wish I was wiser… somehow it’s never too late to realize that your priority is yourself.
“Always remember it is not selfish to give to yourself as much as you give to others. Never allow others to make you feel guilty for making yourself a priority.”
“Make yourself a priority. Fill yourself up so that you can give more to others.” Oprah Winfrey
And these final thoughts…
It’s wonderful that you’re so good to others. Always remember to be just as good to yourself as well.
Compromising your own well being does not benefit anyone else. It is when you are satisfied with yourself, confident in yourself, that you can benefit those around you.
When you wish to give, you first must have something of value to offer. If you seek to be of service to anyone else you must take good care of yourself.
Get your work done, indulge some small but important desires. Then you’re able to give your full attention and genuine care to those you love, and to many others.
Yes, it is a challenge to take care of yourself and to balance that with your care for others. It is not a challenge to be ignored or avoided.
If you want your life to matter to others it must matter to you. Take good care of yourself, and give life the best you have to offer.
