I was chatting with a friend recently and realized that we
had a common malady. We would often go
the extra mile for friend or colleague in need meanwhile short changing
ourselves in the process.
The more I pondered this self-sabotaging behavior the more
aware I became of how much this has gotten out of hand. The need to please others has become so commonplace
that we often put our own goals and dreams on the back burner as to support others
in their endeavors.
I am not saying that we should turn into selfish beings but to become self-full. In others words put the oxygen mask on
yourself so that you can help others. The
truth is that when your tank is empty and you cannot breathe for giving all of
yourself to someone else you are in no shape to support either you or them in
the life you are called to lead.
Declare today the day that you breathe in the
fullness of you and give to yourself first!
