In order to positively impact those around us, we have to prioritise our own happiness.
I know, it sounds selfish and counter productive but how can you expect to change somebody and their state when your wellbeing is ignored?
Many people believe that serving others willingly and ignoring their own needs, wants and wishes is the key to peoples respect and admiration. In many cases, this is totally false.
In order to truly help people, you must first help yourself. Why do you choose to continually help someone that gives nothing in return? Why do you continually work yourself to the point in which you have no energy for YOU, let alone other people?
If you truly wish to help other people, take the time to help yourself by investing energy, time and commitment to YOUR wants, needs and wishes.
You cannot serve from an empty vessel.
