Nowadays so much is going on, and you can find yourself going through the motions of life like a non stop flight from one destination to the next. Career, family, relationships, and other obligations are just a few examples that require your time. Men and women both experience this and cope with the stress it may bring as well.
You can give so much of yourself and not realize you have become empty like a car with no gasoline.
There is nothing wrong with being a selfless person, especially since there appear to be an abundance of selfish people out here. One must also not neglect or forget about themselves in the process. When people do this, it can open the door way to mental and emotional deficiencies, such as depression, anxiety, anger & resentment to name a few.
Picture being on an airplane with a child, the safety instructions in case of an emergency, you must first put your oxygen mask on, this is required and wise to do. To some this may seem selfish, but if a parent doesn't do it, he or she may pass out and won't be able to help their child.
Moral of the story, if you don't take time to replenish yourself, you won't be any good to those you love and serve everyday.
The bible says in Isaiah 40:31, " But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint."
Poetic Thought:
Life is not a leperchaun, luck of the Irish,
Protect yourself at all cost, no Coronavirus,
Balance your equilibrium with work and play,
Embrace the present, cherish today,
GOD will grant you blessings that are new,
While loving others, don't forget you! ~ JD
I will leave you with this, Caring about others is a COURTESY but self love is a NECESSITY!
This month of March marks 7 years I started this blog Real Life University back in 2013. Though I took an unintentional hiatus, I am grateful for everyone who has supported this blog along with my books and podcast. GOD is good and I had to hit the reset button on my Purpose. The best is yet to come! Until next time, class dismiss!
