Ask yourself Quote by Cendie
“While it is important to be caring, compassionate and loving to others, it is vital to be all those things to ourselves, when we give give give all the time, we have nothing left to give ourselves. We cannot be all things to all people all of the time, some times they will disagree with the way you do things, even if you are trying to help them. Some times in this modern day and age we rush with every thing, try and complete every thing at once, some times it is good to ask yourself, do I really need to do all this today or can it wait till tomorrow? Take time out to do the things you like to do, give to yourself, it is when we please ourselves, then we can please and be there for others again, we replenish what it is we have given away, do what ever it is you enjoy doing, reading, watching television, going for a walk, being one with nature, it is important that you make time for yourself, put yourself on that list of things to do, we have to recharge a car battery , so take time to”
