It’s mid-February already!!
Can you believe it?!
We’re in the middle of the first quarter of 2023 and by now, some of us have forgotten about the intentions we set at the beginning of January.
No shade, just facts.
Sooooo… let me ask you a simple question to help you get back on track.
Who do you love?
I’m sure your first response is probably your spouse/partner, children, family, friends, etc. I’m also pretty certain that your calendar reflects those other people’s importance in your life.
That’s cool.
But, can I ask you a question?
If you love them so much, why aren’t you taking care of the person that they love?
Yeah, that would be YOU!
If you’re not keeping your commitments to yourself –
to get better sleep,
workout,
eat better,
start that business you’ve been dreaming about,
or write that book you’ve been putting off FOREVER –
how can you possibly commit to anyone else?
Make it make sense!
If you’re not FULL-filled, you can’t sustain your giving to others.
Remember, not only is it impossible to pour from an EMPTY cup,
you shouldn’t be pouring from the cup AT ALL!
Live life so full that you pour from the saucer.
That command to ‘love your neighbor as yourself’ only works when you take of yourself first.
I dare you to love yourself and watch how much easier it is to care for others.
Stay safe and be well!

Thank you so much for this reminding jolt. I just returned from vacation and was
struggling to get back on track. As you see I’m awake at 1:11am on a work day. So thanks for the jolt. I’m getting back on track. Good morning!
YAY!!! So glad you found it helpful. We all need a little help sometimes 🙂
