Taking Care

How can you claim to love yourself if you don't take care of your health- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual? They are interrelated. Physical sicknesses tend to affect the mental and emotional health and vice versa.

If you can't love yourself, how can you claim to love anyone else?

can you give something that you don't have?

If you can't stay motivated and enthisuastic, how can you spread motivation and enthusiasm?If you are not healthy, will anyone listen to your health tips? If you are fired, will anyone ask you for advice in career advancement? If you are in debt, will people trust their financial matters to your hands?

People tend to accept people who accept themselves. If you are different, you will be treated differently. There is no other way around. People love people who love themselves. If you have self-respect, others respect you. When you need help, no one comes to help. When you are in great success, everyone wants to help you get better and higher.

We never really need the approval of and appreciation and respect from others but our egos cry out for the outside recognition. The real power is in each of us. Be determined to treat yourself as the only King in your own Kingdom and only allow those who can bring the best out of you enter your Kingdom.

Don't hesitate to drop anything or anyone that makes you unhealthy and unproductive. Strengthen your body with adequate exercise, whole foods, sound sleep, relaxation and fun. Spend time with nature, great books, family and friends, with yourself in silence. The only voice of God is silence. Relax and you will be perfectly ok. The world will not fall apart as far as you hold yourself dearly.

No one can give you answers to your problems. But everyone is your teachers. How much you can learn is up to you to decide. Never expect others to make you healthy, happy, or successful. It is your own homework. Never expect others become the way you want them to be because they were not made for you. You were made for you. You better to take the job seriously and take care yourself with what you have.

Come out of your fears and life means to be lived with your heart's desire. Treat yourself well and you will be amazed how much you can do, how much you can have, and how wonderful you can be. Never let anyone or anything make you doubt yourself. Choose believes, values, friends, works that expand you, grow you, bring the best out of you. Drop all that make you sad, angry, fearful, or resentful. 

If the universe can run in harmony by the invisible hand, you can certainly go through each day of your life in grace and glory if you trust yourself. Nothing is more depressing when an apple tries to be an orange or a cat tries to be a dog. You are YOU.
