The older we get, does it really make us wiser. Do we decide to put our selves first?..does that make us selfish?.. A friend of mine recently told me “Putting yourself first does not make you selfish, it makes you centered.” WOW, I most recently found that statement to be true. If we do not take time for ourselves then what kind of people do we really become. We all know someone this story fits. They put others in front of themselves for so long they either become co-dependant, or will not better their life, because they fear hurting someone’s feelings. Your children, your husband, your boyfriend, your cell phone, your dog, your boss, your best friend. TAKE A MOMENT TO BREATHE. It’s only a moment, they will wait. Start with that moment, brief as it may be, take it and hold tight. I realize it takes more than a moment to find COMPLETE clarity. With each opportunity you seek the more opportunities you will find, the clarity will find itself to your mind. The happier you will be the more centered your mind will be. I guess it is a personal choice to learn from our mistakes. To grow from our experiences, to, if only for a moment put our self first. I ask you ,” What is your choice?”
