Do You Put Yourself First? Many would probably answer no to this question because we would think it's selfish to do so. But the fact is that we need to do that sometime in order to find the love and energy to illuminate onto others.
I took this photo when I was at Hefangjie in Hangzhou. I searched for a quote by Buddha and I found the one below that I will use to finish of this post. Sometimes it's good to keep it short.
"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection" - Buddha
Right! I got to think about a quote from Steve Jobs,
“Everything around you is made by people not smarter than you”.
Wish you a great day.
That is very true, we can all be successful, as long as we have the right determination and the clear plan of how to achieve it
A very happy new year @dandesign86
It is hard to give to others what you do not have. It is hard to love others without loving thyself :)
Happy new year ! 🎆 wow I like these two sayings - thanks for sharing them :)
I am glad you like them. The first one is by my mum :)
It's an awesome saying . So short precise and poetic
The better you take care of yourself, the better you can take care of others.
With big love from me,

Thanks man ! I completely agree with this saying :)
I learnt from my childhood experiences always put yourself first no matter what. In my teenage years I never got on with my mother`s boyfriend so after one fight one night between me and him. The police were called and came and said to my mother "Either he goes or he goes?"
As he was helping her pay the mortage I got the boot out on the street. I stayed with both of my grandmothers and the family turned against them as I was staying with them. My so called uncles said "If you do not kick him out we will never talk to you again!"
So after that I just realised families are just an illusion. As they only see you mostly on holidays like Easter, Christmas and the sunshine summer. In the other times of the year you are invisible to them all.
If you do not put yourself first in life you will become half the person you are meant to be.
I'm sorry to hear this story man ... I must say though I have also had a few moments in my life where I realized that I can only really count on myself. It's a freaking scary feeling but the earlier you realize it the better off you are
I think a lot of people don`t wake up into like their 30s or 40s or like something negative has happened to them. By that time I was pretty awake as a teenage as 3 years before I got hit by a car when crossing the road and that incident opened me up to what my meaning of life was going to be about. I do think if early in life if you suffer from a lot of negativity it will either break or make you as a person. If it does not break you, you will just gain much more mindset muscle throughout your life.
Peace is come from peace.
Love is come from love.
Do the things on others what you want to do on you by others.
Nice picture of buddha.
Thank you !

In fact, many of us may not express the answer to this question, but we think we should think first of all that most people think of me
