Your health (happiness) depends on it.
When asked what surprised him about humanity the
most, the Dalai Lama replied: “Man. Because he
sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he
sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he
is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy
the present; the result being that he does not live in
the present or the future; he lives as if he is never
going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
You cannot give what you don’t have.
For example – if you are tired and run down most of
the time – what do you have to give? If on the other
hand you took better care of yourself by nurturing
yourself, eating well, taking time out, having fun and
exercising – what do you think you could give then?
Martyrdom is overrated! We don’t have to suffer
and sacrifice our happiness and wellbeing for the sake
of the greater good. What good are you if you are sick
and/or injured?
You are worth it!
I believe it is important for every person to take care
of themselves as we are all worthy of love and
belonging. “Owning our story can be hard but not
nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from
it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not
nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and
belonging and joy – the experiences that make us the
most reasonable. Only when we are brave enough to
explore the darkness will we discover the infinite
power of our light.”
Ignorance is not bliss.
Exhaustion, stress and burnout do not equate to
personal effectiveness or good results for anyone.
“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere
ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
Thank You
