It is nice to
take care of other people. However, it is much easier taking care of other
people than of your own self: in doing
so, we don’t have to look at our own emotional needs.
Therefore,
those who learn to satisfy their own emotional needs, get the opportunity to
learn about themselves while enjoying life.
From this, it’s easy to understand why all those people who really know
the importance of satisfying their own emotional needs are generous and kind
with others: they feel prosperous; they are happy for sharing.
Those who have
learned only how to serve the others usually end up being exhausted. It is like a waterfall that only distributes
its water, but in its source it doesn’t receive anything.
Serving the
others instigates our generosity. This is good. While serving ourselves, we learn
to take care of ourselves.
That is it!
Taking care of ourselves means to include ourselves in the love we offer to
others.Put this into practice at this end of year. This is a beautiful and maybe the best Christmas gift you can give yourself.
