Take care of yourself.

        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.
