Saving A Little Something For Yourself

How many times have you given so much of yourself to others, that when it was time to give to yourself, you had nothing to give? You were drained and exhausted in more ways than one and when you stopped long enough to look around and see who could recharge and replenish you the way you have often done for others, you found that there was no one around. In that very moment, you find yourself thinking back on all of the choices that you have made and you begin to feel a tinge of regret and even a small bit of frustration and anger. This is when that MOMENT OF TRUTH comes and stares you dead in the face. The moment when it becomes time for you to take inventory of your own life, your own needs, and most importantly the support system that you have around you.

It's not always easy and taking a long hard look at yourself can BE very intimidating for many. It's the moment of truth when you can no longer point the finger at others and must now look at the very person who has caused the most stress, YOURSELF. However, it is also in this very same moment where you can make the most pivotal choice of your life. The choice is making the decision to SAVE A LITTLE BIT FOR YOURSELF. Don't give ALL of your time, love, energy attention, and so many other things away to others without making sure that you have saved enough for yourself. Look at it like this... If you had $100 and your partner asked you for some, I'm quite sure you wouldn't give them the entire one hundred dollars if that was all that you had. You would probably give them forty to fifty dollars and make sure you had enough to sustain your own needs. Well life is the same way. You have to preserve self if you want to survive, if you want to thrive. You have to have enough within yourself to keep pushing and fighting forward everyday.

Life can Be so simple, yet Fear and Doubt can kill so many dreams, goals and desires for so many people. Often times you can Be great at caring for others and assisting others with getting through life, yet have a hard time getting your own life together. It's as if you don't trust yourself when it comes to making decisions for yourself, however you trust yourself enough to help and guide others. That definitely has to change. You have to start believing that YOU ARE JUST AS WORTHY and DESERVING of all the things that you give so freely to those around you. You have to remember to Keep Yourself Full and to also allow yourself to BE FILLED. It is time to stop working against yourself. Place yourself in a position to receive the very things that you have asked for. You must also understand that sometimes YOU WILL have to BE the FIRST person to give those very things to yourself and then those around you will follow suit. Learn to LIVE AND LOVE in the very things that MAKE YOUR HEART SMILE. Most importantly, through all the ups and downs, the trials and tribulations, the good and the bad, always remember to..... SAVE A LITTLE FOR YOURSELF!!
