In our quest to serve, heal, improve, and make the world a better place to live -- all too often, we skip over ourselves. Doing this short-circuits our original intention to help others. How could we ever seek to make the world better if we don't include ourselves in the equation?

Do you leave yourself out too much? In serving others, do you forget to take care of yourself? ... if so ... it's okay -- don't beat up on yourself. Just notice it.

If so, I encourage you to find one way that you can start taking care of yourself first. Put your needs of self-care, self-love, and self-esteem ahead of others in this one area of your life.

The good news is that the more you take care of YOU, the more love you have for others.
