be kind to oneself

Why is it that we find the least time to spoil ourselves. Many a treat considered a luxury...unnecessary even if it be good for our health and well-being. Always finding an excuse as to ...

...why one cannot sit and rest  for a moment...for it would be considered a waste of time

...why one cannot invest in a selfish treat and lay back and not feel guilty about the spend...for it would be considered a waste of money

...why one cannot indulge in the company of another without expecting much in return...for then one would feel used

...why being the first to forgive when a fight or misunderstanding is petty...for one would be considered weak

A short list of many many things that detract from a life of peaceful existence considering the other challenges we have to face that are out of our control. And then the ability to be patient...understanding that ones own time frame may not be the same of another or that of the universe. When results wished, require a mind dedicated to wait out a result for a better one to come to fruition.

When we have the knowledge as to what may be good for us, yet, push stubbornly for that which will challenge our state of mind.

When good people and good company should be our sanctuary and sanctity but, we choose that which unsettles our rest.

How we have forgotten to selfishly invest in ourselves and learn, that by taking a step back and being good to ourselves will most probably mean...being good to another.

...just think about it....treat another the way u would wish the other to treat u....with respect, kindness and patience.

Should u not know your own self-worth then how could u ever know anothers.
