The Author's Corner: One

When it comes to life, we are in control of what we do. We are one of billions; however, we are the most important one to us. It is something to be able to put ourselves first when it comes to our life. There is a sad fact that we are not taught to thinks this way because it is something that is learned. As we leave home, we find out that if we want something it is up to us to get it, a lesson that we all should know before we leave.

In what has taken place in our lives, we need to do more for ourselves instead of others. Placing ourselves first everyday is when we become one with ourselves. It sounds selfish to think that way, however it is the way the world works. We are always told to think of other people, by doing that we are not taking care of number one.

Today’s society speaks of thinking of others, in that is the problem. The problem is when someone says to think about others, they are trying to tell you how you should be. It comes down to you to make the choice of where you place yourself in life.

As the time comes to be and you start to put yourself first, you will break free from the negativity of the world. You will start a path where your life will change as you start to reach your own goals and dreams.

Never say to someone that they should put another person before themselves. Whitin friendships that are true, you will never have to put their lives above yours. The reason for this is because true friends understand that you have your own life to live. They give you support, and you should do the same, in no way will you ever have to decide between yourself or them. Most true friends are like this.

Within the steps that you go through with your life, take the time to put yourself first. It is your life and even if you have kids and a spouse, you should be the first person you think of when you wake up and then your family. Taking care of yourself is a responsibility that falls on you. If you need to take time from your life, do it because no one is going to do it for you.

Life comes with all types of situations in our days, just know that you are there for you.

Stay safe.
