“If someone seriously wants to be a part of your life, they will seriously make an effort to be in it.”
-Unknown
If you’re read my previous articles on this site, you’ll notice that one thing I always stress on is never giving up on anything that’s a passion and close to your heart no matter how many obstacles come in your way. But are there exceptions to that philosophy? Are there instances when giving up will actually be advantageous?
OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS SUPPORT. WHEN WE GIVE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS THROUGH POSITIVITY WE ARE WORKING ON GOD’S BEHALF. I DON’T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS BUT DO KNOW THAT WE, AS WRITERS AND LEADERS WAS CALLED UPON TO SET THE STAGE. SUPPORT IS VERY IMPORTANT FROM OTHERS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO OURSELVES. WE ARE AN INDIVIDUAL’S FOR A REASON.
WE MUST BE STABLE, STANDING ON OUR OWN TWO FEET BEFORE OTHERS CAN BE LEANED ON. WHEN WE NEED SUPPORT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE THIS TO OUR LOVED ONES. IT IS OKAY TO NEED OTHERS, WHAT HAPPENS IF WE HAVE AN ISSUE THAT WE SIMPLY CAN’T HANDLE? WE NEED TO ACCEPT THE FACT THERE ARE TIMES WE WILL NEED ANOTHER PERSON TO LEAN ON. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DON’T HAVE A GOOD SUPPORT SYSTEM?
WE USUALLY ISOLATE AND BECOME DEPRESSED. SOMETIMES, IT IS SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT IF OR WHEN WE NEED SUPPORT. THE SUPPORT CAN BE NECESSARY EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY OR PSYCHOLOGICALLY. I FEEL LOST AT TIMES IN MY LIFE. BEING PERMANENTLY DISABLED IS DIFFICULT. WE STOP CARING ABOUT THE THINGS WE USED TO ENJOY. OUR CHILDREN GROW UP AND LEAVE TO FORM THEIR OWN FAMILIES. THERE OFTEN ARE OTHERS THAT WE CAN REACH OUT TO. BUT DO NOT.
IT MAY FEEL LIKE OUR WORLD IS FALLING APART. HOW DO WE HANDLE THIS? WE REACH OUT FOR HELP FROM A PROFESSIONAL. THEY CANNOT FIX US. WE MUST “FIX OURSELVES”. WHAT A PROFESSIONAL CAN DO IS PROVIDE CLARITY AND DIRECTION, TEACHING YOU WAYS TO CALM DOWN IF, FOR EXAMPLE YOU SUFFER WITH ANXIETY. BECAUSE COUNSELORS AND MANY PSYCHOLOGISTS ARE NOT DOCTN AREAS WE MAYORS AND NOT ABLE TO PRESCRIBE ANTIDEPRESSANTS, OR ANTI-ANXIETY MEDICATION, THEY DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO KNOW IF YOU NEED MEDICATION AS PART OF AN OVERALL TREATMENT PLAN. THEY ALSO CAN PROVIDE EMDR TREATMENT FOR TRAUMA AND NARRATIVE PSYCHOLOGY TO HELP THOSE ISSUES SURFACE SO TOGETHER, YOU CAN DEAL WITH YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES THIS REQUIRES DILIGENCE ON YOUR PART TO GET SUPPORT WHEN IT IS NEEDED. SOMETIMES, TALKING WITH A FRIEND, JUST ISN’T ENOUGH.
THEY CAN’T FIX ISSUES, BUT TEACH US TO COPE WITH THEM. COGNITIVE THERAPY, ER THERE ARE TIMES WE MAY NEED SOMEONE TO ADDRESS WITH US WHAT THEY SEE OBJECTIVELY WITHIN US. WE MAY BE IN DENIAL AND SADLY, THIS IS THE VERY TIME WE NEED SUPPORT. WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SUPPORT IN OUR WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND THE DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF SUPPORT?
WEBSTER DEFINITION FOR SUPPORT-1. GIVE ASSISTANCE TO, ESPECIALLY FINANCIALLY, ENABLE TO FUNCTION OR ACT. 2. GIVE APPROVAL, COMFORT OR ENCOURAGEMENT TO. (PARTIAL).
DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF SUPPORT-A PLATFORM OF INDIVIDUALS INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND LOVED ONES WHO HELP YOU IN TIMES OF NEED.
SUPPORT FROM OTHERS IS NOTHING TO FEEL ASHAMED OF WHEN YOU NEED HELP. THEY WOULD RATHER HELP YOU THAN SEE YOU COPE WITH YOUR ISSUE ALONE. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT. SUPPORT CAN BE GIVEN LOVINGLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND EVEN PHYSICAL HELP QUALIFIES IN AREAS WE NEED SUPPORT. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REACH OUT WHEN WE NEED TO WITH OTHERS. THANKS FOR READING, SAMANTHA

“When you say ‘yes’ to others, make sure you’re not saying ‘no’ to yourself.”
-Paulo Cohelo
When is it good to be selfish?
Caring for and assisting others is no doubt, an admirable quality. Without that aspect of humanity, the world would never move forward.
OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS “WOUNDS”. I AM NOT REFERRING TO A PHYSICAL WOUND, BUT THE SAME STEPS TO HEAL ONE, DO APPLY TO OUR EMOTIONAL WOUNDS. IF A WOUND IS BLEEDING, AND THE BLEEDING DOESN’T STOP, IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS WE NEED TO TAKE ADDITIONAL STEPS TO GET THAT BLEEDING TO STOP SUCH AS STITCHES AT AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. IT IS NO DIFFERENT WHEN WE HAVE PSYCHOLOGICAL WOUNDS. IF THEY ARE NOT TREATED FIRST BY ACKNOWLEDGING THEM, THEN TAKING STEPS TO HEAL THEM THEY WILL TAINT OUR PERCEPTION OF OTHERS, LEVEL OF TRUST, AND ABILITY TO HAVE SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS OF ANY KIND.
LET ME WALK THIS THROUGH. FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED AS A CHILD. I NEVER TELL ANYONE MY SECRET BECAUSE OF SHAME AND HUMILIATION. I ACTUALLY PUSH IT OUT OF MY MIND EVERY TIME IT SURFACES IN MY MIND. I CAN’T BRING MYSELF TO THINK ABOUT IT, MUST LESS GET HELP TO HEAL THIS WOUND. IT LITERALLY BEGINS TO BLEED INTO OTHER AREAS OF MY LIFE. I AM NOW IN MY FIRST SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP. HOWEVER, SOME PART OF ME “HOLDS BACK”, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO SEXUAL INTIMACY.
I HAD HELD INSIDE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND BURIED IT, AND YEARS LATER, BECAUSE I DIDN’T TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO HEAL THE WOUNDS THAT REMAINED, THEY WERE STILL RAW AND OPEN.
WHAT STEPS SHOULD I HAVE TAKEN? THE FIRST STEP WOULD HAVE BEEN TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HAD HAPPENED AT THE TIME. THE NEXT STEP WOULD HAVE BEEN TO TELL A PARENT OR ADULT I TRUSTED. THE NEXT STEP WOULD HAVE BEEN TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH A TRUSTED ADULT AND THEN GET TO A PROFESSIONAL EQUIPPED TO GIVE ME THE PROPER HELP I NEEDED. WOUNDS THAT ARE DEEP AND EMOTIONAL END UP BEING “REPRESSED MEMORIES” OFTEN WHEN NOT ADDRESSED ESPECIALLY AS A CHILD. DO YOU SEE THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL WOUNDS WE GET? WE CAN’T LEAVE EMOTIONAL WOUNDS TO FESTER IN OUR MINDS EVEN WHEN WE PUSH THEM BACK TO OUR SUBCONSCIOUS BECAUSE THEY DON’T EVER JUST “GO AWAY”.
I FINALLY SAW A THERAPIST AS AN ADULT FOR SOMETHING THAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME AS A CHILD, IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO DRAG THE MEMORIES UP. MANY DETAILS OF THIS SEXUAL ABUSE CAME OUT I HAD BLOCKED OUT OR FORGOTTEN OVER THE YEARS. I LEARNED BECAUSE I HAD TOLD NO ONE AND THE EMOTIONAL WOUND CONTINUED TO FESTER, I WAS EMOTIONALLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ANY RELATIONSHIP. THE SEXUAL ABUSE WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO ME “HOLDING BACK” EMOTIONALLY. IF YOU KEEP A SECRET TO YOURSELF, BE PREPARED TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER IT IS AT YOUR OWN CONSEQUENCES. THE SECRETS WE KEEP ARE EVENTUALLY THE DETRIMENTS WE EXPERIENCE OFTEN WITHOUT CORRELATING THE TWO. THAT IS WHY EMOTIONAL WOUNDS AS DEEP AS THE EXAMPLE I GAVE, NEED TO BE DEALT WITH BEST WITH A PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST OR THERAPIST.
IN TIME, WE DO HEAL. WE RECOGNIZE DANGEROUS PATTERNS BEFORE THEY AFFECT OUR RELATIONSHIPS. WE THEN FIND STRENGTH WITHIN BECAUSE WE ARE GIVEN TOOLS AND SKILLS TO COPE WITH OUR EMOTIONAL WOUNDS.
THERE ARE MANY OTHER EXAMPLES I COULD USE, BUT I THINK YOU ALL GET THE GIST OF THIS. WE MUST NOT STUFF IN OUR EMOTIONAL ABUSES OR PSYCHOLOGICAL OR PHYSICAL ABUSE. ONCE WE DEAL WITH THESE TRAGEDIES THROUGH WHATEVER STEPS NECESSARY TO LEARN COPING SKILLS, UNHEALTHY PATTERN RECOGNITION, AND WORK TOWARDS HEALING, WE GO FROM “VICTIM TO SURVIVOR”! IN THE END, WE WIN. THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING. SAMANTHA/DAILYWISDOMWORDS.COM.

What is Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS)? Founded by Annie Hopper, a limbic system rehabilitation specialist, DNRS claims to be a neuroplasticity-based treatment method for chronic illnesses, some physical and some psychological.
If we break it down, neuroplasticity is basically the functioning of different networks in our brains. These networks allow the brain to grow (or shrink), organize, direct and redirect depending on the environment we’re in at any given time.

The noblest thoughts we can have is wanting to help someone, especially when we’re personally not gaining anything from it. Help is what takes humanity forward. Help is what keeps everyone going as we all need it at many stages of our lives.

I explained in my last post how I would go over some more techniques which allow us to step back in troubled times and mentally reboot ourselves when our minds get cluttered. Here are some more tips that might help you stop and smell the roses momentarily.

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS SENSITIVITY. “BEING SENSITIVE” CAN BE BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE. WHEN I THINK OF SENSITIVITY, I DO THINK OF MYSELF BEING OVERLY SENSITIVE. IT IS HARD WHEN YOU ARE SENSITIVE AS A CHILD, AND PERHAPS YOU GREW UP WITH A PARENT WHO WAS NOT SENSITIVE BY NATURE. THIS DESCRIBES MY STEP-FATHER WHO WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED AS A SENSITIVE PERSON. WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD WHO IS OVERLY-SENSITIVE, AND A PARENT WHO IS NOT THOUGHT OF AS BEING SENSITIVE, A PROBLEM DEVELOPS. THIS STARTS OFF WITH FRUSTRATION ON THE PARENT’S PART AND PAIN ON THE CHILD’S BEHALF. BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND DAILY WISDOM WORDS DEFINITION OF SENSITIVITY.
WEBSTER DEFINITION OF SENSITIVITY-1. A PERSON’S FEELINGS WHICH MIGHT BE EASILY OFFENDED OR HURT; SENSITIVITIES
DAILY WISDOM WORDS DEFINITION OF SENSITIVITY-BEING IN TUNE WITH YOUR OWN FEELINGS AND
IRONICALLY, AS I GOT OLDER, MY DAD BECAME MORE SENSITIVE. HOWEVER, SOME OF THE DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE. MY BROTHER WAS ALSO A PERSON WHO APPEARED TO BE INSENSITIVE. LOOKING BACK, I SEE HE USED THIS TOUGH GUY ATTITUDE TO APPEAR TO BE “STRONG”. PART OF THIS HAD TO DO WITH MY STEP-DAD BEING SUCH A TOUGH PERSON TO DEAL WITH. HE WAS A LONG-DISTANCE TRUCKER AND USED TO HARD WORK. HE RAISED HIMSELF FROM THE AGE OF ELEVEN YEARS OLD ON BY BUILDING A VERY PRIMITIVE CABIN IN THE WOODS OF TENNESSEE. IF YOU LOOK BEHIND A CHILD HAVING TO GET HIS OWN FOOD, CREATE HIS OWN SHELTER AND GROW UP THIS PRIMITIVE, YOU CAN SEE WHY MY DAD WAS THE WAY HE WAS. THE LAST THING HE COULD AFFORD TO BE WAS “SENSITIVE”.
BEING OVERLY-SENSITIVE PRESENTS ISSUES. THE WORLD IS NOT FULL OF SENSITIVE PEOPLE AND I GET MY FEELINGS HURT EASILY. I ALSO CRY EASILY. HOWEVER, TO BE A SENSITIVE INDIVIDUAL IS A GREAT THING. IT IS WONDERFUL WHEN YOU ARE NOT TOO SENSITIVE TO CRY AT THE DROP OF A HAT, BUT SENSITIVE ENOUGH TO TUNE INTO OTHER’S FEELINGS AND BE CONSCIOUS OF THEM. LIFE IS A MYRIAD OF EMOTIONS BUT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO BE LOGICAL HALF THE TIME IN ORDER TO LEARN FROM OTHERS WITHOUT GETTING OUR FEELINGS HURT. BEFORE WRITING MORE ABOUT THIS, LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE MEANING OF SENSITIVITY IN OUR WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION.
WEBSTER DICTIONARY MEANING OF SENSITIVITY-1. THE QUALITY OR CONDITION OF BEING SENSITIVE. 2. A PERSON’S FEELINGS WHICH MIGHT BE EASILY OFFENDED OR HURT. SENSITIVITIES.
DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF SENSITIVITY- A PERSONALITY TRAIT THAT IS STRONGER IN SOME INDIVIDUAL’S PERSONALITY THAN THEMSELVES. PEOPLE WHO ARE “SENSITIVE” TEND TO BE MORE EMOTIONAL AND ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ANOTHER’S FEELINGS. THEY TEND TO EMPATHIZE OR SYMPATHIZE MORE OFTEN THEN A PERSON WHO IS NOT SENSIBLE OR INSENSITIVE.
THE BEST THING WE CAN DO, WHEN WE HAVE A PERSONALITY TRAIT THAT CAN BE EITHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE IS FILL OUR LIVES WITH THINGS AND INDIVIDUALS THAT UNDERSTAND US AND THIS QUALITY, AS WELL AS FIND A CAREER THAT WILL ENHANCE THIS QUALITY AND USE IT FOR GOOD THINGS. FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED LISTENING AND WORKING WITH KIDS.
MY POSTS, YOU WILL NOTICE SHOW A CONTROVERSIAL PERSONALITY OR TWO SIDES OF MYSELF. I THINK THE HARDEST PART I MISS SINCE BEING FORCED TO RETIRE. THERE AGAIN ARE TWO SIDES OF MY PERSONALITY. I DON’T NECESSARILY THINK THIS IS UNIQUE. I MISS SO MUCH THE SOCIAL SIDE OF WHO I AM. YES, EVEN THOUGH MY CURRENT LIFESTYLE IS REMOTE AND QUIET I AM STILL OVERLY-SENSITIVE. THIS IS THE ONE QUALITY THAT BOTH SIDES OF WHO I AM, AN INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT. SENSITIVITY IS A FEELING. SOMETIMES, THINGS ARE SAID FROM OTHERS AND CAN BE TAKEN TWO WAYS. MY TENDENCY IS TO TAKE WHATEVER HAS BEEN SAID AND TAKE IT PERSONALLY. THIS IS THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF MY SENSITIVITY.
MY POINT IS ANY QUALITY, ESPECIALLY SENSITIVITY, CAN BE TAKEN TO AN EXTREME. MODERATION IS THE KEY TO ALL QUALITIES WE HAVE, AND IT IS UP TO US TO DO AN HONEST ASSESSMENT ON OURSELVES TO FIGURE OUT IF WE ARE HEALTHY, MENTALLY, AND PHYSICALLY AND ANY QUALITY, ESPECIALLY SENSITIVITY TAKEN TO AN EXTREME, CAN BE A GOOD OR BAD THING DEPENDING ON HOW EXTREME WE TAKE ANY QUALITY TO. WE NEED TO POLISH OUR PERSONALITY TRAITS TO BE BALANCED AND HEALTHY. MY QUALITY IS SENSITIVITY WHICH CAN BE BAD OR GOOD DEPENDING ON HOW WE USE IT AND WHAT CAPACITY WE USE IT IN.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING ABOUT SENSITIVITY TODAY. HAVE A BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED DAY. SAMANTHA LEBOEUF

Amidst everything going one, I’ll going to take the liberty of keeping this post shorter than usual.
There is one difference between this post and my other posts. I have not one but two messages of advice for readers.
“Tied to apron strings, dreams forget to fly!”
-Orion
The noblest thoughts we can have is wanting to help someone, especially when we’re personally not gaining anything from it. Help is what takes humanity forward. Help is what keeps everyone going as we all need it at many stages of our lives.
But is there a limit to that? Does there come a stage when it’s time to let go; when it’s time to cut the apron strings? According me to, yes there is.
LYRICS
How do we know when we are getting “good advice”? Does advice have to come from a licensed therapist, or psychiatrist? If you choose to go to a friend or family member, it really is best to get advice from someone close to you? The answers to these questions are yes, all are generally true. However, to clarify a post we recently had, I will address as many of these questions as I am able. Let’s first take a look at the Webster Dictionary me wisdom meaning of advice.
Webster Dictionary meaning of advice-1. Guidance or recommendations, concerning prudent future action given by someone regarded as someone who is knowledgeable or authoritative.
Daily Wisdom Words Definition of advice-Wise information given from one person to another, based off their own experiences and yes, mistakes about a problem or dilemma they have had or something similar to it having learned from those mistakes.
Do you ever wonder why I choose a daily wisdom word? I promise you, at the end of this article, you will understand. I don’t know what happened to me between my thirties and late forties. In my thirties, I seemed to be attracted to drama. I had gotten a divorce after almost eight years of marriage. I had a taste of freedom. I was single, and a mother of two young children, but unlike many of my friends, I had a great ex-husband. He enjoyed his time with the children on the weekends meaning I had free time on my hands.
I started out being single, with quite a bit of naivety. I would listen to the compliments from men and believe them. I would expect them to be gentlemen and for the most part they were, in the beginning. I met someone who lived in Florida but was visiting his friend in Denver. We were at a restaurant/bar place that was fairly nice, and shockingly the guy who liked me, from Florida, was there visiting Bruce, the only man I had met that I like since I had been single.
The guy from Florida wanted to see me the following day, before he went back to Florida. Shockingly, when he arrived at the restaurant we were at, he had,of all people, Bruce with him. I was so attracted to Bruce that I was almost rude to the guy from Florida, and before David’s (the person from Florida). What I needed, was some advice, pure and simple. I needed to find someone familiar with the situation I was going through or similar circumstances that could relate.
Back to why I choose some of the daily wisdom words I do. In this case, it is because we have a brand new web page launching that I am very excited about!! This page will be called, Neel and Samantha’s Wise Advice, and will allow you, the reader, to ask questions about anything, and get either a gut instinct, intuition answer from either Neel Trivedi, (Wisdomology) or Samantha LeBoeuf (Daily Wisdom Words).
Let me begin explaining this page, by first letting you know our disclaimers. Neither Neel or I have a degree, or are a licensed Counselor, Psychologist, or Psychiatrist in any way. That does not make, however, our opinions less worthy from the Sincerity. We will be doing research should this be a health question we cannot answer, and you will have your choice, on which way you would like us to answer your question. We can “call” you to talk about it, text you an answer, either Neel, or I can email you, or send this response over social media. You may choose if you prefer one of us to answer this question, based on what kind of question the answer would be better suited for, such as male or female question, ECT., or perhaps you have a greater comfort level, to either Neel or Myself.
Although we are not professionals, we will do our best to answer your questions. Out of fairness to other guests, please choose one topic level, and if we have time towards the end of the program, we will readdress this question should you feel you answer wasn’t sufficient. Remember: We are just your friends, and in all of our “Wise Advice” potential answers, these answers will never be as good as a professional answering them.
In order to promote conversation, we will start off with a controversial or current event article. This article will hopefully bring some questions to your minds, and they will be interesting enough, that you have answers them, and see how this works out. We do reserve the right to change the basis of this program at any time, depending on your needs, and wants.
Thanks so much for reading about advice today, and we’re wishing you a beautiful and blessed day. We will most likely start this towards Friday, end of the week, and we will be “LIVE” with you and the show Monday-.Thursday, Neel will be hosting two days, of the week after we get this page created, and myself, the other two days of the week. (We reserve the right to make changes to the show without your permission, and report any suicidal ideations we deem serious.)
Have a beautiful and blessed day, and we can’t wait to help you with any problems you have.

“Realize that you are not alone, that we are in this together and most importantly, that there is hope.”
-Actress Deepika Padukone
One of the most common feelings to have when going through anything negative in life is, “Why me?”
Way back when I first started writing for this site, I had even written a short piece about it.
This piece is sort of an extension of that.
When facing grief, it’s common to think it’s centralized on you.
Before I proceed further, let me say that I never undervalue anyone’s grief no matter how small it may be. Different people have different problems with different point of views.
That said, I think it does help if we keep in mind that there are problems everywhere.
Everyone always has something or the other going on. Sometimes, it may take time to see that as some people are more expressive about their feelings than others.
But they’re always there.
Taking that thought forward, one thing that helps me often is seeking out others who are going through something similar.
I do this mostly online, on forums and message boards. For example, if I have writing issues, I address the writing community on Twitter. More often than not, I get several adequate responses.
When my depression gets really bad, I visit a couple of private forums that have been set up for people with symptoms specifucally similar to mine.
If we remember these two main points, that there are others out there like us and to actively seek them out, the journey might become a little easier.
Will it always offer a solution? Not necessarily. But it will help you cope better with whatever you’re dealing with.
How do you seek help when dealing with grief? Do you seek others out who are in the same boat? Share your thoughts and methods in the comment section below.
“When you say ‘yes’ to others, make sure you’re not saying ‘no’ to yourself.”
-Paulo Cohelo
This quote by Brazilian songwriter and author Paulo Cohelo is very important to remember, especially when caring for loved ones.
Before we set out to make anyone else happy, we must make sure we’re happy.
That will allow us to spread more happiness to others.
It’s like they say on a plane, always put an oxygen mask on yourself before assisting others.
If we’re helping people grudgingly, the negativity could easily rub off with the help you give.
Be selfish every once in a while. Because you deserve it and are worth it as an individual.
