Be your own superhero

There are some of us who feel it’s part of our purpose to be responsible for others and be the superhero for others so from time to time, we sacrifice our own happiness for theirs.

However, everyone also needs a superhero from time to time, and in this case, you have to be your own superhero. Take time off from serving others and serve yourself. Someone once said being selfless basically means, I have enough for me to give others. Also bear in mind that it is only a full container that can give out its content to others, as no one can get anything from an empty container. So remember to fill yourself up, and then give to others out of what you have overflowing within you, or you will keep giving out to others until you’re all dried out and guess what? Sometimes, those we give so much of ourselves to may seek support from others as they continue their journey. Prioritizing your own well-being helps you stay strong and balanced in all your relationships.
