Let’s check your temperature.

How are you feeling? I feel proud of myself but, I’m also adulting. I’m paying bills, learning new skills, fostering new relationships, severing others, investing my money, spending my money, traveling more, reading daily and submerging myself in all things Me – because I deserve it. I’m unapologetically selfish right now and why shouldn’t I be?

Let’s run that back.

You must take care of yourself first. Sometimes we feel guilty for taking care of ourselves. We feel as if we are neglecting others, the same others that neglect us as well. The saying, “Do unto others as you want them to do unto you,” has been beaten to death into our subconscious, yet 89% of us are missing the reciprocal component. You are doing good to others but are they returning the favor?

Go ahead, I’ll give you some time to think about that….

Keep going, because you owe it to yourself. You can’t let up right now. I know you are fatigued. I know you are fed up. I know you feel discouraged. I know you want more out of life right now. I know you feel neglected. I know you need a nap too many. I know your heart hurts. I know, I know but you cannot let up.

I keep going because I desire a life that is full and abundant! Get out of your own way. Stop sleeping with your excuses. Stop wallowing in that self-doubt. Let’s start reading more, praying more, working out more – living more.

Keep going, no brakes – you got this!
