OK, OK…so TECHNICALLY it's Tuesday but I wanted to still get this first "Meditate on This" post in this week.
This weeks' quote is from the Buddha and states, "You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire Universe, deserve your love and attention".
Indeed, in our daily lives we focus so much on making others happy we often neglect our Selves. Now that doesn't mean that you wake up in the morning, flip everyone the bird and shout to the roof tops "Screw you! It's about ME now!" On the contrary, you put yourself first so that you may attend to that can use your help.
Think about it for a second. How effective can a mother be to her child if she is sick? She must nurse herself back to health enough to be able to take care of her little one's needs. Similarly, how much more effective would we be if we took time each day to nurture our inner selves before attempting to engage the world at large?
I encourage each of you to take time each day in whatever way you see fit to truly get in touch with your Self and THEN tackle your day to day activities. Let me know how it goes!
