“We take care of ourselves by lightening up and not being so damn hard on ourselves.”– Cleo Wade

Are you taking care of yourself? If yes, keep doing it. But if no, what are you still waiting for? Don’t wait for anyone to take care of you. Do it yourself. Be bold. Believe in your power to do it. It doesn’t matter where you are, if you are really committed to making your life a masterpiece, you can do it. Don’t “sweat the small stuff.”

You can take care of yourself by focusing on what is important to you in your life. You can’t take care of everything, but you can take of what is important to you in your life. Don’t stress yourself over what you cannot take care of. If something is beyond your power, don’t sweat the small stuff. Just do what you can to take care of yourself.

When you are down, get back up. Focus on what makes you happy. Try to do things that help you feel better about yourself. Don’t let people treat you badly. If you want them to treat you with love and respect, you must tell them how you want them to treat you. According to Dr Phil McGraw, “We tell people how to treat us.” Treat yourself with love. Don’t let anyone put you down. When you make a mistake, don’t beat yourself up, learn from it. Do what makes sense to you. If you are okay with what you are doing, then keep doing it. It is your life.

When Is Enough Really Enough?

Henri- Frederic Amiel said, “There is no respect for others without humility in one’s self.” It takes humility to say “enough is really enough.” The question is, “When is enough really enough?”

Enough is enough when you can’t stand up for yourself anymore. Enough is enough when you can’t pursue your dreams, when you can’t pursue your goals. Enough is really enough when we can’t take care of our lives anymore. Enough is enough when no one seems to care about you. Enough is enough when you can’t sleep. Enough is enough when you can’t get anything done. Enough is enough when you are just existing. Enough is enough when you are bigger than what you are doing. Enough is enough when you are ready to move on to the next new thing.

But it takes real courage to face it. It takes courage to quit a job. It takes courage to start a new business. It takes courage to even ask your girl friend to marry you. It takes courage to do everything. Sometimes you just need to say enough is enough and be okay with your life. Because if you can’t say enough is enough, how can you focus on what is important to you? You can’t.

Before you say enough is enough, you must know why you are saying it. Let is be your own why, not other people’s whys. Love yourself enough to take a leap of faith. Love yourself enough to take risks. According to Cleo Wade, “Love yourself enough to say enough is enough when enough has become enough.” No matter where you are, what you are doing, love yourself enough to say, “enough is really enough.”
