“Self-care isn’t selfish.” It is okay to make time for yourself. Don’t feel guilty about it. You have been doing it for other people. Why can’t you make time just to be yourself? Why can’t make time just to connect with yourself? Why can’t you make time to build a strong relationship with yourself? You need it. Your body needs it. Your heart and soul need it. Again, “Self-care isn’t selfish.”

Self-care, according to Joanna Platt, “Is anything you do that helps you build, maintain, and strengthen your relationships with yourself.” She is right. So, what are you doing to maintain your energy? What are you doing to build a solid relationship with yourself? You can anything that works for you. You don’t have to break your bank account to care for yourself. Just pick something that works for you. You can read, take a walk, sing, yoga, meditate, or write. Again, do what works for you. But make sure you are doing something to keep yourself whole. If you do, you can help other people.

I am making peace with myself.

Happiness comes from embracing your life. It doesn’t come from hiding yourself, your life. Don’t hide yourself from success. Open yourself to it. If you want good things, you must stay where good things are happening. If not, you will miss them.

If you want light, don’t stay in the dark. You must get out of where you are hiding. Go out there and meet positive people. Go out there and meet happy people. Happy people will not come to you; you must go out and meet them. They are waiting for you. On the contrary, unhappy people are waiting for you to come and make them happy.

If you isolate yourself, you are isolating your growth. You are isolating your life. You are isolating your progress. And most importantly, you are hurting yourself. You are hurting people, because you have missed the opportunity to increase your happiness.

Happiness is everywhere. Every minute is an opportunity for you to connect with positive people. Every day is an opportunity for you to share your love, your happiness. Every day is an opportunity for you to make a difference in your life. Now is an opportunity to change the world. You can! You have what it takes to do it. So don’t waste it.

In order to be happy, you must go out and search for your spot. Position yourself where happy people can see you. Sell yourself to the right people. Work on the right project. Don’t sell yourself short. You are better than you think. Pursue your greatness, not your weakness. According to Robert Fulghum, “Don’t sell yourself short. You may never have proof of your importance, but you are more important than you think.” In other words, if you want to achieve greatness in your life, you must NOT settle for less. Never!
