Hello Lovely Read friends!
Hope you are all doing fine.
I was browsing my Facebook photos looking for a picture that I can use for the Shadow hunters challenge when I suddenly thoughts of some things that I have never done. It started with I should have taken more photos without me and my friends in the photo but of course, capturing and documenting the fun that we had while on that tour is also special so I think that one thought is a bit absurd.
Think its because I can use more photos and make more stories with it if I did take picture of the places without us in it but seeing those lovely smiles on our faces takes me back to the realization of the memories that I had there with my friends is more important than the photos that I can use for my stories.
I've been thinking a lot of things lately.
Things that I wanted to do and things that I should do for myself, things that I should also do for my business. Things that I've been forgetting to do and a lot more.
These are my sponsors that I hope will never get tired supporting me. They have wonderful articles that you'll love reading. Check them out!
I was watching Encounter yesterday when one of the scenes hit me. This is what exactly one of the actors says "I thought I worked harder than anybody else, but no one was happy. Not you, not your mother, and not even me. I know you always think of the people around you first. But at the end of the day, you need to look after yourself first. Can you really tell me you can go on living like this your whole life?"
This scene really happens in the real life. We worked harder to the point that we spend more time at work than the time that we are spending with our loved ones. We spend more time working than we spend more time taking care of ourselves. We look after the people around us and prioritize their needs before our needs. Forgetting that we should also think of ourselves. Forgetting that we should also make ourselves happy.
We keep on sacrificing for the things that our loved ones need. We keep on sacrificing our health just to finish the loads of work that were given to us because that is our responsibility. But is it really worth it to sacrifice our own happiness and our own health? Is it really okay to forget our well-being just to deliver what is expected from us?
Why can't we just live looking after ourselves? Why can't we prioritize our health over our work? Yes, we need to earn for our daily expenses, for our family but this shouldn't be the reason why we forget to look after ourselves. This shouldn't be the reason why we let our health suffer just to deliver what is expected of us. We don't have to sacrifice our own health for the growth of the company that we are working for. We don't have to sacrifice our own happiness to make the people around us happy or will end up empty too.
Let us not wait for the time that we will regret that we didn't take care of ourselves, let's not wait for the time that we will say if only I listen to my body. It is not selfish to think about yourself there are times that I, Myself or Me, is more important than anybody else.
This is also a reminder for me. #notetoself

It is very sad to realize that throughout our lives we have spent more time at our job than with our family and our health.
