Taking care of ourselves is not
always an easy task. Yes, we may
find it easy to take care of others
and tell them what they need to do
to make their lives better but what
are we doing for ourselves?
We should continually strive to be
the better person in any situation or
opportunity we may face. Whether
it be direction from a community
leader, teacher, family, friend or
even a medical professional; we
should take into consideration what
is told to us.
Though not all direction is good
direction; we must remember to use
our judgment skills we were taught
when making a final decision on
what to do. Just as easy as it may be
to advise others the most important
counsel to follow is your heart.
