Sometimes we lose ourselves when we live life only to please others. When the happiness and comfort of others come before our own, it may lead to regrets. We let others guide us on our journey because we are too busy trying to support them on theirs. If we were to stop and ask ourselves what is our heart's desire, the answer may not come as quickly as we would think. It's not that we don't have any desires, but it's been so long since we've thought about ourselves that we may not recall what they were. Our lives become so entwined with those we love, that it is difficult to separate their wants and needs from our own. Although we care for those we love, to lose ourselves in the process is dangerous. At some point in our life, when we reflect upon the choices we have made, hopefully they were made with good intentions for all. Our life is about treating ourselves, as well as, others with compassion. Today, think about all that you do for everyone, then do one of those things for yourself. You have the ability to do so much, so begin by caring for yourself as much as you care for those you love. Take pleasure in walking on your own path.
Sometimes we don't go where we want by sitting in the back seat...
(This weekend, I followed. Although I wasn't able to do as much as I would have liked, I was okay because this trip was about family. It was crazy, but what would I expect with 3 grown children traveling over 2 hours together. This trip wasn't about me, but pleasuring others. Tomorrow I'll be traveling by myself, that's when it'll be my time for pleasure.)
