Be Good to Yourself

People will come and go in your life, but the person in the mirror will always be there: so be good to yourself

Even if we know it, we sometimes forget it: in order to be there for others we first and foremost have to be there for ourselves. Like when a friend is stuck in deep emotional turmoil, and you might feel you're about to being sucked into it too. At that point you have to remember that you cannot take over your friend’s pain, she will have to work through it by herself. What you can do is listening with an open heart, let her express and see her own pain and thereby hopefully find the way through. You can be the shoulder to cry on, but you cannot cry in her place.

So we have to take good care of ourselves in order to be able to care for others. We first have to deal with and accept our own emotional issues. We have to be good to ourselves
