Let’s face it… somewhere along our journey in this life, we often loose a part of us that we hold dear. This loss is sometimes temporary; however, it is often permanent.  Sometimes it’s our sense of PEACE! Other times, we forget what it once felt like to feel JOY.  Sometimes we seem to lose the PASSION in our marriages, or worse, for life itself!   Why is that?  Is it that we have truly forgotten?  Have we truly lost the ability to feel JOY, or LOVE?

In today’s world, the unfortunate truth is that we have been taught to always put other people before ourselves. Our husbands, kids, wives, parents, and friends all come before us, right?  To say otherwise sounds incredibly selfish, doesn’t it?  Being that this is a truly noble sentiment, and shows the value in serving others, there is a serious problem with this concept. We have placed so much importance on putting others before ourselves, that we tend to neglect ourselves all together! It is truly honorable and noble to think of others and to not be selfish, but I submit to you, that neglecting ourselves, is the true definition of selfishness. We MUST strike a balance between looking out for everyone else and taking care of ourselves at the same time.

Let me explain….

Have you ever ridden on an airplane? You know that speech that has become all too familiar?  Do you remember the part of the speech where the flight attendant says… “Please ensure that you put on YOUR oxygen mask BEFORE you assist anyone else?”  Why do you think that is?  You guessed it!  If you are passed out from lack of oxygen, how can you help those around you?  Why is it that during a brief flight we are given permission to focus on ourselves, yet we don’t give ourselves permission, and neglect ourselves for our entire life?

The statistics do not lie! Families are falling apart; individual self-esteem is at an all-time low! Suicides are at an all-time high! The divorce rate in the United States is over 50% as of 2016.

“Before we work together, you have to get clear on what your outcomes are. What is it that you want and WHEN do you want it? The road named “Someday” leads to a town named “Never Going to Happen!”  – Guy Michaels
