Secure Your Own Oxygen Mask Before Assisting Others

Sometimes we can’t move forward in our lives because we are pulling everyone else along. It seems like we just can’t get any momentum but the truth is we haven’t learned to say “no” so we can make room for the real yeses in our lives. We are so busy trying to please, appease and accommodate others that we do not know how to take the next steps that we need to on our path. If you don’t secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others, you will at some point run out of oxygen. Take the time to reflect on yourself and your needs, spend some time, even a little, focused on you. You will see how this in the long run benefits all those you come into contact with. By walking your path, you encourage others to do the same.
