It’s Time to Start Thinking for Yourself
We always hear from people no matter what the situation is, we should always be ready and we must face it firmly. But imagine, when this could happen? Is it possible when you dedicate your whole life to someone else?
We always feel and are taught to help others, be benevolent, have a helpful disposition and this is also true, after all a good person is one who helps others. But in all this stuff and things, there is one thing that we often forget, you yourself are more important than anything in the world. You must have heard the proverb “charity begins at home”, in this world, home starts from us i.e., our mind, our body, and our surroundings. Today, in this article I am talking about ourselves. You may find this saying counterintuitive, after all, it should not be said that you should love others as you love yourself but it is certainly a general expression. This is contrary to our purpose because often we are less able to care for ourselves and better at caring for others. This is because we are often more aware of our shortcomings and this awareness can lead to self-hate.
Today I am talking about chaos and orders. When people choose to help others, they have a selfless desire that often exceeds the expected norm of society. Some people are always biting more than they can chew and such people way-down themselves with unnecessary and accessible burdens. But when we talk about self-destruction or self-doubt, it is important that we know the reasons as well. As we turn our attention to those right reasons, whom we consider inferior to ourselves. We become convinced that we don’t deserve self-care, kindness, and positivity. Take an example, people will give pills to save their dog but when they want to do it for themselves, they will refuse.
You need to think about your future. If I was taking care of myself properly, then how would my life look, which career would give us a surprise and would make me productive and helpful. To understand this better, we can take the example of Atomic Habit, you have to design a system for yourself. To think about yourself, to make yourself realize what goals you have set in your life, and what are you doing to achieve them? If there is no system designed to achieve that goal, then hurry up. You don’t have to wait for others to achieve your goals. You have to do it yourself; you have to think for yourself. So, Stop waiting.
