I've thought about it long and hard and have come to the conclusion that...
There is nothing more important in this world, in your world, than you!
Okay! - Hang On A Minute... !!
(I can almost hear you yelling at me about this being self-centred and egotistical?)
The truth is, I think that humanity has become more selfish and self serving than ever!
That's not what I'm talking about here AT ALL...
In this world of crazy, fast-paced change and hard-to-keep-up-with technology, with information overload pouring in across so many social media platforms and so many people living with anxiety and depression our focus needs to shift.
What I'm saying here is that we have forgotten how to reflect on who and where we are in a healthly, balanced and empowering way. We have a responsibility to oursleves, to the people we love, and to the world, to live our best life and to make a difference in this world in our own unqiue way.
We need to be working on ourselves and supporting one another!
These wise words from Christian D Larson epitomise what I am trying to say...
I hope they inspire you too...
