You cannot be successful and help others if you are sleep deprived, malnourished, or out of shape. Take care of yourself. Find a balance and don’t let go of what defines you.

“Wise words. I have to remind myself sometimes to put myself first. Not in an arrogant sense mind you. By putting yourself first you will become more aware in how you can make yourself better, healthier, in body and in spirit. Reflect in what you are setting out to do and think of how your actions will affect your decision in pursuing what you are planning on doing.”

I'm a "Thinking Introvert." The quiz was interesting and purely straightforward, but enjoyable. Thanks.

I’m realizing more and more through the adventures of life that “happiness” truly isn’t a destination, but rather a way of traveling; a by-product of living a meaningful life and appreciating everything we encounter along our path. When we live with purpose and gratitude, we become an example to those around us. #travelfreely #livefully #itisachoice #bethechange #deployyourbest #setanexample #paths #thesimplepleasures #enjoyit #traveloften (at Alum Cave Trail)

However you celebrate Valentine's this year, find time to love yourself first and foremost. Don’t be selfish, narcissistic, or completely obsessed with yourself, but be self-full. Accept yourself, love yourself, be thrilled by the fact that you are perfectly created with a purpose. You are incomparable. Step into wholeness within yourself and all else will fall into place. Love is possible only when there is a deep acceptance of oneself that could lead to the acceptance of another and potentially lay the foundation of a better world. Acceptance creates the milieu in which love grows, the soil in which love blooms.
