Above All Else

Above All Else  
For many of us, our minds start running before we have had a chance to take one step out of bed.
And to make matters more complicated, we play many roles depending on the people we are spending our time with.
 
As the day progresses, and we interact with our friends, colleagues, and families; much of our energy can be exhausted, before we have even had the opportunity to do for ourselves.
 
Many of us naturally feel the need to be there for all those that surround us, but may not realize the toll it takes not only on our time, but on our bodies as a whole.
 
We are aware that our moods are affected by our  environment; not only the place we are at, physically, but those who we include in this space.
 
In order to maintain balance, we must, above all else, be true to ourselves, and true to what it is that we need in our life that will maintain harmony and true love.
 
Then, and only then, can you give enough without going
above and beyond what your body can handle,
allowing you to still have a handle on life.
