PUT YOURSELF FIRST
By Julia Rabuy
Quote that inspires you.
When I am really stressed, or if I feel the pressure to be as “perfect” as possible, I think:
“In the end, the only person you need to make happy is yourself."
I tend to focus on making everyone else happy, as if I’m an extra or a secondary character in
my own personal movie. I forget that it isn’t my job to make everyone in my life happy or to fix
any problem that emerges.
I can only live my life for me.
This phrase always reminds me to stop and re-evaluate my behavior. It allows me to assess
whether my actions are benefiting me or someone else. Don't get me wrong, I never want to
only act on behalf of my own interests, but I definitely need to find the right balance between
taking care of myself and other people in my life.
