Feeling stuck? It's not because you don’t know what to do next. It's because you're trying to pour from an empty cup. You're exhausted from all the decisions, choices, and ideas aimed at making others' lives easier. No wonder you can’t even decide on dinner.You spend your days “coaching” your team, family, and friends, leaving little bandwidth for your own projects, dreams, or vision. Eventually, you start resenting everyone around you. You do so much for them—why can’t they put you first for a change?
But here's the thing: when you don’t put yourself first, you create a pattern. They're simply emulating how you treat yourself. You can't expect anyone else to prioritize you if you don’t do it for yourself. And you can’t be mad at them for it either. You started this mess! You might believe that putting yourself first is selfish and therefore bad. But being selfish is only a negative for those who benefited from you putting yourself last. The world doesn’t benefit from you being the worst version of yourself. No one does. When you start putting yourself first, everything changes. When you start sleeping at a decent hour, eating decent meals, and working on your dreams, your spark becomes contagious. Those who love you will beam from your happiness and start emulating the right behavior, working on themselves too. There's nothing more empowering than watching someone chase their dreams. When you decide that you are your best investment, EVERYTHING changes. Isn’t it time for a change?
