“WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR WELLBEING?”

We usually want to wait until we are sure everything will be perfect in order to be able to continue...we try and start well so that we can continue smoothly. This is beacuse at times we are afraid of commitment, until we commit we can always change our minds and many times we fear failure; we reason with ourselves, "what if if find ourselves overwhelmed with work or important things that will interrupt our journey?"

The question is:

 “WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR WELLBEING?”

No job, no work, no other commitment, however important and compelling can be taken care of if we are not well. We cannot even give lovingly to our family members, friends and loved ones unless we HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE.

It is a simple energy exchange.

Think about the safety instructions in an aircraft, in the case of need for oxygen masks, you are always told to PUT ON YOUR MASK FIRST and then help others, including babies and children. Why? You cannot help anyone unless you are okay and a baby or small child will have difficulty in helping you put on your mask once you’ve fainted! You instead can help them and others around you.

Therefore, your wellbeing is of fundamental imporatance not simply for you but for everyone around you. When you have more, you can give more and do more GOOD in this needy world.
