CHECK ON YOURSELF TOO

It's good to be good to other people. It's good to be nice, to think the best about people, to check on them and find out about their well-being. But don't forget you are also someone that needs care too.

Check on others, but check on yourself too. You are also part of the wonders of the world that needs to be looked upon.

I heard of a story of a guy who wanted to submit an application, then he remembered that he had some friends who were also qualified, that met the requirements. So he sent the link to all of them. At intervals he would check on them to see whether they had submitted. He kept giving them support and acting as their coach. "If you need any help, let me know; let me know how I can be of assistance, so you won't miss the deadline", he would say. He kept on doing this for weeks until each of the people he sent the link to had submitted. Then the application closed.

The deadline came and the application closed, but he was the only one who had not submitted.

He was so obsessed about helping others that he lost sight that he too needed help.
