Selfless vs. Health

Watched Selfless with Ryan Reynolds tonight with my older boys, great movie. Ryan def has my vote for sexiest man alive. Made me think how the only way to be selfless is to take care of yourself first. You can't give towards others unless you are in good health: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, & financially. Seriously, if you want to love others unconditionally or be unconditionally loved you have to understand that you can't take anything personally. You can't be offended, everyone in life has a journey & we must choose to accept that. Otherwise, you are not emotionally or mentally healthy to be selfless. Selfless acts require sacrifice of judgmental thoughts. You physically or financially can't help someone unless you are strong enough in that realm. You get my drift, right.....choose health by choosing to love yourself as you love others. Take time out alone to get grounded with the beauty of the earth, to revive the soul, revel in God's adoration over you. Read to nourish the mind, feed your thoughts, find mentors that are examples of what you crave to be. Seek counsel as you reflect on emotions because emotions are temporary, they can misguide you. Make your beliefs & faith strong so you will be steadfast and not tossed by the wind or waves. Eat nutritious so the body and mind won't be weak. Stay fit so that you may be able to always do what you love. Work, so the finances are available to not just survive yet, to live successfully!
