Somerset Maugham once very aptly said, “It is a funny thing, Life. If you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it”. It is very apt in today`s world also. Very often than not, we do not care about ourselves and do not live each moment to the fullest and the best of our abilities. We settle for the 2nd best things for us. If under armor has holes, you do not bother to replace it thinking how does it matter? Who can see it? The truth is your body can feel it and you know it! It matters! Many a times, we skip meals thinking it does not matter and you have more important things to do in life. Truth is, your body needs that nourishment no matter what. No one else is going to nourish your body but you, yourself! For the world to treat you well, you need to treat yourself well! If you have no pride in yourself, chances are world will look at you in the same way.
It is said that charity begins at home. We care for the less fortunate, the needier etc which is a great quality. But remember your mind, body and soul need you first. Pamper yourself, spoil yourself a little, and enjoy life to the fullest. It is said that keep a clean home, nourish your body, pamper yourself and you will feel blessed! But, most of us do not invest time and efforts in ourselves. We are so absorbed by the outside world that we forget ourselves! Most of us feel it is a sheer waste of time to invest in your own self. Pampering yourself is vanity! Well, overdoing it might be vanity but doing something you like once in a while is important to feel good, happy and satiated in life.
It is essential to cater to our own needs also. Everything affects everything. The way you walk affects the way you talk. The way you dress affects the way you feel. The care you give to yourself will affect how you care about others. Nurturing you and feeling good about yourself is the first step towards confidence and goes a long way in fulfilling your dreams and desires. There are positive vibrations all around you. You just need to grab them and realize them. For this, first you need to have strength and confidence in yourself. Be happy to make others happy. It is thus, very rightly said, “Feel prosperous to attract prosperity”.
