I read an article or quote this morning that talked about
when people are asked to list 10 things they love people seldom listed
themselves. I thought this was interesting. Though we can all sit and think
that we have 10 things/people/priorities/etc that are way more important than
ourselves, we should sit and think about how it feels to not include ourselves in
that list. How would you feel if your spouse/child/parent/sibling/etc did not
include you in that list? Not great I bet.
Why is it any different when you don’t include
yourself in your own same list?
I’ve gone through times in my life that I would never have
even thought about including myself in a list of things that I loved. But the
article or quote made me take a double take. It makes me look at things a
little differently and understand more about people. No wonder so many people just
go through the motions of work, home life, etc each day.
I wish I would have bookmarked it or printed it out, but I
was moving around too fast this morning to think about that. But the statement
has stayed with me all day.
What does it mean to you? Does it shift your mind a little
or make you look at certain things differently?
Time to take a break and do something nice for yourself :)
