What do you owe yourself?

You are always aware of the layers of responsibility

That you carry on your shoulders at work and for your family

You never want to let anyone down by being negligent

Of how you are perceived, you are always cognizant

In pleasing everyone you stretch yourself too thin

There is that one aspect left where you do not win-

You forget that you owe yourself something too

There are actions that you must take just for you…

*

Towards yourself, you have some obligations

You owe yourself adequate time for rest and relaxation

You owe it to yourself to be authentic in every way

You owe yourself the willingness to walk away

From a situation where you are asked to

Compromise your ethical stance, your moral values

You owe yourself the ability to say no to a request without

Explaining yourself if you have any doubt..

*

You are trying to be diligent in everything you do

Just don’t forget that you are a priority too..
