I’ve heard so many people say that they are putting themselves in a better position, in order to do or be something more for someone else.

Whether that be in order to live up to the expectations of parents, or the community, or a spouse. Or for the sake of being able to provide or better provide for children or family. Often it is for the benefit of being better connected to the circles or surroundings that satisfy our egos; Getting more access to the in-crowds or upper classes of society, so as to ingratiate ourselves with the popular or accepted amongst us.

And so many other reasons.

Reasons that we come up with in order to satisfy or justify these thoughts/words/feelings of ours.

None of it is as important as YOU.

You owe YOU your getting YOU together. That’s who is most important, who benefits the greatest, and who ultimately pays the price of you not being in the position that is “best” for you. YOU.

It is time for you to do what YOU need to do, FOR YOU! Not because of what anyone outside of you may benefit from that version of you, but because YOU need the benefit of what the healed, happy, and whole YOU will be. FOR YOU.

YOU OWE YOURSELF that.

And now is the time.
