Putting your family first can be rewarding, as it can help to strengthen your relationships and create a sense of unity and connection. It can also be challenging, as it may require you to make difficult choices or give up some of your own goals or desires.

It's important to remember that everyone has their own unique journey and experiences, and it's not healthy or productive to compare yourself to others. Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on your own personal growth and development. Set your own goals and work towards them, rather than trying to measure up to someone else's achievements. It's also important to recognize and appreciate your own strengths and accomplishments. By focusing on your own journey and not comparing yourself to others, you'll be better able to achieve your own personal satisfaction and happiness.

If you're struggling to find a support system, there are many ways you can go about building one. You can seek out friends or family members who are supportive and understanding, join a club, group, or organization that shares your interests or values, or consider seeking out a mentor or coach who can offer guidance and support. Remember, it's important to have a mix of people in your support system, including those who can offer practical help as well as emotional support.

YOU HAVE: "I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no
feed"
Being grateful for what you have can have a positive impact on your mental health and overall well-being. It's easy to get caught up in a cycle of wanting more, whether it's material possessions or certain life circumstances. However, focusing on what you already have and expressing gratitude for it can help you feel more content and satisfied with your life. Gratitude can also help you cultivate positive relationships, improve your physical health, and increase your overall happiness and well-being. One way to practice gratitude is to keep a gratitude journal where you can write down a few things you're grateful for each day. You can also try sharing your gratitude with others, such as by thanking someone who has helped you or expressing appreciation for someone's kindness or support. Remember, it's important to be genuine when expressing gratitude and to focus on the things that truly matter to you.

MOVE ON: Stop getting stuck in your past. Learn from your past to make a better
future.
Accepting your past and moving on can be challenging, but it's an important step towards personal growth and development. It's natural to have regrets or wish that certain things had gone differently in your past, but dwelling on the past can prevent you from moving forward. Instead, try to focus on the present and work towards building a better future for yourself. This might involve learning from your past mistakes and using those lessons to make positive changes in your life. It can also be helpful to seek out support, whether it's from friends, family, or a therapist. They can help you process your emotions and work through any challenges you're facing. Remember, it's okay to take your time and be kind to yourself as you work through your past and move forward. It's also important to recognize that everyone makes mistakes and that it's possible to learn and grow from them.
The present is the only
place you can:

-Live
-Love
Life is short. Don't waste it.

To respect yourself, try to be mindful of your thoughts and beliefs about yourself, and work to challenge any negative or self-defeating ones. It can also be helpful to set goals and work towards them, and to engage in activities that help you feel good about yourself. Remember, it's important to be patient and kind to yourself, and to recognize that you are worthy of respect, just as you are.
