RE: 5000th Post : Positive Reflections: What Is Holding You Back From Achieving Your Dreams? Put Your Answers In The Comments Section And All Answers Will Be Up-Voted.
Congratulations on 5000 posts!! Good for you!!
To answer your question. What is holding me back at times is that I am saying yes to too many things. Sometimes, I see that something needs to be done. I know that I can do it and that it is good for the community, family, friend, or (insert various options here) - so, I do it.
But that is not always what is best for me or might take the time I wanted to spend on my own goals.
I had to learn to say no. Yes, it might be a good thing to do, but I can't save the world single-handedly and have to say yes to me and my needs as well.
Finding that balance is not always easy.
Sometimes we have to put ourselves first and that is not being selfish. And as you rightly said there have to a balance and sometimes there are trade-off as well. Having said that, whatever good that you are doing to the community will also go back to you eventually. Cheers.
Yes, you are right. It does come back - sometimes in ways we can't foresee. All good. And yes, self-care is not selfish. It took me a long time to really step into that.
Self care is very important. I agree with what you say. Do continue doing good.
Thank you and I will :) You too!!! Take good care.
You take care too and have a great day.
