When you take care of yourself first, you’re not a burden to anyone. You’re not the kind of person who tries to get others to do what you want them to do instead of what they want to do. Self-reliance not only makes you independent, it allows you to give without expectation. Others can relax and enjoy being around you because they know there’s no obligation. It’s ironic, but when you don’t expect others to care for you, they actually want to. The biggest benefit you get from being self-sufficient is that you enjoy being…
With you.
