Wise Spending

TODAY'S QUOTE: Yesterday is a cancelled check; Tomorrow is a promissory note; Today is the only cash you have, so spend it wisely.
Kim Lyons

Using today wisely is an investment in self that pays dividends for a lifetime. Self-awareness spotlights internal issues that may need tweaked, making higher education one of the most valuable ways to spend quality time.

Women are caregivers by upbringing and temperament, but we all too often tend other's while we ignore our own needs. When we give all to anyone, keeping little or nothing for ourselves, the fault for the burn out that is guaranteed belongs to us. Saving a healthy portion for our own consumption, insures that we don't risk losing sight of who we really are.

Labels are great, unless we define ourselves by them... daughter... wife... mother... girlfriend... caretaker... the list can be overwhelming. We wear many hats, but a hat has very little to do with more than covering our head. Nobody sane would dress only their head and leave the rest unadorned.

Respecting self is vital. Feeding the soul is mandatory. Challenging the mind, and using our heart to love ourselves first before doling it out to others. We cannot save the world, no matter how much we try, but we certainly can make our world a gentler place, and that must begin by wise spending on self. There truly is much more to go around when we invest  in our wholeness every single day.  Think about it... let it ride... then decide!!!
