I can find inspiration in the strangest of places. The Lego Movie, for instance. One of the lines that keeps repeating in my head is "embrace what is special about you".
I've been pondering this since the movie and I am blessed to be generous, loyal and kind. I consider myself to be lucky in that I m able to give selflessly to others. I have learned over the last decade or so how to keep this in check, though, as giving too much to others and not to yourself is unhealthy. While it is nice to be nice, it is important to look after yourself first. Respect yourself. Because without looking after yourself, you are going to be useless to everyone else. You cannot give endlessly. It is important to give to yourself first (within reason) and it has taken me a very long time to learn that. I am still working on finding the right balance with this but I am much closer than I was even six months ago.
