Yesterday I had a very interesting conversation with my colleague.
“Ling, you seeing a therapist, the company pays for you?”
“No… I know, it’s not cheap. But it’s not that super expensive either. And I think it’s important that I invest in my own well being.”
“For my kids, I don’t mind paying, but for myself….”
“It’s simple. Take care of yourself so you can take better care of others.”
Well, that’s what we parents are guilty of sometimes, isn’t it? Honestly, besides money, the one we are often guilty of not investing enough on ourselves is also time. I know, it does take a lot of discipline to be not caught into all the other temptations & distractions in our lives, which to me too is the hardest part.
But I told myself, if I want to get better, I need to invest in myself. And I want to get better because it will make me happier. And when I am happier, I will be able to take care of others, better.
Take control. Don’t wait. Make things happen for ourselves today.
