COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Self care is an idea that I have seen circulating in the culture for a while now, and I have mixed feelings about it. It seems to variously have aspects of self focus and indulgence, but obviously some level of self care is important. One helpful perspective I have been reflecting on is to center on the idea that everything I give to someone else is ultimately a gift of myself. Thus, if I want to give to others well, then the raw material, myself, needs to be quality. If I give of myself in a way that is self destructive, then I am diminishing the total I can eventually give. But if I am always reinvesting my gains, then no one benefits from my growth, so my efforts are pointless. Focusing on this goal provides a good measuring stick to evaluate whether I have fallen into selfish pursuits. Remember that “Love your neighbor as yourself” is posed as an equality. You cannot properly do one side of the equation without the other, both sides increase and decrease together.

MOLESKIN:
Kickflip made a good observation about the way this ties into the QSource. You have to get yourself right before you can Live right.
