Before you save the world, make sure your own house is in order.

About This Quote

We all have a tendency to think that we can fix everything in the world. That we can take on the world and save the day, even when we’re not entirely sure how. But there’s a big difference between helping someone else and fixing your own problems. It’s OK to help others when you’re not the one who needs the help, but it’s important to make sure your own life is in order before you start trying to fix everyone else’s. Stress is a major killer, and it’s easy to get caught up in other people’s struggles, but it’s important to take care of yourself first.
