Long before we even lose our lives, we lose our souls. Tragic but true. Some carry on–willing to make the sacrifices, putting what is perceived as important before anything else. Some tread into the dark–wasting moments of grace, letting themselves suffer from their own decisions or the other’s domination. Some continue to love, give too much, and not leave even a little love for themselves. Joanne Crisner
About This Quote

When we are young, we are often taught that to be happy, we need to love others, be nice, and sacrifice for the good of others. We are told that if we don’t do these things, then we will be happy. However, this isn’t necessarily true. Many people choose not to love themselves because they believe that if they love themselves they will no longer be able to sacrifice for the good of others.

The truth is that when you love yourself, you can sacrifice for the good of others without any reservations. Instead of feeling guilty about taking care of yourself, you can feel confident in your strength and self-worth. When you love yourself, you can truly love others.
