I have observed in life that majority of us are willing to help our fellow human beings especially when they are in difficulties or problems, this behaviour is so natural to us.

A close look at our life is that we give so much to our family, friends, colleagues at work and neighbours, we give so much and willing to give more if requested.

Many of us tend to get tired, sick and worried and remain helpless in the process of trying to make other people comfortable, we have heard of story of people who gave much to their community, friends and in the process get sick and develop tragic sickness that will affect their life.

Being generous is good, but this act of service to humanity that will rob us of peace of mind can be avoided by taking care and satisfying ourselves first, everything we are doing to our fellow human being should be moderate and not at expense of our own life. The key to living a life of service and generosity is to make self-care our first priority. This means doing what nurtures us; resting, caring for our bodies and souls, making ourselves happy. Our self care then becomes the foundation on which we build our service to humanity.
