Chiseling The Masterpiece That Is Your Body (And Life) Involves…
The best contribution I can give to myself and the world at large is to be at my best.
My body, and my life in general, is my masterpiece. It is what I was given to be proud of. And I believe the investment that comes with valuing, cherishing, and caring for this masterpiece is worthwhile, even if that investment comes with feeling out of breath and ready to fall asleep on my yoga mat.
Many ladies view their families as their greatest masterpiece. They see no issue in neglecting themselves to pour their entire life force into their husbands and children. And I say good for them.
On the other hand, making the intentional decision to recycle any energy I expend back into myself is considered vain, selfish, childish, and even masculine by society’s judgments. But I believe that the best contribution I can give to myself and the world at large is to be at my best, not to sacrifice myself so that my loved ones can be at their best. Different strokes for different folks!
