Thought #1 – Self-denial.

Self-denial is often viewed as a weakness, but it takes great emotional strength to put someone else’s needs before your own. Choose strength.

Thought #2 – Me First.

It’s natural to always want to put yourself first, but doing this won’t give you satisfaction that lasts. On the other hand, living a life of service gives you a sense of fulfillment. Why not try it?

Thought #3 – Hope.

Hope can give you purpose and keep you focused on potential and possibilities.
