Summary

This quote serves as a reminder to prioritize self-care and personal well-being. While having empathy and compassion for others is important, it shouldn't come at the cost of neglecting oneself.

In order to truly be of help and support to others, it is essential to prioritize and maintain one's own physical, mental, and emotional health. Only when we are whole and healthy ourselves can we effectively contribute to the well-being of others.
