Indulge Yourself !
Its the Holiday season. Festivals and cherished traditions , beautiful music, bright lights and love all around. what a beautiful time of the year.
Most often the intended peace and joy of this season are compramised by the riddling equation of daily living. Money matters increase tension, frantic rush to stay on the target dates, beauty fights with your loved ones , all this self imposed intricacies only create and add to the existing anxieties.
If you are too busy to be kind to yourself You are doing a dis-service to yourself, your family and everyone around you.
Gift Yourself! Indulge Yourself! Love Yourself!
Isn't indulgence harmful? Dont self-indulgent peopl neglect important responsibilities? Werent we taught that being selfish is wrong?
Be Selfish ! Love yourself ! The more you love yourself, the more you will love the people around you.This will make you become a positive role model for others. By trully enjoying your own company, people will soon begin to enjoy your company.
There is some wisdom somewhere within all this self indulgence. If you dont ensure your own happiness first, you endanger the happiness of the people around you.

The last line sounds very familiar! That's what I have always been saying, since as long as I can remember.
So what have you done lately to indulge yourself? :) Spill the beans.
Yea, tell us Sree - what have u been upto??? :)
Being selfish has been misintepreted by people as a negative thing. I would define it as simply taking extra care of oneself and that for sure is definately not a bad thing.
"{"The Art of Selfishness" is quite an interesting book; a number one bestseller by psychiatrist David Seabury. Seabury reduces his ideas to two basic principles, which help to organize his thinking. The first is: "Never compromise yourself" Means, "never surrender your judgment or your authentic needs."
The second is: "No ego satisfactions". In Seabury's context, it means: no spite, no self-aggrandizement, no martyrdom etc...}"
I have been travelling and seeing the horizon from its many different angles. from top the pikes peak in colorado springs, from ocean banks on the sands at laguna beach, on the dusty roads of midland,tx , atop the snow clad peaks of salt lake city , along the amish country side in pennsylvania, from the crowded roads in atlantic city, above the concrete jungle of pheonix , between the high rises of manhattan and best of all the horizon i see in my dreams with the ones i love close to me.
:-) I read this when you first left the comment on my blog. I returned today to read it peacefully. I couldn't agree with you more..how can you respect other is there is no self-respect to begin with? Same goes for love (as long as it doesn't end up in a Narcissistic love for oneself!)...
Hey - bon voyage. I hope you discover all your dreasm and realise them on this grand journey of life!
In advance : HAPPY DIWALI!
