They give a shot to save the world.

Soft hearts have a hard time taking care of themselves because they are too busy worrying about others.

They feel funny taking time for themselves when they could be doing something to help others.

They could be running errands for a friend.

They could be covering a shift for a coworker.

They could be putting in extra hours to help out their boss.

The list goes on and on.

But theres more to it than that.

They feel like they havent earned it.

They feel like others need it more.

It makes them uncomfortable when the roles are reversed.

They would rather be wrapping a present than unwrapping a present.

They would rather be fulfilling a favor than requesting a favor.

Maybe even more so, because they treat the world with so much kindness.

They see the best in everyone.

These people are always there for anyone who needs them.

But they need to remember its important to be there forthemselves,too.

They need to remember that its not selfish to take care of themselves.

Its not selfish to put themselves first for a change.
