Think of others, before yourself, and you will be happier
I do think that being taking care of others makes a person feel good in themselves when they genuine and unconditional about it.,,,I think one has to take care of themselves first in order to be there for others,I think when a person is feeling down or just not feeling good in themselves to distract them from themselves it's good to be of help to someone,however big or small,what we class as small might be of huge benefit to another.

Depends, what your trying to change. Living in the now, being thankful for today is a good start. Treat people how you would like to be treated.

I agree totally with this, I spent years always putting others first and you can get taken advantage off, I wouldnt say I put myself first all the time, but I do more for myself, son is number one priority and will always come first, I am much happier in myself these days

EVERY THING CHANGES IN TIMEToo much buzz around 'better-ment', "be the best you can be", 'raise your game', 'bringing your 'A' game to the table'....
Whatever happend to be yourself?....
The best life tools are the ones our parents instilled in us, princples, morals and a sense of fairplay....
Look at the lack of parenting in todays society, and im not singling out one section of society, and its pretty clear that the way things are is at odds with the way things could do with being....
Family time has been reduced to people passing on the stairs 'on their way out to do something', kids heads buried in media devices, parents glued to TV's, dinners in the microwave or out of a plastic package, the almost 'enforced' family holiday, and a sense of dis-connection within the family unit that permiates society...look at the people on the streets, detached from each other in their own little 'entertainment bubbles'....It appears thats the detent for modern society, and the opposite, is when these social introverts are forced into being 'the best they can be' for their working day, a time and a place where they have to excell in order to meet the needs of the people for whom they work...is one at odd with the other?, i should say so....unfortunately, you cant make a silk purse out of a sow ear, and just about any visit to 'shop-land' will show how ill equipped common folk are with being 'their best'....
Do I sound like a person with a superiority complex?, i probably do, but im not....I am one of the 'common people', one of the 'little people' you hear about, not an achiever in the real sense, not a person with high ambitions, but i did have one thing, parents who took the time to instill a sense of what was right and what was fair, and ,that has seen me through since i learnt to understand the meaning of simple concepts....Being who we are is probably 'our best', and if were lucky enough to have had good parents and roll models, that will in itself stand us in good stead, this i believe to be a fair statement as a whole, but sometimes even good parenting produces psychopaths and sociopaths.....
