Put the mask on yourself first

2006 was an incredibly hard year for me, and 2007 so far has continued the trend. It's been a most challenging period, but also one of phenomenal personal growth for me.

You know when in planes they talk about what to do if the plane were to go down....they always say "put the oxygen mask on yourself first" and then tend to others. Life works the same way, and there are instances where you and the people around you are going to go down.

New Rule: Put the mask on yourself first. Help yourself so that you can help others. A fucked-up you is a useless you. It's important to step back, gain some perspective and give yourself whatever you need so that you can help those around you.


Readers: We started this blog today, and we invite you to share your insights and New Rules with us.
