Success is important to strive for — but so is self-love. You can’t become so obsessed with the idea of making something of yourself that you forget the importance of being there for yourself. You have to start taking better care of your mind and body, because if you make burning out a habit, then there’s going to be a day when you have a hard time coming back from your breakdown. There’s going to be a day when you hurt yourself worse than you planned.

Just pay attention — pay attention to the things that make your heart race, to the ways you could be kinder to yourself, to the unique parts of who you are that make you such a force in this world. Pay attention, and embrace every aspect of your journey, because when you do, when you set that example — you not only inspire your world, but the world around you as well.
