Achar Ke Vichar – Are you taking care of yourself?

Achar Ke Vichar – Are you taking care of yourself?

A cobbler lived in a large village and he was the only cobbler in town, so he was responsible for repairing the boots of everybody else.

However, he didn’t have time to repair his own boots.

This wasn’t a problem at first, but over time, his boots began to deteriorate and fall apart.

While he worked feverishly on the boots of everyone else, his feet got blisters and he started to limp.

His customers started to worry about him, but he reassured them that everything was ok.

However, after a few years, the cobbler’s feet were so injured that he could no longer work and no-one’s boots got repaired.

As a consequence, soon the entire town started to limp in pain, all because the cobbler never took the time to repair his own boots.

This simple principle is so often disregarded.     

If you are in a responsible position and are one of the important links in the groups survival chain and if You do not look after yourself, after a while you’ll be no good to anyone else either.                           

Your best intentions will mean nothing and you’ll be unable to do what you’re meant to do.           

This goes for leaders, social workers, teachers even parents, breadwinners and homemakers.

If you don’t take the time to care for yourself, no-one else will.

Are you taking care of yourself?
