The Rocco Effect - You Come First

I’m giving you permission to take care of yourself first, so you can do a better job of being generous in the long run. - Scott Adams 

We often wear ourselves down, taking care of others, until we make ourselves sick.  When we're sick we're of no use to anyone, in fact we then become a burden.  Others then need to take care of us, until we are fit again. 

We should take care of ourselves first, then help others.  If we're fit and happy we'll be in a much better shape to offer help, we won't experience burn out or make ourselves sick, plus we make progress everyday.

Help other, but don't put others health, before your own.  Ask for help, but take steps to avoid burnout.
