  Speaker 1: Advice. Hellolololo Allo. It's Robshooter from the Naughty but Nice Podcast,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and we're here today to do a special bonus edition,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: our weekend edition of our show. So as well as
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: being a columnist, a reporter, a columnist, I'm also a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: best selling author, and today our show is going to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: focus on that. Just for ten minutes or so, We're
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: going to jump into a subject that I think we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: all need to talk about think about much more often,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: which is who is the most important person in your life?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Let me cut to the chase and give you the answer.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: It's you. It's impossible to treat anyone else like they
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: are important until you believe that you are are important.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Only when you value yourself can you understand that your
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: opinions actually do matter the most. Nobody else is yours.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Once you know how important your opinions are, you're going
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to be much more careful sharing them with yourself and others.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Start talking to yourself like you are the most important
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: person in your life because you are. I wish this
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: is a gift I could give out or wrapped up
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in a beautiful red bow, handed out to people on
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: their birthdays and holidays, But that is not how this works.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Believing that you are important has to start with you,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: nobody else. I can't give you this as a gift.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I can't give it anybody else as a gift. But
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I can give it to myself and so you. And
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: this actually is not such a bad thing because it
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: puts the power into your hands rather than anybody else's.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You and only you can walk the long, lonely road
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to success. It is a lonely road because you, my friends,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: have to do it just like me, by yourself. Beyonce
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: said the following quote. Your self worth is determined by you.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: You don't have to depend on someone else telling you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: who you are. Truth. I started this journey feeling about
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: as worthless as anybody possibly could feel, but step after step,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: reminding myself along the way, somewhat unconvincingly at first that
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I mattered led me to a better place. I realized
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that I was running a marathon that would ultimately take
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a lifetime to finish. Because learning that you are important
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: isn't easy. For years, we've been taught the opposite. I know.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I had to the point where most of us feel
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: like it is selfish to put ourselves first. This is
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a bad habit, that's all. It is a bad habit.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It's not the truth. It's a bad habit that we
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: all need to break, because the truth is that each
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and every one of us is important enough to do
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: whatever it takes to take care of ourselves. The Ola
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Davis said quote, we are usually caretakers of everyone except
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: for ourselves. If I didn't take care of myself and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I'm taking care of my daughters or my husband, then
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I'm running on fumes. I have nothing left, nothing left
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to give. But when I take the time to take
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: care of myself, I feel like I can face life
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: with a renewed vigor and nude passion. Here here Veola.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: When you live your life like you are the most
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: important person in it, guilty pleasures vanish pof you will
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: never feel guilty or embarrassed ever again to do something
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that you really enjoy. Imagine valuing yourself so much that
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you never need to apologize for who you are ever again,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: understanding that you never had anything to be sorry for.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Once you believe that you are important, you will be
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: free to do the things that bring you pleasure more often,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: postponing even the smallest of things that make you happy
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: will be a thing of the past. It is not
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: arrogant and it is not selfish to know that you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: are the most important person in your life. This does
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: not diminish the importance of all the other people with
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: whom we share our lives, including family, friends, co workers,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and even pets. They're important, but you are more important.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: In order for you to treat others with the care
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and respect that they deserve, you have to start caring
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and respecting yourself first. Remember that loving others is a choice, However,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: it's not an option when it comes to loving yourself.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Acknowledging that you are the most important person in your
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: life is the ultimate selfless act. You owe it to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: yourself to breathe, relax, and take the time to remember
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that you are important. No one can make you feel
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: unimportant without your consent to stop allowing unimportant people to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: make you feel unimportant. You are the boss of your life,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: so be the boss you always is wanted to have.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: This begins with taking responsibility for each and every decision
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: every day that you make and being the important force
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of good in your life and the lives of others.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You're much further along on this journey than you think,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I promise you, and the Finnish line is not as
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: far away as what you might imagine. You can do
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: this because you are important. Harrison Forward said quote, May
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the Force be with you is charming, but it's not important.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: What's important is that you become the force for yourself
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and for other people. The most important person in your
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: life is you. Hey, thank you so much for listening
