Priorities are something that we set for ourselves or sometimes even people may set priorities for us, which is wrong, we should never give anyone control of our life.

Self-development only happens when you put yourself first, develop your skills, enhance yourself, the day you do that you put yourself first you will start losing people, even the closest people of your life. But, don't feel bad about it because in the end what matters is your career and your mental peace, do whatever it takes to put yourself first. It is not selfish when you look after yourself and your mental wellbeing.
Sometimes we feel that we would live for others help them when in need, keep them above us, and love them above us. But do we ever think that we are doing good to others and for others but doing bad to ourselves?
Not every time can we look after others, our mental health, our wellbeing is also important to live a healthy life and stable life. We often talk about our illness that we have fever, cold, headache, but why can't we talk about how we feel? Isn't mental wellbeing important?
Keeping yourself above everyone, even family, or close friends is necessary at times, for your growth and not everyone is going to support you in your journey some are just waiting to have put a stab on your back. People including your family and close friends may call you selfish but let me tell you, you're not being selfish by putting yourself first, putting your career first even if you are a married woman... Who says after marriage your career ends. It's all about priorities, it's all about what and how you are willing to do things and live your life.
Nobody has the right to decide what is right or wrong for you except yourself, not even your parents because only you know what is right for you, these people will keep saying but you always have to have the strength to listen to your heart and put yourself first as an individual you have to grow in life...
Set your priorities straight and set yourself straight, rest let the world keep barking and call you selfish, Because it is necessary, no one is going to look after you...make your dreams yours and go behind chasing them.
