Think about being on an airplane—they tell you to put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others. But a lot of us do the opposite. We’re so busy taking care of everyone else that we’re left breathless, drained, and lifeless. That’s not anyone else’s fault but ours. I don’t live like that anymore. If other men want to keep putting themselves last, that’s their choice. But I believe you can’t be great if you’re always on the back burner. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Self-prioritization isn’t bad—it’s essential. The best, most confident version of yourself is what the people in your life actually need.
