Do You Celebrate Yourself?

The thing about being a caregiver, it's a 100% volunteer workforce. I mean, there are millions and millions and millions of us doing it, but nobody's putting a gun to our head to make us do this. We've made the decision to serve. We've made the decision to do this for whatever reason. Now, we may think, well, it's my mom, I have to do it, or if it's my sister or my kid or whatever.

It still doesn't matter. The bottom line is you are choosing to serve another human being. You are choosing to care for them. And that makes you a very, very special person. And I'd like to take just a moment to celebrate that with you. That's a remarkable thing, because we live in a very self-centered world. And in this self-centered world, here you are putting yourself between a vulnerable human being and disaster, and you're doing it, and you're spending your blood, your sweat, and your treasure to do it.

And it's heartbreaking at times, but you're still doing it. And what does that say about you? Don't you think that's worth celebrating? Don't you think that's worth acknowledging? I do. And I'm proud of you. And I want you to just join with us on this course, all these things that we're offering here to equip you to stay stronger, to stay healthier, because you're worth staying stronger, and you're worth staying healthier.
