Be a little Selfish: You have to remember that those you serve rely on you build them up and help them more than just physically and if you don't take care of yourself physically and emotionally you will not be able to serve them to your full potential. Your pleasure from helping may turn into a burden and that is not healthy for you or your patients. Best of luck.
