Reflection
Self-Care
An empty lantern provides no light. Self-care is the fuel that allows your light to shine brightly.

एक खाली लालटेन कोई रोशनी नहीं देती। स्व-देखभाल वह ईंधन है जो आपकी रोशनी को चमकने देता है।
— अज्ञात
Why this matters:
You cannot illuminate the path for others if your own flame has gone out. Maintaining your well-being is the primary responsibility that enables all other contributions.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
यदि आपकी अपनी लौ बुझ गई है तो आप दूसरों के लिए मार्ग प्रशस्त नहीं कर सकते। अपनी भलाई बनाए रखना प्राथमिक जिम्मेदारी है जो अन्य सभी योगदानों को सक्षम बनाती है।
