The first and foremost thing that a person can do for himself/herself is to be good to himself. Every individual on this earth has their own specific place and value. This value is not given or achieved with respect to or taking into consideration the other person. In spite of this value is prioritized by your behavior towards you. You not only need to be good to others but good to yourself too. We would only be able to behave well with others when we treat ourselves with the best possible things. You not only have to establish a relationship with others but with yourself too. People who themselves are happy to create a positive and healthy environment nearby them. This happiness should always not be borrowed but most of the time the happiness should be because you are good to yourself.
