I recognized that the kindest thing I could do for myself was to _________ concentrating totally on “me” and instead try to be _________ to others. So I stayed focused on what could be useful to other people rather than how I was _________. Surprisingly, my speech received great __________. I understand that to get admiration, stop __________ it, to take care of yourself, you need to take care of others first. This __________ works for many people. It’s also __________ that you need to be kind to yourself because if your sense of being happy __________, you’re more likely to be patient, supportive, forgiving, and loving.
