Fatigue is a gift whether you realize it or not.  It is an indication you are human, that you have limitations.  It can be caused by not sleeping and eating properly, stress or illness or any combination thereof.

It has a set of causes and forces you to do something to rectify it.  It is not only no fun being tired but also it is very hard to be productive.  You are often not able to meet the demands of others adequately.

Fatigue forces you to acknowledge you have limitations and you have to observe them or pay the cost.  Often (though not all the time) you can correct your chronic fatigue by simply taking better care of yourself:  sleeping and eating properly often do wonders.

These are simple causes of fatigue.  Stress can, also, wear you down and cause havoc in your life.  Chronic fatigue can be a result.

Illness, of course, can be factor and there is so much you can do about that but, nevertheless, not observing your limits can lower your resistance to mono, cold and the flu and I am sure this is only a short list.  All kinds of things.

Most of the time fatigue is a indicator you have to take care of yourself better so do not ignore it.  Everything in our life has a purpose even fatigue. So listen to your body.

If you want to truly like yourself, it always starts off with self-respect.  And you can not do that if you consistently do not enjoy yourself.  When in your own heart you do not do the things that you know you ought to do you lose self respect.

I have been there.  I know what that is like.  I have not always liked me.  Not that you can all the time.  If you want others to like you, first you have to like yourself.

And that starts by obeying that tiny voice only you can hear.  When you do the things that have to be done, then you gain greater respect of yourself.

At the same time we are creatures of pleasure.  We have to find joy in our lives, we have to every day do things that give us pleasure.  I can not tell you what they are but you know.

Life is one of balance.  Yes, each of us has obligations to our loved ones.  And our life can not be just that although you always have to fulfill the most important obligations in your life.

But still you have to find pleasure in what you do and that means doing at least a few things every day you enjoy.

All this produces self respect.  And like.  Violate your deepest self consistently and you will dislike yourself.  Respect who you are and you are more apt to like yourself and in turn others will like you more.  It always starts with you.
