There has to be a balance of taking care of yourself and taking care of others.
I say this because I and many people around me spend so much time worrying about or helping other people that it creates stress. And often it can create enough stress that it turns that person into someone that needs a crutch as well. None of us need crutches in the end really, we need to use our own legs, and perhaps accept the occasional hand to hold or pick us up along the way. It is ok to accept help every once in a while, just don't lose your dignity in the process. And please do not be someone else's crutch unless times are hard, for really if you take their dignity away helping them with their simplicities, then you are really more a hindrance in the long run than you are helping; and at the same time you are likely to be spreading yourself thin.
honor
pride
dignity
love for yourself (hard to do... i mean to say you can be a little selfish sometimes :)
love for others
