Take time to be selfish

Were you told that to be selfish was a bad thing by any chance?

I think that selfishness can be misunderstood. Sometimes we need to be a little selfish.

How can we give to others without first giving to ourselves what we need? We have to feel fulfilled in order to give to others – otherwise we are coming from a place of lack. Lack because we feel that we are not getting what we need. That is a yucky place to be.

Give yourself permission to be selfish. What do you need to give yourself? Does it involve other people? They are not mind readers – so ask for what you want. Ask for help, ask for time … just ask for what you need. Try it – it is surprisingly easy and people love to help. We always seem to forget that people generally love to be helpful.

When we take the time to focus on ourselves and satisfy our needs – we always find that we have so much more to give and share. What we have to give will seem bottomless when we fulfill our needs first. When we give with genuine love and generosity because we are fulfilled, it comes back to us 100 fold.

That dream is becoming easier to achieve all the time. Who knew selfishness could be so beneficial?

With great love, Suzanne
