Why you SHOULD be selfish

I'm going to make this short and sweet... oftentimes a lot of people search externally for what they already have: love, acceptance, affection. The key to finding what you're searching for is realizing you already have it. Everything you want in life is already encoded, meaning internal. If you're searching outside of yourself, for something that's already there, you're going to get frustrated, and you're probably going to end up resenting everyone around you.

 

Think about it, being selfish can be healthy for you, for the simple fact that if you don't take care of you, no one else is going to do it for you. And if you don't know how to take care of yourself, no one else is going to know either. They will do, what they think is best for you, you putting your well being in their hands, and you will end up resenting them for doing what you should have been doing from the get-go. TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF.

 

Sometimes being selfish can come off as being bitchy or unkind, but in reality if you're doing what's best for you, not everyone is going to be happy for you, 100% of the time. When you're happy, you can't expect everyone else to be happy, or feel what you feel, so you shouldn't get upset if everyone isn't in alignment with you and your wellbeing. Everyone isn't you. And you aren't everyone, nor can you please everyone, and make everyone happy 100% of the time.

 

Chances are someone's not going to be happy with what you're doing, and chances are if you're totally focused they won't even be a blip on your radar, so stop worrying about pleasing everyone and follow your bliss. Do your passion, do you, be you, and let everyone else worry about themselves.
