We are hearing a lot of messages around Selfishness lately. That we need to stop being so selfish.  This has a lot of people in the self-development world scratching their heads. Should we stop working ourselves? Is that selfish?  Selfishness in general has gotten a bad wrap.  When we think of that word- we don't typically think of a positive definition.  However, I think understanding what it actually is- can help us shed some light on what selfishness really is.  I believe there's a spectrum when it comes to selfishness.  Selfish is on one side that says I matter and no one else does. I will take care of myself at other people's expense. The other side is Self-lessness which interestingly is where people believe is where we are supposed to be. That however is us taking care of everyone else at our own expense.  I would offer that there's a place in the middle. Learning to take care of ourselves, so we can take care of everyone else. How can we expect ourselves to give when we have nothing to give?  We need to be selfish to be selfless.  The way we do it matters hweover.  We are not saying to take care of yourself at everyone else's expense. It's taking care of your needs AND loving everyone else.  Listen today as we dive deep into this conversation.  I would love to hear from you on your thoughts about this.  If you're wanting to grab a 1:1 spot to learn how to connect more to yourself-  sign up with this link here.  Show Notes found HERE
