I'm Selfish. Sue Me.

Sometimes...well, a lot of times, all I can seem to think about is myself. So what? Am I wrong? No, not at all. As a matter of fact, I encourage more people to think more about themselves. What do you want?

For years, I have heard many people talk about the beauty of selflessness. Selflessness is a beautiful thing, no doubt. But let me tell you, you are sadly mistaken if you don't think that every person who has discovered the true beauty of selflessness, is not also selfish . Because the true beauty of selflessness is what? It is understanding the fulfillment that we gain in thinking of, or doing for someone other than ourselves. So... we may not be getting something out of it as far as reciprocation or acknowledgement, but, our souls are nourished, our thoughts are challenged, our views are changed, and our lives are enhanced. We feel fulfilled.

What do I want?
I want to make a difference in the world. I want to be a part of something bigger than myself. I want to be happy. I want to be free. I want to love. I want to live. I want to change someone's mind. I want to change someone's heart. I want to give someone one more reason to smile. I want peace. I want to share joy. I want to give love. I want to learn. I want to enhance. I want to create. I want to remember. I want to redeem. I want to refresh.  I want to understand. I want to grow.

How selfish of me to want so much, right? I know...but I'm totally fine with inspiring and changing the lives of others, if that's the price I have to pay to get what I want.
What about you? Try it. Go be selfish...get what you want! Even if it means changing your life and helping others along the way.

    Hmmmmmmmm........... I have to admit to asking myself, (not out loud!) is what you are speaking, filed under "selfish"???

    I think not. The mere fact you include others, destroys any notions of selfishness - but I get what you are saying and agree. We all should want to "be a better me" if it doesn't crush other unsuspecting souls in the process!

    As a fellow human being, I respect and admire your character but lament that we will never be going out on a romantic date!

    Note to self - cross THAT one off the list!!

      Thanks for your input. The point I was making here was that this form of "selfishness" -which is actually not actually selfish at all- is a good thing. It is good for us to want to be better in life and it is great for us to realize that sometimes the greatest thing we could give ourselves is actually giving OF ourselves. The post isn't really meant to say that people who are selfless givers are selfish people, but moreso to speak to the "secret" that they have discovered in reciprocity :)

    After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call him +2349055637784 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
