So here’s what I want you to think about, whether you have a job, whether you’re an entrepreneur, whoever you are, if you’re just trying to please others, and you think that whatever will make them happy, will make you happy, even if you’re miserable inside doing that, think about being selfish for a minute.
The problem with putting others first is the following; You’ve taught them you come second!
Here are some important points to know about selfish people:
- They have the drive to succeed.
- They tend to take better care of themselves instead of giving too much energy away serving the needs of everyone else.
- They are more confident and less likely to give up on goals.
- They go after what they want unapologetically.
- They’re not afraid to ask for the raise or promotion.
- They’re able to focus within and be much more authentic and much happier.
If you’re not hurting anyone, know that when someone tells you that you are selfish, they are actually telling you that you are a goal-oriented leader who knows how to take care of yourself.
Putting yourself first is not a negative quality; it’s your job to take care of yourself and get what you need.
Conclusion:
Well here’s the thing about life, we will always face lots of challenges. This is why we make decisions, and with every decision you’re making, life will lead you to a different path. Knowing that there is greatness in each one of us, listen to me for a second:
“You have amazing potential, but if you don’t make the decision to put it into practice and take action, because you procrastinate and you’re focused on helping others instead of yourself first. You will just prevent the world from seeing your greatness.”
