Selfishness: Is It Ever Ok To Be Selfish?
Imagine how your life would change if you could joyfully give to others rather than feeling overwhelmed or stressed about how much you are asked to give.
Imagine if you felt as though what you have the capacity to do for others is truly a gift rather than an obligation.
You see, when you’re burnt out from always giving, nothing feels very fun or joyful. Instead, everything feels like hard work and struggle.
It’s exhausting. And this not only affects your relationships – but it also affects your health, your work, your family, and even your children’s well-being.
