Love Yourself Enough To Be Selfish

We’ve all heard people say, “You’re selfish.”  “Why don't you do such and such?” “Why don’t you just go to school, finish your degree, become a doctor or a lawyer or something that has job security, or just get a job?”  When someone says, “you’re selfish” because you are not living according to the way “they” (whoever “they” are) wants you to live, it’s “their” notion of selfish that becomes more...
