When someone says the word selfish, people automatically assume it’s a bad thing…

But is it really?

I get that there is a difference of ways in which you can be selfish, but I think people are too quick to judge someone and just throw out the words that someone is selfish. What if being selfish meant, you are just doing what is best for you? Why is it so bad that I am concerned with my life and how it turns out? I think people need to be more selfish. We are so worried about being called selfish that we never do things for ourselves anymore. I can’t help but think if we start doing things for ourselves, things we truly want to do, we will all be happier. And just maybe the word selfish won’t have such a horrid connotation. We deserve to have fun, do what we want, and act with our best interests in mind. By avoiding being called the word selfish and not doing what you truly want, are you actually doing more good than harm?

At the end of the day, you are your main concern, number one fan, and top priority. I challenge you to be selfish this week, take the time to do what makes you happy. Do what you need to do to set yourself up for greatness. Don’t spend all your time worrying about how to make others happy, when aren’t able to make yourself happy. Trying your best to make yourself happy doesn’t make you a bad person! Too often society tells us what is and is not acceptable to do and feel, as human natures goes, we believe everything we’re told! But this is no longer the case, put yourself first. Don’t be ashamed for doing what you need to do and don’t let anyone tell you different; chances are they don’t know how to put themselves first.

So, put yourself first for a change.
Go and get your own happiness.
