It’s ok to be selfish.
The definition of selfish is a person who is lacking consideration for others and is concerned with one's own personal profit or pleasure.
Well, you only get one life; so, what’s wrong with that!?
Putting yourself first is a necessity for personal and professional success. The problem is, your closest friends and family will call you selfish and tell you how “you’ve changed” when you make sacrifices that will benefit you. Instead of supporting your mission, it becomes a negative experience, ultimately leading to an instant halt in pursuing your dreams.
We hear it and think it all the time. “I’d work out but I can’t. Work and kids.... Ya know what I mean?”
My questions is…..
How can you give your friends and family the best version of yourself if you’re constantly living your life for other people?!
Don’t get me wrong, family and friends are important. But, we owe it to ourselves to make ourselves happy first.
Don’t let external influences stop you from chasing your dreams and becoming successful!
Don't treat it as being selfish, treat it as an investment!
Amen 🙏🏻 Talk that talk coach 🔥
Love this!
