Selfishness Reimagined - A Vital Step Towards True Happiness
The Lemon Drop: Redefining Selfishness
Have you ever considered that being selfish is not just acceptable but imperative for finding true happiness and success?
In this Lemon Drop, we redefine the narrative around selfishness and its pivotal role in our journey. Today, we challenge the stigma surrounding selfishness, recognizing it as a necessary trait on the path to personal fulfillment.
The Slice: Embracing Selfishness for Success and Happiness
It has been ingrained in us that being selfish is bad rather than an imperative element on the path to true happiness. I dive deeper into this metaphor in my book, but there is a reason we have to put our life masks on first if there is an emergency on an airplane. Why is this? Because you cannot save anyone else, no matter how much you may want to, if you’re not breathing first.
I’ve made this mistake in the past with work, friendships and romantic partnerships. I never allowed myself to breathe first. Now I have on my life mask. If we do not help and invest into ourselves first to truly understand what we want and explore our true potential, we are never going to be able to help others do the same.
