6 Reasons Why Selfish is the Only Way to Be
You have to be selfish. Not selfish in a negative way, but selfish in a positive way. In "The Little Book Of YES! Attitudes" by Jeffrey Gitomer. Jeff talks about being selfish is the right way to be.
He talks about negative selfishness, this is where you don't share your toys with others. He says this is bad and you shouldn't be selfish in this light.
He wants you to be "positively selfish", selfish in a positive way. This is wanting to help someone because it makes you feel good. Giving back, because you feel good afterwards. This is about reading a book, because it'll make you a better person.
Positive selfishness makes a lot of sense. You have to be living in some way for yourself, and be happy doing it. You have to be happy learning and growing and giving back. You have to do that for yourself.
Here is 6 Ways to be Positively Selfish.
1. Give money to charity. You always have enough to give a little bit up. Do so because you want to and the good feeling it'll bring you. There is always someone worst off then you are and they could use some help.
2. Give your time, volunteer. If you don't have money you can always give your time. Go to your local library and ask if they could use a helping hand, they could always use another helping hand to sort books, or wash windows.
3. Read, learn something new. Learn to love reading. Read to make yourself feel good and to grow and become a 'better' person. Learn how to stay calm or be more positive or learn those skills that will help you in life.
4. Exercise, because it feels good. Go and exercise, everyday. It'll reshape your body. You don't know what you are missing if you are not in good shape. It is a whole new world. You can do things that you use to thought was impossible.
5. Meditate, feed your soul. Be one with yourself. Learn to love yourself and happy with your current situation. Do so because it feels good.
6. Spend time with love ones. Never have regrets about spending time with the people you love. Your family and friends makes life a joy and they should bring you Happiness. Be in love and be at joy while spending time with them, and do so positively selfishly.
