YOU'RE NOT CONCEITED ~

do not sacrifice your morals…

The majority of us still mistakenly interpret being "selfish" to entail taking care of oneself. We hear this advice to prioritise other people a lot. Choosing oneself is seen as a selfish idea in this fast-paced world. Our nature is shaped to prioritise the needs of others over our own, lending a helping hand even when it causes us harm.

Does that include being self-centred towards us or the bystanders?

It all begins with you. If an act is unselfish towards

oneself rather than done for one's personal benefit, one need not be called selfish. It is untrue to have the

distorted belief that attending to your personal needs means ignoring those of others. It's only when you start expecting the outside world to prioritise you that selfishness sets in.

Is it acceptable to accept and adhere to the trends established by our culture?

Even when it means sacrificing ourselves, we frequently discover that we are always willing to support and assist others. Nothing about ourselves, only the experiences of others, are ever told from our hearts, which turn into pools of generosity. It may be simply that we are familiar with what it's like to be alone in a harsh environment.

We will stop at nothing to get the approval of others; even if it puts us at stake or results in our efforts going unrewarded, we will still reach out and shake hands with them when they are at their lowest. Realise that an empty cup cannot be used to pour from.

You will never be content no matter how much you help other people if you don't know how to prioritise yourself. You have to start with yourself if you want to be kind and selfless. When you support yourself, you have more to

give to others, which is when your best self shows

through. Once your personal needs are taken care of, you are able to contribute to others honestly and selflessly.

I think you'll learn one day that being selfish doesn't have to mean selecting yourself. It's about realising that you

and everyone else have equal sentiments, emotions, and peace. Recall that leaving individuals and circumstances that sap your peace of mind is a self-care measure rather than a harsh one. All you're doing is acting typical.

Quit letting society indoctrinate you into believing that prioritising oneself over other people is selfish. Remember, no one would ever genuinely care about your welfare and best interests, excluding your parents. It's

also possible—though not guaranteed—that your coworkers will end up like them after decades of working together.

It's acceptable to keep your distance from individuals who think receiving is more important than giving. It doesn't make you a bad person to set limits, to refuse requests when they're not appropriate, or to put your own serenity above all else. When helping is not something you can do on your own, it's acceptable to decline.

It is actually a crucial activity to maintain personal wellbeing because it can be neglected if you are not aware of and attentive to your own requirements. When you are investing your time and energy, it is essential that you

first keep putting yourself first.

You don't need to apologise for putting your happiness

and aspirations first. It is not a reason to feel sorry for yourself when you give up on things that no longer serve you. Having a broken heart now is preferable to having a bitter mind later.

Primarily, ponder over this question casually:

If you chose yourself, is it exhausting to constantly be trapped under the impression that you are selfish, even

for a change?

It would be simple to respond in a way that would please everyone, to consider your response before answering, or to truly give a meaningless response. 

It's a straightforward engagement, in my perspective. You must prioritise your needs over those of others, and sure, living a life intended to appease them may be detrimental to your emotional well-being. In case things go wrong, the only person who can really save you is you. Helping someone else comes as a surprise if you are unable to

help yourself.

It's not selfish to put your needs ahead of those of others. Your ability to encourage others will improve as you become more confident in yourself. It is imperative that you present the finest possible version of yourself to the world, providing people with well-considered benefits.

Since nobody has the same heart as you, it is solely your obligation to attend to your own needs. It is never selfish to love and care for oneself; rather, it is a need. 

Welcome to what may be the start of liking yourself.
