#437: Be Selfish (Friday, May 15)

"Care about others, but live for yourself."

Sometimes you may be tempted to fall on the sword, to do what you think is expected of you just to keep the peace or assuage the guilt or for some other reason that no one else is thinking about but you.

Fight the urge. Sometimes it pays to be selfish, to forget what is expected of you and focus on what you want. You'll live a happier, more stress-free life which will make those around you happier too.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but being selfish can mean being awesome.
