Good morning,

One of the patterns that I have noticed with my clients recently is how many of them are struggling with the idea of being more selfish. For most of them, the story goes like this…

They have decided to take better care of themselves and, to this end, they are spending more time on personal development work and gaining new skills. These tasks take time, which means they aren't in a position to solve the problems of those around them. Because of this, their loved ones are giving them push back about not being present.

Sometimes this push back is passive aggressive, at other times they are being called selfish flat out.

There is so much cultural baggage around behaving in a way that is perceived as selfish. In the modern world selfishness is deemed a horrid sin. It is an easy way to dismiss someone by calling them selfish.

I look at selfishness in a very different way.

I believe that by our very nature we have to be selfish AND if we are not being selfish, then we are doing ourselves and the world a disservice.

That last sentence is not meant to be a clickbaity attempt to get you to look at some fake outrage. I truly believe that we need to be selfish.

This week I have an article and a tap-along audio about why I think being selfish is one of the best choices you can make. I have provided both because I think this is such an important topic. You can read or listen to my thoughts AND have the audio plus a printed tapping script to use in the way that works best for you.

Be selfish for a few minutes and learn: http://tappingqanda.com/?p=12061

Do you disagree with my point of view on this topic? I would love to hear your thoughts on it! Please add them in the comment section on the website.

Have a great Friday,

Gene
