Selfish

I was recently asked my view on Selfishness:

"My view on selfishness? Well, I think if you create a really-good-you, you can then make a difference in other people's lives - And in our society that is considered unselfish. But I think somewhere along the way, the term selfish got a bad rap. You cannot give and be productive if you are sick, depressed or overwhelmed. I think being selfish and looking out for number one is the most giving thing you can do."

I think "selfishness" is often confused with greed, or not wanting other to have what they need. It is really about thinking about and focusing on what is best for yourself - - Then finding the resources to make sure you are happy and satisfied. If people think they do not innately do this everyday, they are confused! You cannot provide for your children or make sound decisions without being selfish.
