REDEFINED THE WORD SELFISH...
What if Selfish became self-ish? Try taking this word, which has a negative connotation, and giving it a positive spin. It is time to be a little more self-ish!
There is a kabblistic tradition taught by Rabbi Joseph Gelberman that tells us to take each word and imbue each letter with a new, fuller meaning. Try this on for size:
S - Nurture your SPIRIT.
E - ENJOY moments alone.
L- LOVE yourself.
F - Keep FIT and FEEL good.
I - Make your unique needs IMPORTANT.
S - SHOWER yourself with gifts.
H - Be HAPPY and opened - HEARTED

Thanks....I will remember that next time I feel \"selfish\"....Hugs, Kim
I think this is great! Everyone needs to be a little selfish sometimes. I think at times we all get caught up in trying to make other people happy or we put our needs last. Being selfish isn\'t always a bad thing. Everyone needs some time to take care of themselves and be happy. If you spend your life pleasing other people and not worrying about yourself too you are only going to end up hurting yourself. We all need \"me time\" but sometimes \"me time\" never happens. I think this post is great! Thank you for sharing!
Only when we can be good to ourselves can we in turn be at our best to give to others.....thank you for sharing. love, dale...brandon\'s mom
