What happens is people use selfish as a negative term

I use to think me going out of my way to always be there for people was the unselfish thing to do

I would pride myself on dropping things that were important to me to be there

Now I’m not saying that’s a terrible thing.. but it hurt my success and ability to reach my full potential

Here the mind shift that happened... if I don’t reach my full potential and put myself in a position to help hundreds if not thousands of people THAT is selfish

You can’t help anyone until you help yourself first.. like when the plane goes down you put your mask on first because if you pass out you can’t help anyone

Sometimes it can be tough but being essentially selfish is your right, duty and obligation
