You Then Others?

What does ‘you then others’ mean? Are you telling me that I should only care about myself and not others? Are you telling me to be selfish? Not exactly.

I believe that there are 2 types of selfish.

  1. Only caring about ourselves and not willing to listen/help others.
  2. Only caring about listening to/helping others and not caring about ourselves.

One is selfish from an outsider perspective; the other is selfish from an insider perspective.

We have been taught a lot about the first definition of selfish, but the second one is usually never even mentioned.

Think about it. Who will always be in your life? You will. Who will always have your back? You will. Whose life are you living? Your life.

So I just find it saddening to see that I and many others around me have been/are constantly doing things based on the expectation others have placed upon them:

I need to go to college to get an education, I need to pay the bills on time so I don’t get in trouble, I need to fit in because that is what’s “right”.

In reality, you don’t need to do anything. You should live your own life WITH YOUR PURPOSE.

But “What is my purpose?” you may ask. That is what I will help to guide you towards.

I won’t be forcing you towards anything. I will instead be providing different viewpoints (mindsets) and habits that I have benefited from and you should as well if you put it into practice.

If you like some, TRY IT. If you don’t like some, then don’t try it. But I encourage you to TRY IT because I will only recommend tips that have worked for me.
