When It Is Good To Be "Selfish"

We were taught that being "selfish" is a bad thing and when you take the American meaning of the word----"Caring supremely or unduly for one's self; regarding one's own comfort, advantage, etc., in disregard, or at the expense, of those of others"--- it is.

But Abraham tells us to be "as selfish as a cat". 

Well, the reason is that Abraham is talking about a different definition for the word. 

The author Elizabeth Gilbert explains this very well.  She says we just need another definition for the word like they have in the Mandarin Chinese language where there are two words for 'selfish'.

 

One is used with mean-spirited, malicious intent.  Similar to the meaning that we think of in America when we use the word selfish".

The other meaning is about a profound connection to Spirit.  

When you strive to be this kind of "selfish", not only will your own life improve, but you will be more giving to others in all areas, because from this connection to Source, your potential for abundance is unlimited.

 

This is a very good way to be "selfish" and you should strive toward it.

 

I have found that when people are very connected with Source and living in alignment with Universal Laws, they will tend to be even more giving to others. 

 

They just know that it all begins with themselves.

 

Start with raising your own vibration and creating your own perfect life and then you will see how much better you can help improve other people's lives.
