Selfishness isn't just putting yourself first, it's getting trapped asking only about your own happiness and success. The real shift comes from asking what the world needs from you, how you can make someone smile, and what gifts you have to give.
Chapters
Selfishness is not what you think it is. Because selfishness is not just about having all things go your way. It's not only about putting yourself ahead of others. Most of us aren't looking for that. But selfishness has a way of finding us. Because the selfish approach to life can often feel anything but. It happens when we get stuck only asking questions of ourselves. What does happiness look like to me? What is success to me? What is the right path for me? These are all great questions, but they start to become limiting questions if they're the only ones you ask. What does the world need from me? How can I make somebody smile? What gifts of mine can be used to help somebody else? Questions pointing towards you and away from you. That's the way to get unstuck. Then you take action.
