In this reflective monologue, the speaker argues that consistently making decisions that benefit only oneself signals an unhealed heart. While acknowledging that self‑care is sometimes necessary, she emphasizes that most decisions should consider others because humans are designed for connection. She shares a personal story of a severe asthma flare‑up that forced her into two months of isolation, during which she realized how lonely, self‑focused choices left her feeling sad. The speaker concludes by urging listeners to examine how many people benefit from their decisions, prompting self‑reflection on relational health.

Listen, so anytime you make decisions that benefit only you, that is a sign of an unhealed heart. Now I understand there will be some times where you do need to make decisions for yourself to take care of yourself, but it shouldn't be most of the times that you have to say, oh, I have to be thinking about myself. I remember the past few months I have been Pretty much taking care of nothing but myself because I had such a major flare-up in my asthma that I couldn't even speak. And so for those 2 months that I was taking care of nobody but myself, I felt so sad. And I realized that's because God designed us for connection. So I couldn't really connect with people. And all of the decisions I was making was benefiting pretty much just me. So ask yourself this question: how many people benefit from the decisions you make?
