    Another False Dichotomy

    Selfish vs Selfless

    Alan Rafael Seid

    Trainer Tips · 1 - 2 minutes · 8/25/2022

    If we’re selfish, all we care about is our own needs. If we’re selfless, our needs don’t enter the picture; others needs are the focus. But what if serving others meets our needs? What if being only selfish ultimately results in our needs being unmet? Do you find yourself bouncing between being a selfless doormat and then resenting it, and beating yourself up for being “selfish”? Instead, care about others’ needs AND your needs.
