Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nosidebar.com/being-selfish/ Quotes to ponder: "To be alive is the biggest fear humans have. Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive, the risk to be alive and express what we really are." "Being selfish, not in the egotistic feed the bad wolf kind of way, but the self-care kind, is the foundation to seeking your true self." "When you take care of yourself first, you give your best self to others." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
