Not long ago, a friend mentioned a situation she had become entangled in trying to be "the bigger person".  Being the "bigger person" meant that she had to acquiesce to the other person's wishes even though this would mean plenty of self sacrifice on her time for herself and with her friends and family.   The other person was firing on all guns pulling it the usual false ammunition of "after all I have done for you!"as well as "you are so selfish!" 

 

"I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others like me, if I do that well enough, then I'll be able to look after someone else -- the children or the husband or the elderly. But I have to look after myself first. I know that some people think that's being selfish, I think that's being self-full."

~ Maya Angelou

 

"I have learned to go fully in the face of my dreams. I would recommend you do the same. Now is the time in your life to be selfish. To explore. To take chances. Remember being selfish is not the same as being self-indulgent. You have the gift of time. Use it to do what you love. Believe anything is possible and then work like hell to make it happen."

~ Julianna Margulies

 

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

~Oscar Wilde

 

"Sometimes when I am alone in my room in the dark, I practice smiling to myself.  I do this to be kind to myself, to take good care of myself, to love myself.  I know that if I cannot take care of myself, I cannot take care of anyone else."

~ Thich Nhat Hanh
