Is it selfish to focus on yourself?

Is it selfish to take selfies at the beach? Nah.

Do you feel selfish whenever you focus on yourself?

I don't mean focusing the camera on yourself for a selfie (aunque no veo nada malo en esto), but focusing on yourself: Who you are? What are your wants, your desires? How do you work best? What needs to you have that need to be met?

I imagine your answers to each of those might be different.

You might feel good about learning more about yourself in order to be more efficient in your job, because you can see how that directly impacts others like your boss, your co-workers, and especially your clients.

But sometimes we start to feel icky when it comes to looking at what we want, need, and desire, and making sure those are met.

Is taking the time to get to know yourself and prioritizing your own needs essential to being effective, or is it just...

...selfish??

It is never selfish to learn more about yourself and how to meet your own needs when it results in you being able to make more of a positive impact on the world and in the lives of others.

Last week, we talked about how you have to have a good foundation in place before you can successfully build something on it.

Do you know what you need to have in your foundation??

Do you know how to meet your own needs??

It is essential that you get to know yourself and make sure your own needs are met in order to be in a position to build a legacy and make a positive impact on others.

That's not selfish. That's what allows you to be of good service to others.

Join me in my latest episode of #SpanishSaturday, my weekly bilingual life and language coaching series, to figure out what makes your foundation strong so you can start making a real difference.
