selfish is not a dirty word

I just heard that on an Oprah episode.

Such a fantastic concept.

They ask: Would you treat yourself less respectfully than your child? (in different words, probably)

Such as: would you miss your Doctors appointments, take away play time, etc....

The message is so much clearer to me now.

I had already begun to learn a few years ago (through LOTS of therapy) that selfish isn't always a bad thing, but in this society it is a negative word that stands for negative behavior. I had to over come that.

This way of explaining it: "selfish is not a dirty word", sums it up with so much more clarity.

Women, especially you moms out there. You deserve your selfish time.

Remember this.

Honor this.

For the first time in our lives (or maybe just some of you) you can believe that being selfish is not only healthy and positive, but essential to being a more COMPLETE you.
