Nothing Wrong with Being Selfish

In yesterday's Abraham video, she says, "selfishness is a vibrational alignment with self". Ayn Rand says the same thing by introducing the definition of the word, "selfishness is concerned with one's own interest".

The word selfishness is used as a synonym of evil as Rand pointed out. We somehow try to please other people. Helping others is regarded a good thing. The problem is that most of the time, they don't help themself yet. So, they really cannot help other people.

If you want to help others, the first thing you need to do is to help yourself. Before that, you cannot help others. You can't give what you don't have. Again. It comes back. If you want to do something, you need to develop yourself first to be able to do the thing. Training, practice, education, whatever. The first thing is always to develop yourself. Personal development.

Not only there is nothing wrong with being selfish, but also you need to be selfish. You are the one who is responsible for your personal development. And the developed version of you can do what you want to do.
