Selfishness

This statement won't surprise anyone...but we are the most selfish people around. Lately in my circle the selfishness of people had reared it's ugly head in a big way. I don't right this and not admit that in my life I have thought only of myself in situations, unaware of what the consequences would be or how it would effect other people. Those choices that I've made I either have lived with the outcome that's not always good, it's ruined friendships, made wedges between people and forever changes the direction of your life. I know that there are people in this world that it's all about them and they don't care. Those people are toxic and should never be brought into your circle, they will only bring frustration, anger and disappointment into your life. ALL things that we need to stay away from.

But through all this selfishness lately it has lead me to a lot of inward soul searching. I have stepped back from what's going on around me and realized a lot of things, how people truly are, how blessed we are to have a God that loves us no matter what, how I want to be as a person, who I had been. This weight loss isn't just about losing weight and being thinner or improving my health-all those things are great, but this journey is also about an understanding of who I am, where my life has been and where I am headed. This journey is a chance for me to reflect on the inner self and the places I need to improve. WE get 1 life, 1 chance to do this....why live it in a way that's only about "you" instead of living it in a way that is pleasing and brings glory and joy to the lives around you. Food for thought...."Never make someone a priority when they make you an option." (thank you mom for sharing this!)
