Relationship With Self

I am just as important to me, as you are to me. In everyday busy life, time to time I forget who I am. I get lost in the run of life. I no longer know my purpose to being and to community.

Recently, I met a woman, who traveled beside me on a flight from Phoenix to Minneapolis. She told me the reason one gets lost is because they no longer have relationship with self. And that once you have a great relationship with yourself, then you will automatically get the respect you deserve from everyone else. Its a great advice and motto to live by. I thanked her at the end of the flight because I need to here that from some else.

Every time I think of myself the word that comes to my mind is "selfish". In last decade or two that was the pretty popular word that got thrown at me every time I wanted to do things my way, or even wanting to choose my own relationships was a problem.

So here I am with less loving relationships and with more unwanted stress of trying not to be selfish. Therefore, next time if I ever feel like I am making a decision and I stop because I don't want be selfish... I will Just ask myself will this make my life more stressful tomorrow?
