HELLO EVERYONE!
“Self-sacrifice” in the name of your neighbor, in the name of Love, is the education we all receive from an early age. You are told to LOVE, as if you were told to sweep. And you force yourself to do it. You don't really love, because you didn't even know what that meant. You learn to be nice to everyone for fear of being rejected. How could you afford to be selfish? It's such an ugly word! You don't even know much about selfishness, you've been turned into a robot. And this forced behavior brings both frustration and repression of your true needs… But you can hardly discern - you have come to think so much that you are the image that others have built of you from an early age and that you identify with it so much now.

I'll tell you how I got out of this trap! Deep inside you feel the need to pay attention to yourself, the need to be gentle with yourself, the need to give yourself all the best.** Do it!** Forget the word "selfishness" and do it! This term is, in turn, so misused and misunderstood.
Self-sacrifice cannot appear within you by force, but only from the fullness of the love you have offered yourself. How could you look at the one next to you gently when you don't know how to do it with you? Embrace yourself, feel your body and its needs, feel your heart pounding, listen to your breath and realize how much you need yourself. Stop being harsh with yourself, asking your body to stay awake when it needs rest, asking your heart for something other than it wants. Listen to her and follow her. In the moment you know the gratitude that you are alive, you will look at another human being as well. Let me tell you what happened to me in a flash: I shook one of my two hands and feeling the warmth, as if I were holding the hand of the most beloved being in my hand.
Everything you give yourself you will be able to give, don't forget that!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING THIS!
