Selfish

Selfish.
Its built in with every person.

From birth, i am born selfish. All i care was what i want. I want milk, I will cry and my parents will come rushing to my aid.
When i score poorly, i will quickly point my fingers to the exam papers or the lecturers. One of the last few reason i will gave is myself. 
My interest comes first when I am finding a job. If I got myself a job that i dun really like, i will either struggle everyday to work or dun really perform well for the tasks given to me.

Can you find similarity with these statements that i experience? If so, welcome to the selfish family. Haha.

To be plain honest, it is simplest to be selfish, because it is so natural that it was not take a lot of effort out of a person. And there is lots of self-justification to selfishness. One of the more common ones is "If i can't even take care of my own self, how can i even take care of others?"

So selfishness is very easy, common and everywhere. There is no denial about this.
BUT even in the midst of all such selfishness, it remains a choice.

What do i mean by a choice?

We are given a mind to control what we want to do. So in every decision; the decision to be selfish, the decision to be selfless, the decision to do what is easy, the decision to do what is right; we have the choice to choose what to do. Hence, if is about convincing ourself that doing what is selfless and doing what is right, is after all worth the struggle, worth the effort.

I like to share my opinion.
When one person choose to be selfish, doors will remain to be close. But when one person choose to be selfless, many doors will have the choice to be open.
What are these doors?
There represent the hearts of people. When we choose to be selfless, it will first give a shock to that person and after which, the person will be curious why we choose to be selfless. Doors are open and conversation starts.

We are on this for a short 80 - 100 years as compared to the many years of human history. To be selfish enough to make sure people knows you even 1000 of years later could be a tough selfless act. Take for example Jesus, His act on the cross, still is opening up doors even til today.

Is taking the step of selfless simple?
No, of course not.

But if you feel that you dun just want to spend your short time here on earth, maybe you can try to be a bit selfless and see how many doors will be open to you.

I remember a trustworthy saying. "When you change, Everything Changes"
So be that change you want to see.

Haha. Have a great weekend. GBU.
