“Please Be Selfish” — Truth Bombs That Will Change Your Life

Something that is selfish or more mildly put, self-centered should be easy to conquer. After all, our minds are wired that way. Or so we think.

The two faculties of humans are vivid memories and unbridled imagination. Both are great possibilities. Even greater possibility are our moments.

For me, one daily moment is walking hand in hand, in lock step with my daughters on their way to school. I often wonder — what happens if I can suspend my memories and fully immerse in those moments? For those fleeting moments, I experience unexplained inner joy waffling in front of me. There is something cathartic about it.

Yet, day after day, it’s so hard to do. On most days, physical moments are a consequence of the mind moving our body. It is hard to numb memories. It is hard to suspend, even for a brief while, on what needs to be done at work after dropping them off.

The mind can indeed be beautiful. The right moments, more so. Consciously making those moments happen is a lifetime of conscious learning.
