Be Selfish. The World Needs You! – Mind Talk

Be Selfish. The World Needs You! - Mind Talk

Be selfish, because to me that is the only way to be in the world.

And if everybody is selfish, the world will be very very beautiful. My approach is very selfish. First, look at yourself. First let the light be there. First let love be there. First let some inner treasure be available there… and then you can share.

How can you share something that you donโ€™t have? You want to be loving โ€“ good! But do you have love? You would like to be compassionate, but do you have compassion?

Deep inside anger is boiling โ€“ and people are trying to be compassionate. Deep down is violence โ€“ and people are trying to be of service to others. Be true to yourself and then only you can be true to others.

What come in. The same thing goes out. My approach is very simple, and my understanding is this โ€“ that if everybody is selfish, the world will be very much better.

If you can look into your own self, and you can look into your own happiness, if you can create a small pool of happiness within you, you will start vibrating, pulsating with happiness.

Whomsoever will come in contact with you will have a little share of it, because whatsoever we are, we are constantly giving it.

Life is a continuous give and take. It is a pulsation, just like breathing โ€“ you breathe in, you breathe out. If you are happy, happiness goes out, happiness comes in. If you are celebrating, your breathing becomes a celebration. You touch somebodyโ€™s hand and you have transformed that manโ€™s being โ€“ at least for a moment; you have given him a glimpse, a taste. And of course you are related to many people, in many ways…. They all will start feeling.

Many many people who are selfish are needed in the world โ€“ they will become the powerful source of happiness. And then whatsoever you feel like doing, you do. If you want to serve a beggar, serve. But first things first. Otherwise you cannot serve anybody because you have not served even yourself.

So live truly, authentically, sincerely โ€“ that is the most fundamental thing.

Learn life! Don’t learn how to serve. Service comes as a shadow.

A really alive person is continuously sharing his energy โ€“ whatsoever he has โ€“ because he knows that the more you share, the more you have.

So my suggestion is: first be selfish, then altruism will come on its own accord. Then it has a beauty… a totally different quality. Then you are not a do-gooder. You donโ€™t impose anything on anybody. You are a sharer, and to whomsoever accepts some-thing from you, you feel grateful, because he has accepted something from you. Then there is no ego trip.

  • Respect yourself and You’ll respect others.
  • Make yourself happy and then You’ll make others happy.
  • Accept yourself completely and then You’ll find no trouble in accepting others as they are.
  • Love yourself and then You’ll love others.
  • Be kind to yourself and then You’ll be kind to others.
  • Forgive yourself and You’ll learn to forgive others.
  • Liberate yourself and You’ll be able to liberate others.

Be Selfish! Put yourself first! Let’s all promise ourselves to be Selfish and make this World still more beautiful!

    Everyone is free to choose their path. Choice is paramount as it is the only way to truly discover the self. Our choices reveal not who we are, but what we need to learn. Many assume that our higher self as they like to call it, knows it all, but if it did, it would not be here learning. Selfishness exist for good reasons but certainly not intended as it is used in most cases. Nature is our best teacher. Watch the seasons pass and learn the purpose of each seasons. Winter is a time that many could consider selfish, but only to recover, digest what has been taken in, regenerate by slowing down. Nature understands that all flows in and out and as such if one gives, one also receives. One honors what he receives but slowing down its giving and fully enjoys his gifts. This is not the same then giving to oneself as pushed by this new selfish trend we are experiencing now. Winter is taking one step back to go two step forward. Thinking that we need self-love to be able to be lovable, is not understanding what we truly are. We are complete already, not missing a thing. Only our ego perception is incomplete composed of layers of veils over veils. Each veil is only the attempt of ego to usurp for itself what it is not its own, and so more veils darkens the horizon. Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. Being selfish only deprives one of the true riches of what we are. One will never know what is true love until he gives it to someone who will never return it, and receive it from someone who loves without expectations. One will never know its own limits until they are met by someone else limits. It is easy, very easy to be selfish. No one learned much when things are easy. Always remember that the self is not the ego. If things do not flow from within, to out, then they are not real. They are just like fleeting thoughts. They are ego. To be real, they need to get out and shared. They need to take form. That is why the world of form exists and why it is so precious. Spirituality is our roots, and if shallow, can we really expect to rise high as the ego pretend? The light does not belong to us, but is bestowed upon us. Love is not ours, but it flows through us. Life does not belong to us, but expresses itself through us. We are but windows to the most high, the ONE, the infinite. Thinking that we do not have enough for ourselves and need to redirect it all to ourselves is not understanding what we are, and what infinity is. Closing our shutters to hold as much as we can for us, under the pretense that it is the only way to redistribute it is almost laughable. Just let your shutters open as wide as you can, and all will flow through you, never living you out wanting, ever, unless your desires are selfish of course, in which case you will only get the limits of the ego, and that is what so many are getting, and what makes so many so unhappy even when they have it all. When we are individuals (relative), we are limited. When we are divine (absolute), we are infinite. Be careful what you wish for and who do you feed most, as it will be the one that will be the strongest. Feed your limits and you will get more limits. Wisdom says, follow nature rhythm. Give what you have to give, and honor what you receive. It is the flow of things for the one that have ears to hear, eyes to see, and intelligence to understand. All is flow, donโ€™t be a scrooge.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
