We live in a Selfish world. It's ok to be Selfish, but do it for the right reasons.
I selfishly help others because I know that in the end I will benefit from it. People tell me thank you and are extremely happy with me, while I walk away feeling like I'm the one who gained more from the situation, because I did.
Be a smart "giver" and the world will give back more to than you gave to others.
The most popular excuse in the world is "I don't have time". These people have time to watch tv, search the internet, play video games, go shopping, hangout with friends, etc. They make time to waste time and when it comes to investing time into something beneficial they say that they don't have time.
If you want to accomplish your goals, make time. Successful people "don't have time" to make excuses.
Be grateful that you do have time and use it wisely. Be grateful that you are able to accomplish every realistic goal that you set for yourself. Maybe you won't fly to the moon. That may be an unrealistic goal. However, here on Earth you can do almost anything you desire. Be grateful, stop making excuses.
I have very few friends in my life after following that piece of advice. Losers bring you down to their level. If you don't want to be at their level, let them go. If you are the loser, you need to forget about friends and focus on yourself. Don't be selfish. Be grateful that you are able to make changes that will not only benefit you and your future, but will also benefit the people in your life.
Losers waste time talking about nothing. If you want to become successful you need to surround yourself with like-minded people and if you can't, then surround yourself with no one and work on creating a stronger version of yourself so that in the future you can surround yourself with successful friends.
No one is more selfish than a loser friend.
For example, if you own a sandwich shop you can give away free sandwiches and in exchange you will gain "happy customers", assuming you make a good sandwich. You are giving to others in exchange for the opportunity to connect with "some" of them. This is good business practice.
Celebrities are given free clothing to wear. They are wealthy why are they being given free clothing and not poor people? A celebrity is a great connection to have and major clothing brands understand this.
This is how to gain from selfishness. Help others and make connections. You need to give to receive.
What separates the best from the rest is generally attention to detail. This means that you need to realize that every piece of the puzzle matters. The more care you take with each piece the nicer the puzzle will look.
If you were to clone yourself 9 times and you all started a diet and exercise plan which would last 2 years, the body that would look the best after those 2 years is the one that paid the most attention to detail. In this example attention to detail would mean following a strict diet and tracking all of their food intake, while doing the same with an exercise program.
Those who fail to plan, plan to fail. By planning you are able to figure out key areas in which you would benefit from focusing on and by following this plan you will achieve greater success than if you were to not have planned at all.
Everyone wants something. Wanting is not enough. To turn dreams into reality you must turn those dreams into needs.
You need oxygen, so you breathe. If you needed to lose weight, you would start eating healthier and exercising. If there is a need there is a way and you must go that way to get what you need.
