Hello Hive,
"POSITIVE SELFISHNESS"
Hive-reachout weekly prompt #95.
In my own opinion and in my own point of views "positive selfishness" has so many parts and so many names that defines it or relates to it. But remember, it's the actual fact and the actual demonstrations of being very straightforward and having the ability to showcase boldness about your own personality. It's a character that shows others that you love your own self, more than or above all else.
It's a decision you make to let people know that you value who you are and has no duplicate or a replacement from everywhere in this life. It's actually self-focusing, and a self- loving senerio before attending to other people's matters or other things around you or you have been drawn attention to in your environment or in life generally.
I'm the first attitude...!
The truth is that, positive selfishness does not apply in all aspects of life.
In a situation of extreme difficulty or emergency, you have to adjust to helping out solve some emergencies you know quite well that are about to present negative experiences or extreme losses and regrets. Or disrupt the process of peace, harmony and oness to a people and to those looking up to you.
There are things you would need others to help you do. You need others at one time or the other, nobody can actually bury him or herself. Reflect on the things of life, properly.
Use your brain, senses and wisdom to relate with others. Don't be snobbish
"Life Can Happen To Any One"
Sometimes, you can always adjust to help, Do not ignore such immediate needs of giving your attentions to helping whoever that is in dare need of your sincere and trustworthy, helpful attentions, if the situation is a legitimate one. We are living for one another, don't totally tighten up, it can be you tomorrow, you never can tell.
A proverb says,
"No body cuts off his or her fingers because your finger nails had over grown. You will rather trim off your nails and never cutting off your fingers"
Do not defend people in their errors or on those situations that can mare your own image that you had already built up and formed, but help people when necessary and still keep your self respect.
Positive selfishness is the act of living a lifestyle of your self not minding what others think of it or about it. This life style is learnt or carefully decided upon for some reasons of maybe your previous experiences on certain people or on certain issues of life.
You will then pause and ponder deeply about the next approach you can imply in order to keep your own diginity, in order to guide your life to giving yourself, some self-respect, self - preservations or self- limitations from further untold harms because you know your own likes and don'ts.
You know those things that matters in your life, you know those things that triggers happiness and self esteem to you. People are not the same. Most times you cannot control how people behave but you know your limits and can always control what comes to you or how you react to others. This is majorly in relationships or in giving out your valuables to other people that do not value other people's efforts.
Positive selfishness is the boldness to stand out for who you are, not allowing what other people think about you or what they say to damage you knowing your true caliber and the limits you can go about whatsoever. Not being intimidated by what people say or think about your decisions or actions anytime, anywhere.
Positive selfishness is about being truthful not mixing words to your original self decisions. Positive selfishness is creating your own self worth for other people to understand your limitations and standards about life so that they may not create some dramas and expect you to be involved.
There are ways you can present yourself, people will be afraid to lie to you or take you for granted. This is some of the benefits of positive selfishness.
