4 Ways Where Being Selfish Helps You To Succeed
Be Selfish
Only care about you and your life. This is a new concept that I’ve recently discovered through a video of Gary Vaynerchuk.
Before that, I thought that being selfish was actually a bad thing.
“Life gives to giver and take from takers.”
This is the idea I had about selfishness.
But his point of view about being selfish is very interesting and changed my way of seeing it.
Let me explain you this vision through 4 points:
Be selfish with your goals.
Be slefish about your goals.
Stay focus on your life and your dreams. You only live once and you can’t spend too much time listening to other people’s dreams and problems.
You have to use your time for working on your goals. Achieve daily goals and work hard to make your long-term dream a reality.
Be selfish with your time.
Of course we want our time, but everybody’s wasting so many hours doing dumb or useless things.
I don’t say you have to become a machine, it’s great to do dumb things and get bored sometimes!
But if you really want to become successful, you have to be more selfish with your own schedule.
Decide how you want to spend your 24 hours wisely and be selfish about it because you won’t have 1 or 2 extra hours.
Be Selfish with your actions.
Go to the essential. Be selfish with your actions.
Don’t do actions that can be automated or that don’t have a big impact on your goals.
You have to select the actions you’re doing each days of your life.
It is crucial if you want to be one day successful.
Multi-millions businesses (or any big goals you have in life) aren’t build up without hard work.
Be Selfish with your relationships.
This one can be tricky.
Usually, when we’re talking about selfish relationship it is more seen as a bad thing. With possessive people and stuff like that.
What I am talking about here is different from this idea.
You cannot be friends with everybody, and you have to select the best relationships you are living.
You have to be selective. Choose the best. Cut off the losers and complainers people from your life. Make choices.
Relationships are so valuable and nobody can live without them. However, you have to be careful with whom you’re hanging out with.
The people you’re spending the most of your time with directly impact your life, in a good and a bad way. Choose them well.
Conclusion
Being selfish is viewed for most of us as a bad thing.
But in this article, being selfish means being selective. And it is essential if you want to become successful or to achieve your dreams.
We all have 24 hours and we have to efficiently decide how we are going to use them.
Be selfish, decide well, your future depends on it.
