#22 What if it's selfish to be selfless?

Another week of quarantine, another attempt to reach out outwardly to check in inwardly. This week we consider what it is to be with ourselves. We continue to question what it means to be alive and how we are living. We ponder who and what we are focusing on to potentially avoid listening to ourselves and hearing our inner voice. We acknowledge that it is easier to choose others before ourselves because that is how we are programmed - is it selfless or is it selfish to forget ourselves?  We also question what pressures we are placing on ourselves and what structures may be holding us back from living liberated lives, beginning in childhood. Are we creating safe spaces, or are we creating toxic environments that create inner tension? Why are we supposed to 'be' someone to everyone else, but never really meet ourselves in our own life?  These questions are meant for you to answer for yourself -- there is no 'right' or 'wrong' answer, just musings to ponder as you consider yourself.
