As we go through life...we collect ideas that become our personal truths...some we discard along the way...However, there are other personal truths that we tend to cling to, even if they are detrimental to us.
Several years ago...I took a long hard look at my list of personal beliefs...some were benificial to me, but most were toxic, outdated or downright ridiculous. To say that putting yourself first isn't in your makeup...is all three of these things. As well as worrying about what others think about us.
I now know that 98% of people care little about what I think or what I do...They care more about thier own lives. We cant wait for others to validate, laud or honour us...we must do that for ourselves.
