Living Selfishly (yes, that’s OK!)
Hmm… this may not be a perfect fit for a Valentine’s Day post – or maybe it is exactly that!! Because to create a great life for yourself and those around you, you need to learn to live selfishly.

They give and give… but you sense that it’s because they do NOT know how to put themselves first.
