You are not being selfish. You are actually Selfless.

Let’s get one thing straight, taking care of you is not selfish, it’s essential. If you're not pouring into yourself, you won't have the capacity to pour into others. You can't give from an empty cup.

If you're not sharpening your mind, strengthening your body, building your energy, or living at the standard you know deep down you're capable of, then you're not in a position to fully serve anyone else. Your influence, your impact, your ability to uplift others, all of it is limited by how well you're taking care of you.

You want to give more to the people you love? Then level up. Do you want to inspire others? Then become someone worth looking up to. Your health, your discipline, your mindset, your energy, these aren't luxuries. They're your foundation.

When you rise, you lift others with you. When you lead by example, you give others permission to do the same. But if you’re constantly running on fumes, giving half-effort, living below your potential, then no matter how good your intentions are, you’re short-changing both yourself and the people you care about.

The moral of the story? Become the strongest, sharpest, highest version of yourself, so that you can give, serve and lead at your fullest potential.

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s the most selfless thing you can do.
