Self-focus

 Self-focus


The more you focus on yourself, the more selfless you can become. Many people will strongly disagree with this statement. Most believe that the more you focus on yourself, the more conceited you are. This can be viewed from a completely different lens. The other lens shows that the more you develop yourself, the more able you are to donate your time to others.


Being selfish and selfless are both weak traits. Being selfish means that you simply only care about what the world does for you. Being selfless means you only care about the world, and not yourself. They are antonyms, but neither is positive. 


Strive to be self-developed, self-focused, self-confident, self-loving. Don’t strive to be selfless. Strive to become the best version of you so you can be the best version to others. Self-focus is necessary to properly love and care for others. When you become self-focused, you can finally become what most people define selfless as. 


You are a selfless person if you put others first, but not in a good way. Putting others first takes away from your happiness. It takes away from your confidence. It takes away from your drive to be better. Not developing yourself will, in turn, take away from what you can give to others. Selflessness is foolishness.


A selfish person is the opposite. They look to what others can do for them rather than what they can do for others. Every action they take is based on the opinions of others, making them selfless as well. So is selfishness actually selflessness?


The only difference is putting others first for their sake versus putting others first for your sake. Both include putting others first. What you need to do is put yourself first. Become a self-confident person by developing yourself. Become a self-aware person by discovering yourself. Become a self-focused person by learning yourself. All of these will help you become a much better person for others.


Selfishness equals selflessness. Become self-focused.

untitled 729

  As if they’d never end I can feel the end begin Just as it did before I walked out, shut the door Won’t step foot there anymore Flashbacking, backtracking To warm water splashing As the sand swirls And I hold you close to me Because I know it makes you feel Like it makes me feel Now it’s realer And faces once familiar Have become distant characters In our memories of yesterday Where was I? Did I find what I tried to find? Because in some ways I feel blind To the thoughts of my younger mind Somewhere in the meantime I got caught up in this screen time Lost the deeper meaning Just following the street signs

  “You coming or what!?” My sunburnt eyelids slowly opened to the same bright sun as always. Half my body hung over the side of the bus stop bench. I still felt hazy from last night’s fix. “Dude, I’m doing you a favor here!” I looked up to be blinded by a bright red car holding up traffic at the intersection. Horns were blaring behind him as he scolded me from the car. It seemed like the horns didn’t even bother him as he sat back in his seat with his head nearly touching the roof and his eyes stuck on the dirty windshield in front of him. Confused as to what was happening, I got up and cleared the dust from my eyes. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to the dented passenger side door of that red car. He rolled the window up and let out a deep sigh as I approached.  “It’s Sam, how ya doin?” “Hey I’m M-” “It’s not short for anything either, it’s just Sam. What you feelin man?” “I’m, uh, I’m pretty, uhhh-” “Music, man, music!” He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. “What ...

Sometimes I still feel like Mentally I am here Sailing to shore with the wake Maybe I wish I was Maybe it’s just my way To escape Whatever it is- Who cares? Because when there are waves I don’t even notice Because the sun shines Bright, where the trees break And the waves are no longer danger Instead they fade into The sounds of the lake Superior to be 19, Grand Marais 20 whatever I feel it everyday Seagulls squawk But to me they say Happy birthday Even though it’s just another Ordinary day Though a sky like this Doesn’t just make for another day … When life was a mess I never even prayed When I had no faith You still showed your face And I still think about it Every single day.
