Be selfish

I received some good words of wisdom yesterday. As a nurturer, I give and give so much of myself, and I enjoy helping and being there for others. While sometimes compromising more than I would like, I give with nothing expected in return, and I never really understood selfish people. But I think we all get to a point when we hope to get some reciprocity, even if it's no more than a kind "thank you". But I was told, "Be true to your own spirit," even if it requires being selfish, because at the end of the day nobody else is going to take care of you but you. So be selfish and get what you want.
