I was amazed and really upset at being told helping others without cost was selfish but then this person explained why it was selfish and told me: "Carol you are helping so many people change their lives and have a true gift, but by doing this without charging anything you are being really selfish, because it means that you will eventually have to go find a job and work doing something that is not your true calling, so that you have enough money to live and pay your bills. If you do this though, you wont have the time to help others change their lives the way you can and you will be wasting your gift to the world. If you charge what you deserve and help people to make those changes everyday as you do this, you will be doing everyone a much bigger service in life and that will then be totally UNSELFISH!" funny how when someone else puts things into perspective like that that you realise how selfish you are often being without even realising? thanks for this post and the great reminder that being what you or others sometimes perceive to be "selfish" is actually being generous and is OK Carol Dodsley http://www.choosechanges.com http://www.ultimate-confidence.com http://www.specialistguildofexcellenceandsuccess.com/members great article and so true – I used to help others completely for free and thought that was totally unselfish, until one day someone told me it was one of the MOST selfish thigns i could do!

funny how when someone else puts things into perspective like that that you realise how selfish you are often being without even realising?

thanks for this post and the great reminder that being what you or others sometimes perceive to be “selfish” is actually being generous and is OK
