A ray of enlightenment

Is it ok to be selfish? Let me put it another way: Why should you always sacrifice yourself for others? What about you? What are you doing to take care of yourself? You work eight hours (or more) a day so someone else can take the glory? Who's looking out for you? You have to be your own best advocate, as a wise sage once told me. I'm definitely not dumping on giving to others--in the right spirit and right proportions, it's perfectly good and needed. But if you give too much of yourself, how much do you have left to give to yourself? Your well runs dry every so often--all of ours do. We all need some rain occasionally to fill us back up, so we can keep growing--and giving.
