How to enjoy the process

Tristan is a soft, blank slate

I’m reading the works of Osho and he speaks of the exact same thing: that it’s good to be selfish. In that, you need to allow yourself to have happiness and love, and only then will it overflow and illuminate others. The overflowing of love and joy becomes selflessness in its truest.

Thank you for inspiring me

You sound very much like me. I want to live a life of self service but the price of what I lose in my identity is so high! I never seem to give enough to make anyone happy. My health has been severely affected also. I’ve decided that I’ve got to change this pattern of self sacrifice if I’m going to survive. I’ve got one of Osho’s books but I’m struggling with accepting what he has to say about selfishness. Intellectually I understand what he is saying but my heart can’t accept it yet. With time and effort, I recognize the patterns you describe as being in myself as well. If you can do it, so can I! I will learn how to be more selfish because it is for my highest good. If I take better care of myself, I will have more to give.

I recognized

our kindred spirits very recently. Thank you for responding. Once you truly believe you are deserving, then you will receive your heart’s desire. And regardless of the outcome, you will spend your remaining days knowing that you have been true to yourself. It is a scary proposition, but so worth it.

Edit: This was written as an intuitive response meant to encourage you…not a response to imply that I have completely mastered the goal…It is a work in progress :)
