Kind and compassionate are not my default settings.
I tend to be a little judgmental and often consider how a situation affects my personal interests.
I’ve noticed that my selfishness also increases my daily stress and worry.
I’m not the only one.
There’s a growing body of research indicating that putting the needs of others before your own leads to more happiness, satisfaction and joy.
But, for most (like me) being selfless doesn’t come naturally – it takes work.
Anger is easier than patience.
Yelling is easier than self-control.
The journey won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.
