Everytime I experience a person being selfish, I think about how I use to be selfish.
One time, I had friends over and I went to the kitchen to get a drumstick ice cream out of the freezer. My dad saw me, and asked, " what was I doing?" I said, " I was getting me a ice cream"
He said, " Ash, you only have one, and you are about to go eat that ice cream in your room in front of your friends." He then said, " that I could give them a ice cream too, or I could wait for them to leave, to eat the ice cream." I went in my room, and told them, to leave. When my dad saw what I did, he said, " i was selfish and I was mean."
See being selfish is not always about not having enough, its about wanting everything for yourself.
I didn't stop being selfish that day, I went on being self centered for a significant amount of time. My strong desire to win, be first, or independent, only lead to me losing. That energy was great to have, but it was highly misdirected, and misused. Its like they say, what good is it to gain the world, but lose your soul, your family, your friends, your team, your opportunities, and your community.
I had to learn how to lose to gain everything
Once you know how to lose, you're able to see what a real win is
So on Saturday, October 24th, it might not be your community, it might not be your trash, but i guarantee you, it will still be your loss.
