Selfless~What to care about yourself less?…doesn’t sound like a virtue when I think of it that way. More like a disservice, and a betrayal to the self.
They say there is power in self sacrifice but they don’t tell you that the power isn’t always allocated to you.
To put others first is great just simultaneously manage to impart the truth, that in doing so you don’t come second. That’s self love and there is nothing wrong with selflessness.
May we be blessed in understanding and striking that balance. & may we be compassionate when we find ourselves ruminating on the times we haven’t. No regrets just progress.
{No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do} (As-Sajdah 32:17)
