How do you know when you are doing something mostly for yourself or for others? Sometimes, some people may claim that certain things which they are doing is not for their own benefit, but rather for the people around them or for the bigger picture. I am not trying to say that it is wrong to do things for yourself. This is because you must first love and care for yourself before you can do the same to others. What I am trying to say here is that know clearly who you are doing certain things for so that you do not get emotionally imbalance when circumstances take place.

Haha, actually it is very hard to judge if someone is doing something for himself/herself, or doing it for others. The only person who is the most clear is yourself. Ask yourself who you are doing certain things for, be prepared to be disappointed or under-appreciated when you are doing for other people. It is never easy to be selfless, easier to be selfish. But if everyone takes the east way out, will the world ever be a better place? Take the challenge to be selfless, you learn more about the society around you too! :)
