"Sometimes you need to be selfish to be selfless." - Edward Albert
In order to be of service to the world.
Of true, powerful service.
You must show up at your very best.
You must present the best version of yourself.
And to be the best version of yourself, you have to actively work on yourself.
To work on development and growth.
To be compassionate towards yourself.
To nurture your true self.
To cultivate a foundation of truth and authenticity.
To love yourself, in order to love others.
This is the power which you hold.
This is the power of your best self.
Your authentic self.
