Episode 3528:

A self-centered person shifts every conversation to themselves, often without realizing it, while selfishness involves consistently prioritizing personal desires over others' needs. Dr. Margaret Rutherford clarifies how self-awareness stands apart, it’s about acknowledging personal wants and needs while valuing those of others equally. By recognizing these distinctions, you can break free from harmful conditioning, embrace vulnerability, and start prioritizing yourself without guilt.

Quotes to ponder:

"You keep in mind your own needs or wants, and treat them with as much consideration as you treat the wants and needs of others."

"You’re giving yourself the message that you’re important, a message that maybe you never or rarely received."

"It may feel awkward at first to do things like this for yourself, but it’s so worth it. Because you’re worth it."
