Selfless or Selfish?

Selfless and Selfish... they're really two sides of the same coin. Since consciously beginning this journey of awakening a few years back my intention became to live my life as selflessly as possible. Lately I've come to realize that I can only be truly selfless by sometimes being selfish and not giving in to the egoic needs of others. Only when I become selfish at times and focus on my own self nurturing can I truly feel whole and operate from a place of love and total selflessness.This in turn becomes empowered giving, without any feeling of self sacrifice, that is infused with pure joy...no greater feeling. So yes I am both selfish and selfless :)
