Redefine the Word 'Selfish'

Redefine the Word Selfish

What if Selfish became self-ish? Try taking this word, which has a negative connotation, and giving it a positive spin. It is time to be a little more self-ish!



The First Step:

There is a kabblistic tradition taught by Rabbi Joseph Gelberman that tells us to take each word and imbue each letter with a new, fuller meaning. Try this on for size:



S

Nurture your SPIRIT.


E

ENJOY moments alone.


L

LOVE yourself.


F

Keep FIT and FEEL good.


I

Make your unique needs IMPORTANT.


S

SHOWER yourself with gifts.


H

Be HAPPY and open-HEARTED.
