How selfish are you?- questions to make you think

HOW SELFISH ARE YOU?


Read this with an open mind, it is not to condemn but to show us where we are weak and what we could work on to be better people. We ALL have weaknesses and places we are selfish in and need to work on.
Look inside yourself non judgmentally and see if there is anywhere that you could improve on.

It's a harsh world we live in with all the the selfishness that goes around. People get their feelings hurt and then they take revenge and that causes a lot of selfishness. Revenge belongs to the Lord!! DO NOT TAKE IT!!!  Be forgiving, treat people with respect, give credit where credit is due, love deeply and selflessly, unconditionally, live in peace if you can, show mercy, uplift people, love your neighbor as you love yourself so they DON"T have a reason to take revenge on you, be generous.
 Let us try to be less selfish and more giving of our time, energy, love, money, things, compassion and faithfulness in this new year.
