Am I being selfish?

Now, no one wants to be known as a selfish person.  Who wants to be known as the person who only thinks of themselves and cares for no one.  Are there not times in your life you feel like you just have nothing left to give?  That moment you just want to run away to your secret cave for a little bit to re-charge your batteries?  I know for me both my hands are up and I have learned that there is nothing selfish about it.  At the end of the day your heart knows if it was for selfish reasons or not, and that is between you and yourself.  I am not here to judge, but I will say when there is no selfish intent, then no you are not being selfish at all.  I have my moments when I know I need to run off to my secret cave and devout time to rest, a project I am working on, or time to study and read.

When I allocate time for that I know that when I come walking out of my secret cave I am coming back a stronger person.  A person that understands that it would be selfish of me to not take time for what is needed.  I understand we are in this world where we hear over and over again "I am on my grind".  Well, I can't be on my grind 24/7, 365 days a year, because I am not everyone.  I am me and God made me and created me the way that I am.  All I can do is stay in my lane, focus on what needs to get done, and when that time comes to take a step back to re-charge.  While we might struggle with making sure we are not being selfish it really comes down to what is the intent, but only you can answer that question for you.
