I caught a glimpse of The View on tv yesterday and saw Whoopi Goldberg talking about how she was raised. It is very unusual that she became a performer because she cares so little about how others see her. She talked about how she was raised and credited her mother with the attitude she has today. She said that her mom use to tell her that she always needed to be happy with herself first. If she tried to make others happy it would always be a changing target, one that could never be satisfied. If she just tried to make herself happy she wouldn’t worry about what others thought and could remain happy with herself most of the time. She called it being selfish and I agree. I think we should all be just a little bit more selfish. Try making yourself happy for a little while and see what happens.
