RE: Building a Better Body (Part 3): The Selfish Art
Good post.
I agree with you; many will see you as being selfish, especially family if you put yourself first.

Thank you, rebecca! It’s a touchy subject, because “putting yourself first” brings to mind knocking everyone else out of the way to get to the front of the line. That’s not what’s being suggested. A better metaphor would be freeing yourself from your seatbelt first in a sinking car, so you can be maximally effective at saving everyone else.
And really, it’s not even about who’s first or second, but realizing that you and the other are equal, so it doesn’t matter which one benefits. But you are in a better position to do the most good where your greatest power resides, which is in your own life.
Regarding fitness, the greater your success, the greater your ability to educate and inspire.
