From a neuroscience perspective, the object I love, devote myself to, and sacrifice for is an ‘extension of myself.’ The brain is inherently selfish. Selfishness is a necessary emotion and attitude for survival. Only when I exist can others exist. Yet, we often see people making sacrifices for others. How can I love someone other than myself? What I dedicate and sacrifice for someone is what my brain perceives as an ‘extended me.’ Ultimately, loving others is an extension of loving myself. Therefore, self-love becomes a foundation and a tool for loving others. If ‘self-love’ is healthy, then loving others is healthy too. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The most difficult clients to consult are those who are simultaneously greedy and fearful. They don't take action because they strongly believe in their ideas, but on the other hand, they are overwhelmed by fear and don't trust the consultant's advice. It's a very exhausting life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
