Exclamation Selfishness

Hi All,
I am trying to work through some issues that I have with my own selfishness. In the past month I have been told by two different people that I have not been a good friend and not been anything less than selfish. I will agree that I have indeed acted selfishly and it has made me wonder how long I have been acting this way.. (Probably my whole life). I do realize though that in order to really accomplish major personal development that there does need to be a certain level of selfishness involved.Intellectually I understand that it is important to be a balance of selfish and selfless, but I have not really arrived at a point where I can really understand that emotionally. I definitely know that if I want to raise a family which I have always wanted to do, I need to come into better balance. I was hoping that people could weigh in on this issue. I think that there needs to be more selfilessness all the way around.
