Being Unselfish

Strangely enough, one of the most unselfish things we can do is to be selfish. By trying to be unselfish and just looking out for another person creates a burden on the other person, thereby forcing them to be aware of your struggles to please them. This only creates further anxiety on the other person already reacting to other burdens unrelated to you and them. It is best to allow that person, unless they openly reach out for your help, to deal with the problem the best way they know how, and to simply be there for them when they request your help. There is no need to create a hero. Hero's come naturally. They are not forced.
