Selflessness is overrated.

Most of us are raised with the view that helping others will enrich us, which is not entirely false. However, this societal expectation, and issues of low self-esteem and guilt often undermine our goals of helping others. 

There are also other ways to bring warmth into the lives of others. Why not try channeling your energy into your personal passions? We can bring much joy to others through our own talent and enthusiasm.
