Coffee For Your Soul

Selfishness is the best way to kill a friendship, relationship, business venture or any other kind of interaction with, well, anyone.  It is a lacking of consideration for other people.  Simple and lethal. When it's all about you, other people suffer.  They may not tell you but over time it will kill a relationship.  You don't notice as much because, well, it's all about you.  Selfishness in it's simplest form is a lack of consideration for others.  It comes out when you're driving and other don't drive the way you think they should.  (Isn't that always the case?)  It comes out when the two of you can't decide what TV show to watch.  It becomes a battle of wants over things that, most of the time, are not worth the argument or the effort.  It becomes a battle of wills and the will many times is just selfishness. Being selfish is a spiritual battle that's not just between you and God.  Your selfish actions are a distraction from God to those around
