permission to be selfish?

[ragani]

Brezsney says: This is a time when you must put one concern above all others: being true to yourself. Don't you dare elevate other people's needs above your own. Don't you dare let their guilt trips manipulate you into watering down your interesting quirks. You have simply got to devote yourself exuberantly to your idiosyncratic dreams. You owe it to yourself to learn all you can about your innermost secrets and ripening mysteries. You need to be ingeniously obsessed with serving your deepest, wildest, most noble longings.

Hedonism, here I come! Oh wait, he said most noble longings. Huh, not sure I feel like being ingeniously obsessed. Seems like too much work. Meh.
