As I have mentioned before, I am working on my first book this year. One of the goals on my life list is to complete a memoir. Now of course my life has only begun so it is just one in a series. 
I have begun the process and have committed to completing it this year. I am very excited and can not wait to share with everyone!
So why am I writing the book? FOR ME! Yes that is right, I am doing it all for myself. I am not doing it to be rich, or famous or win a writing award. I am doing it because I want to share my stories with all of you out there. I am doing it because it makes me happy and I deserve to do something for myself!
This might sound selfish but it is OK to be selfish. You are allowed to have personal goals that their only purpose is to make you smile, laugh and be happier.
What do you want to do this year for yourself? What is a goal that is all about you and something you have always wanted to achieve? Don’t you deserve the opportunity to go after it?

I am thinking that you might enjoy the writings of the incomparable Ayn Rand, who wrote extensively on the virtue of selfishness. Her philosophy is called Objectivism, but you don’t need to be a philosopher to enjoy her books, like “Atlas Shrugged.” Here’s a link to the Ayn Rand Institute: http://www.aynrand.org/site/PageServer?pagename=objectivism_intro
Her writing changed my life: helped give me the courage to be selfish.
