Me before We

“To have a strong “we” mindset, we must first have a strong “me” mindset; and since “me” is a part of “we”, we can’t have a strong “we” without a strong “me.”

Society, culture, traditions and recently “leadership” ideologies are heavily focused on what we can do for others.  However, statements such as “we before me” which are intended to represent teamwork and belonging cannot effectively operate if each individual “me” that makes up the “we” itself is not healthy and strong. This is why Theory of Self-Relativity designates “Self” as the most important word ever and “others” as the most dangerous word for self-improvement. Because as stated throughout Theory of Self-Relativity, selflessness (self “less”) and self-sacrifice is not righteous; it’s self-abuse.

In order to be good to others we must first learn to be good to our own Self and this all begins by learning to bring the focus onto the Self. As discussed in Theory of Self Relativity, we must learn to live a centered-self life so that everything that we deal with during our lifetime will be relative to us from a centered-self position. Centered-self is not the same as self-centered. Although both prioritize the Self first before others, centered-self does not do so at the expense of others and neither does it prioritize others before the Self. Centered-self creates a core position for each person to relate to everything and everyone else during their lifetime so that they remain central and important in every interaction and relationship.
