It's only natural to look after oneself first, but one can build a nurture that look beyond self and look towards others. There is no one you genuinely put first, that won't put you first. Even God is not an exception of this rule. When He said "Seek first His Kingdom, and everything other thing He would add to you.
The key to abundance, overflow, and lacking nothing is to put others first. When you have a pressing need, still consider its cost for others. When you are asked to go a mile, you can go twain.
Every act of service would not go unrewarded, maybe not directly from the expected, but it sure would be. The law of seed and harvest time is as certain as the law of morning and night.
Have you even being asked a question or a favour and you answered or acted in favour of the other person. And with delight, the person reward you more greatly than he would, if you had being self conscious all the way ?
If you are alone in the house, there is a way you would behave, that you would never attempt to, when you are in the house with another person. It's because then, you have the consciousness of another being around.
In like manner, if we can be conscious of others in any kind of relationship we have, we would behave differently and better than when we just think of oneself.
In looking after the interest of others, one's interest would be met. Don't care too much about yourself, that you care less about others. You need others as well as others need you.
The key to finding fulfilment, is to look in the direction of others. Billionaires are those who look for other's needs and meet them, and are then rewarded for it. The limiting thoughts of the poor is that they always look in self direction and still lack everything.
The fastest route to self satisfaction and fruitful relationships is to look after others. Looking towards others might appear as though you are looking away from yourself, but it's an alternative and indirect way to look after yourself.
One way to love yourself is to love others, because many others you have loved, would love you in return. Which would make you being loved, more than when you only love yourself and no one to love you back.
