Taking a Stand

After careful contemplation of my life, I've realized that I do a lot of things so as to not piss other people off. I think I'd rather do things for me for awhile. I realize there is some guilt and responsibility with interacting with other people and I think I'd like to shake that up a bit. I know that I do a TON of things just for me, and I'd like to see how different that would be if I was purposely doing things ONLY for me for a week or two. And then switch it up. Do a LOT of things for other people. I don't want to do this to change relationships with my friends and family, but I think it would be cool to see exactly where I draw the line between doing things for others and doing things for me. I could even look at the short-term vs. long term desires. Some things good for me now probably won't be good for me in the future and some things bad for me now, may be good for me later in life. I guess it'll be an experiment in re-invention.

I think that it will also involve more thinking on my part. What is good for me right now? What isn't? What's my cost benefit? That's quite an analytical way to look at life. Maybe after I do all the thinking, I'll just do what comes to my head and intuitively do that. How different would my life be?
