You're not being selfish for refusing that phone call or skipping that errand or ignoring the laundry for an hour while you put words onto the page.
The world won't end because you picked your art over chairing the bake sale.
It's okay to say "no," that you have plans, even if those plans are just between you and the page (or you and the piano, or you and the canvas).
We make time for what we love and value, and we should, above all, value the reason we were put on this planet, for the contribution we're meant to make--"selfish" or otherwise.
Be Brilliant!
