Is Self-Care Prideful? (8:41)

Hey Fr. Josh,

Is it wrong to invest time and resources in my personal growth? I want to feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. Is there a way to balance self-confidence with humility, and avoid pride? For example, is it okay to prioritize self-care? - Anonymous
