I take your point kat, but I think the difference intended by the original poster is more to do with too much time spent in "being for others" as opposed to time spent in "being for oneself". to some there is no difference in these two things. But to others, we often have to function for partners , family, etc. and no time is spent on the "inner person" , sometimes the effect of this , if it goes on for a long time is we lose touch with ourselves and all our life/living seems to be from reflection in others. and their needs of us. This is not to say "daisy gathering" cant be a wonderful shared event, but the prime choice must rest with you, not them. and I think MiK is accurate on the difference to "smelling the roses", daisy gathering is more pro-active than that.
This is why there seems to be 2 strands at least to the discussion above and why Naemanson and others identify it with the apparent (and real) spiritual nature of "gathering Daisies" because that too is " being for oneself".
