Today I learned. I learned watching myself move through my experience and working to express how I feel is the best course. I am clear and moving forward when I am acknowledging how I feel and expressing that to the necessary relationships.
This reminded me of the lesson to move forward with love.
When making decisions think: Am I comfortable with what I am doing? Is this a true expression? Am I working to vocalize my truth?
This avoids the game. There is nothing to play. Life is an experience, and working hard for yourself, your family and the people who love you is the highest form of self-love. You cannot control other people and their reactions, but you certainly can control who you are and what you decide is right for you.
That is your primary concern: Is what I am doing what is best for me?
Some people may argue that being and acting in that statement is selfish. To that, the argument is that we are selfish by nature. However, we can create a better environment for the people in our lives by pouring our overfilling cup into others. Where we have excess, we have the moral obligation to give.
This can get into your talents, skills, and value that you provide for people: What you are naturally inclined toward, will open many doors for you because the things we are drawn toward invoke our curiosity. Of course, we must maintain a healthy relationship with whatever draws us in, but done correctly it can open our minds. Because we are naturally inclined to the thing/idea/habit we will naturally grow in it. Interest in it will encourage more action towards it. Eventually, you will be able to share whatever you've developed with the people around you. This is when the magic happens. Because you are a master of this talent/thing your insight or creation will be valuable to the people you encounter purely by virtue of the fact that you have more time invested into it than the other people on the planet.
