there's a difference between judgement and discernment and everything is relative. when i find myself getting hung up on whether i'm doing the right thing, am i being too selfish etc. (which happens all the time) i believe it means i've lost focus and am distracting myself with meaningless judgement.

no big deal, i just catch myself and get back on track by doing what's in front of me in the moment, without all this agonizing which gets nowhere.

i've learned some simple truths: spirituality is doing the next right thing, don't need to sit around and wait for some explosion or whatever..... and the only effort worth making is to keep myself on track, to live as best as possible in integrity, and everything else takes care of itself.

it's the best news for lazy people (like me). no effort brings the most results, sounds paradoxical, but i swear it works. i've reached points where my body takes over and does what it has to do, and i'm an observer along for the ride.

what does that have to do with serving the self? i don't need to make that judgement. everything flows, that's when i know i don't need to worry about anything, it's all taking care of itself. and if someone shows up that i can help, it just naturally happens.

for me to be in that space is the highest service, to myself and the universe. like i said, it's all relative, it's different for every person, nobody can tell anybody else what's best for them, they can't possibly know. but it's cool to hear people's stories, there's a lot to be learned from that sometimes (or not).
