Our primary concern needs to be doing what is called for in ways appropriate to the occasion in each situation as it arises, regardless of what we want to happen!!! We cannot allow our wants/desires to lead us along the way! It doesn't matter what we want! It matters what we do-- and how closely that matches up with what needs to be done moment by moment throughout our life. How well we live in service to the here/now using the gifts of our original nature and innate virtues (The things we are best at) is the measure of the quality of our life. We cannot live to have our way and get what we want and think we have done anything worth doing. Spoiled children do as much. It is our place to live in ways that bring forth what we have to offer the circumstances of our life. Our character is coded into our DNA. We champion it in allowing it complete freedom of movement in rising to meet the moment and do there what needs to be done. When we toss that aside in deference to our wants and wishes, we betray our capabilities and our heart isn't in anything we do. The cure for that is to do what we are built to do, letting heart lead the way-- regardless of what our head has in mind. This is the recipe for the kind of success we are capable of having by living the life we are capable of living.
