How do you distinguish the difference between acting with self- love in mind and actions where ‘self-will runs riot’?
“Self-love for me is when I’m doing something that I know is healthy for me, spiritually, mentally, or physically. Sometimes my self-will has taken control and I’m doing something to satisfy my ego, such as buying a $100 shirt, trying to manipulate, or otherwise, acquire something to satisfy my immediate wants. This is sometimes at the sacrifice of my own long term health and happiness. I guess I end up often having to ask myself what is my motivation when a situation doesn’t feel 100% like the right thing to do. I still don’t always make the best decisions, but I do more often as time goes on.” – Adam on self-will run riot.

Time is the filter. If an issue comes up over and over and over and over. I decide to act with self love. I’ve done that very recently with a personal relationship

When i dont do things with a prayerful attitude thats when self will comes in. Which usually doesnt end with hugs and puppies.
LOL. Tooo true. No hugs and puppies when we throw our spiritual principles out the window.
