The question of responsibility

[ChickenInSpace]

Do you have to do anything?

Your desires being inherently followed with your most significant efforts, is not your only responsibility to follow these desires and not suppress them, whether they consider others or only the empowerment of the self?

Why suppress the desires of the self into any willful and obligatory "responsibility" if the self will inherently follow such responsibilities? Why change the self if the self is inherently loved?

I have come to see that I can do something I had a dislike or aversion against due to preconceptions or ideology and still be true to myself.

I would argue that the reasons behind the action is more important than the action. If I chose to work a 9-5 or end up in the situation of having to accept at 9-5 or be homeless I can still do this and adhere to my values. People will think you somewhat strange but that is usually the norm. I'd also rather engage in a social job where my non-job ideas can spread.

I consider my job the empowering of others as I have the luxury of selling products which actually help scientists so I'm thinking there may be some preconceptions on what you perceive as following your desire.

I'd also like to point out that the road to manifesting your desire (to be free and write books and uplift people) could very well go via the route of, for example, being a real estate agent.
