Most people do it to some extent.
But if you are headed from Texas to Arizona, and you keep stopping and then starting, and then go backwards, and then forwards, you end up eternally retreading the same area, and never reach your destination.
The tendency of the ego is to resist change, because change threatens what it perceives to be identity. It doesn't want to die, so it resists the thoughts that would actually bring it what its wanting.
So how does one stay on the straight and narrow path? My ultimate goal for this life is to be able to walk the steps of light successfully when it's all over. And to have a good life to share with others in the afterlife.
A lesser goal is to experience unity here in 3D. It starts with my mind, and staying focused on thoughts that bring me comfort and joy. But also being willing to get out of my comfort zone and expand. To reach into the Light for something more. To take on more catalyst and process and integrate it. That's what I understand the path to be about.
