Acceptance and Will

[Edinburgh]

A positively polarized person doesn't weigh each step. Their frame of mind is always from the perspective of serving others, while being true to themselves and act in loving the self when it's called for. Loving the self in a positive way is obviously necessary, but I don't think it's viewed as evening every action out on the 50/50 scale.

This is a very profound statement ... it's almost as if to say we should not be 'micro managing' ourselves; after having made The Choice, we would move along that path (of STO for example), but without having to 'worry' about each action per se. (however, of course, not causing harm, preventing free will etc)

Certainly I have felt this myself. I have felt my internal perspective change measurably after making The Choice and meditating / reflecting daily for a year. I do now frame my thinking from the perspective of the other more often. But also think/ make some actions for myself. On the whole becoming more STO.

But at the same time, still being 'natural' and not weighing every action minutely.
