Nobody should put your interests above their own. Nobody has a right to your energy/attention/resources. Give them freely & without conditions but do it because you choose to & not because you're asleep.
Do nothing out of a sense of duty or obligation & do nothing out of fear, greed or guilt.
For me it's about listening to my heart. What emotions are flowing through me? Why did I get that uneasy feeling? Your heart & conscious mind should work together.
It's not about judgement, it's about identifying the divergence & then choosing how to respond.

As a hunch, 50% of my decision making in the past was driven by one of these
Nice insights
Lots of work still to be dine!
There's always work to be done, if there wasn't you'd cease to exist in physical form. That's why you need many teachers. The best teachers will take the form of a perfect mirror, clearly reflecting your own flaws & distortions.
If you seek validation in the external, you become easy to manipulate.
The trick is first observing those unconscious reactions in the moment. Step into the role of your inner witness. Resist the urge to intervene & just observe (without judgement).
Then look to your beliefs to help better understand your actions.
