How we move through the world, as well as our overall life-work, is all based on the progress of our soul.

When we mindfully go through life asking ourselves questions like: What do I really care about? Does this matter? Am I doing *whatever* because of ego, or because of something greater than myself? Who receives the merit of my deeds?

If, when you answer these, you’re spinning your wheels in place, that’s not progressing.

However, if the discomfort you experience when answering the above questions motivates you to get moving and get back to progressing…

… then you’re doing your duty.
