I think its much more simple. It really does just come down to whether you are motivated by love or fear and nothing else. I dont think it has anything to do with whether you want something for yourself or for the sake of achieveing your own goals. I think by default when you follow a goal that is truly for the love of it, it will always be of the highest benifit for everyone. Because you will be living by example, you will be showing others how they can be happy to.
For example, I am a singer and DJ, but I have a huge fear of performing in public. I have managed to get over it enough to get behind the decks, but Im still really scared of doing anything more upfront! Yesterday i was asked to introduce a guy who was performing on a stage which required me to get on the mic. I was petrified but felt to embarrassed to say no. I sat there talking to this guy, my head filled with fear not really hearing anything he was telling me, thinking about how much I needed to get over this for me to ever reach my goals in life. Then it dawned on me to forget about all of that and do act out of love and to introduce this guy the best way I could so he felt comfortable and do the best job i could for the lady employing me. It really helped a lot, I relaxed and did the job just fine. So I acted out of love and in doing so helped myself, because afterwards I felt well proud of myself. When you act out of love you know that everything will work out just fine, you trust that things are just as they should be and that you can concentrate on serving others and that you will get everything you need. Is that selfish because ultimately I am being driven by the desire to be happy, at peace and forfilled. You can get away from this and this is the beauty of the world, I dont have to sacrafice what i want for others to be a lightworker, I just have to be sincere about what I really love and want in life. Thank God that it is this way :-)
