Dear Agony Aunt,
I was told that to ascend, I must work on myself.
This I did. I gave up three-quarters of my business, turned down consulting assignments, and talked to people about ascension, service-to-others, how one creates one’s own destiny, etc. I was also involved in two charity projects. I believed by doing all these, I would be on the right path to ascension.
In early 2012, I was broke. I had hardly enough money to feed my family and pay the mortgage. To make ends meet, I borrowed money from a friend.
When I did not ascend, I was told that I did not work on myself enough to ascend.
My question is how much is enough?
In Jan 2013, I was totally lost and even thought of applying for bankruptcy.
In March 2013, I went back to work, rebuilt my business, and stopped my involvement in charity projects. By October 2013, I made enough to pay back the money my friend loaned me.
Aunt, I need your advice.
Should I go back and do what I thought was the correct path – helping and teaching others (service-to-others), or should I just continue what I am doing now – helping myself more than others (service-to-self)?
The former has led me to near bankruptcy and I can tell you that it is no fun being poor. If I go with the latter, it’s unlikely that I will meet the 51% STO mark for graduation.
Love,
Broke Wanderer
