This means doing whatever makes sense to prepare for a role on the planet that will be fun and that also will provide an example for others. You want them to say, "Look at that [lawyer / doctor / musician / writer / artist]. He is so good at his work and he also finds the time to help anybody who needs it," That is much better than, "Who is that guy? He has some kind of agenda but I don't even want to know what he's really up to. Kinda creepy."What you say here is hugely important ... when we're trying too hard, we get in the way and out of the flow, right? We turn into a rock in the stream instead of a leaf and that's just not fun for anyone.
You can relax about doing enough. Do what moves you and feel no guilt or longing. Remember that Ra reminds us to achieve balance.
Yeah, be in your dharma, follow your bliss, be available when someone actually needs help but don't push it. Nice. I wish someone had told me this when I was 18, or 25, or ... oh, nevermind.
