Nearly all humans (wanderers included) think more about their need, themselves, then others, even if we are good people with good intentions, with plenty of compassion in our hearts. At least we think more of ourselves than others, more than the 49:51 ratio. The problem is that often we are not aware of that.
Also, we don't choose our polarity consciously. It is not a choice of our rational human mind (ego), but a soul decision, so it is something natural, spontaneous, no effort is required and it is... just natural.
So, while conscious application of our will is very important in this life, there is no need to worry or trying to force scenarios for us. Be what you are, and what you want to become to be.
that reminds me of some Q'uo I read recently:
the default setting for our culture and society puts one at 20% STO by the time we reach adulthood (ie 80% STS)
http://www.llresearch.org/transcripts/is..._0824.aspx
Quote:Consequently, the default position, shall we say, of one within your society or culture, entrained by the authority figures of parents and teachers of childhood, is quite mixed and is perhaps at a balance point or a resting point, if one pictures a swing of a pendulum, at approximately 25% service to others and 75% service to self. This may seem to be quite cruel, and yet it is the natural result of the interactions of those who are dealing with consensus reality issues, such as survival, making a living, and defending the family against what it perceives to be situations and elements which may tear it apart.
Added to this is the situation which is unusual upon your planet, in terms of planetary entities as a whole throughout the infinite creation of the Father, where entities have come to this third-density experience upon planet Earth having already made service-to-self choices repeatedly within other planetary experiences, so that unconscious and yet very well established habit acts as a passive force which pulls unconsciously at an entity’s ethics or conscience saying, “Please be sure that you have taken care of the self, the family, and the structures that you wish to defend.” This tendency pulls the natural default position or the resting position of the pendulum of service to self versus service to others down to about 20%.
it ain't easy being service oriented given all the applied pressures of gaining an income, getting to work, not having enough time etc etc.
another way of putting it ... 51% STO is as difficult an alignment as 95% STS.
