3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION 
The great thing about having a talent is you just watch it work - whereas with other things it involves struggle and effort, with your abilities its effortless! That's why I have no doubt at all that in life it's best to pursue a career in your talent. It may involve considerably more risk than a safer path, but you'll be so much happier and fulfilled and get paid for doing what you love!

But a settled character is only a means to an end. It means that free from daily "firefighting", my consciousness is free to soar to higher levels, and ultimately to be permanently resident there. Ultimately, this life experience is something I will dispassionately observe rather than be "lost" in. I've been lost in it for long enough!
