Of course, many of us know that it’s important to help others. Helping people do things requires open heart patients and commitment... But at the end of the day, the most difficult thing is to actually help yourself. No, not help the ego, but help your spiritual self. If you don’t understand that it takes time and effort to be a good person then things will never be clear in life. Why is it so hard to work on yourself? Because your ego, demons, dark forces and many times the very people around you don’t want you to work on helping yourself. They want to convince you that change and self-advancement aren't needed.
They will say you don’t have to do the hard work to be that better person, but nothing could be further from the truth. We have to constantly work on ourselves, otherwise, we will never be able to help others at the level that we were meant to. Heaven has its role in helping, but it can’t force you to change. You have to meet the universe halfway. If you are serious about your life, then you will take your advancement as paramount to helping others... because if you are staying the same all the time, then you really aren’t able to move with the flow of the universe effectively enough to help as much as you think that you are helping... in terms of the people around you...
