Work with your own unacceptable stuff rather than struggling against it, you do this with loving kindness for yourself.   Instead of perceiving there is a problem and a solution, just keep your mind and heart open to whatever arises and maybe the perceived problem goes away.

Your overall obligation in life is to complete your own journey, but what good is self-cultivation and wisdom if you keep it for yourself?  Knowledge is meant to shared, if you can use it on behalf of others along your path through life, you should do so.

Attaching yourself to gross energies such as liking this, hating that, rejecting experiences habitually, indulging in another, will lead you to a heavy detached life.  Love all things, work daily on your habitual tendencies, and live in the world without attachments, let go.

When you feel stuck, cooperation with others on a common goal, and with concentration on the goal, will help you dissolve your barriers.  If you are free of all selfish exterior motives and are united in this joint task or goal, this can also dissolve the hardness of egotism.

Quote: To create new habits first make a small effort.
