A paradise of our own
There is a deep-seated feeling in us that to be enlightened or spiritual is to live in a cave in the mountains or to be a hermit. These are Ego-inspired concepts that move us away from the pursuit of being happy. 
Your Higher Self is made up of unconditional love, and it does not seek to torture its earthly part. 
Many people still believe that you should give all your energies to work, to other people. This is wrong, though in the spirit of the old destructive energies. 
When we give away our energies, we deprive ourselves of opportunities to do good. Living for yourself is not selfishness, as we have been brought up to believe. 
It is important to realize that we are all free and equal. Allow others to live their lives and yourself to live yours. You have to learn to say "No" when you want to say "No". 
Build your own paradise, live your own life, not someone else's. 
We are born to be ourselves. To live your own life is to solve your own lessons, not to let others cheat you.
