Self-projected authority comes from a defined G centre connected to the throat, with no faster authority ahead of it. The G governs direction and identity, so your decision doesn't ask whether you want it or whether it's worth it, but whether this is the direction you're going. And direction is something you have to say before you can hear it.
You'll recognise it here: talking to someone, the answer arrives suddenly, and they didn't actually advise you; thinking it through alone gets progressively blurrier; and you have a definite sense of 'that isn't like me' even when you can't locate what's off.
Running well, this gives your life a fairly consistent line even when it looks erratic from outside. Blocked, the usual fault is the wrong audience: choosing someone who gives opinions, so what you end up hearing is their direction rather than yours. The technical key is therefore selection — you need a pair of ears, not a consultant. Find someone who won't rush to solve it, finish your sentences, and the answer will be in them.
