Gal 5:24  "And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." 


Here is the thing, Christ's crucifixion to His own comfort and life, is what you walk into if you really decide to belong to Him. You walk into His life, through dying to yourself. Your current passions and desires need to be laid to rest to follow after the Absolute Love of Christ.


Gal 5:25, 26  "If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Gal 6:1  Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted." 


If you are living by your receiving the Holy Spirit, stop relying on yourself and your status before other people, begin to live in a way that reflects the life of the Holy Spirit within you. Thinking that you are the center of everything, trying to get ahead of everyone else and having your chief concern be what others have that you don't his is not the way to open your life to God's Spirit.
Here is the application of love, watch out for your own heart in being tempted to do things on your own, but also watch out for others who might stumble, pick them up and help them get back on track in relying on the Spirit. 
Be careful to not try to get them to rely on you, but point them to the Love of God and walking in the strength that His Spirit supplies. 
God is Absolute Love, so if you want to walk in the Spirit's strength it will look like bearing the burdens of others in love, this is the entirety of the law of Christ's commands. He is Absolute Love. He bears all of our burdens through His death on the cross and His reign now forever interceding for us in our weakness. He is Yahweh, the Absolute Love.


Gal 6:2  "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." 


You are out of touch with reality if you think you are something without the Love of Christ and the presence of the Spirit. He is life, health, breath and strength to everyone who lives. You cannot do anything without Him allowing it or producing it in you. 
So you will have to give an account of what your works have produced. On your own they will produce only judgement and wrath. In the Spirit you will produce the righteousness of God's love.
You will have to bear the burden of the direction you took.


Gal 6:3-5  "For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.  But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load."


So share the good results of listening to God's commands and following after them. 
Do not be fooled yourself, you cannot fool God or put things past Him. If your only doing what you think will earn you favor, your heart is not filled with love for God and your obedience is not of faith, your not going to reap fullness of life and God's grace. 
God's grace comes as gift in the Spirit. Pursue life in Him not your own sense of self worth. Worth comes only from relationship to God in the grace of the gift of Jesus Christ. So keep on the path, it is difficult, but never give up and you will find abundant, fulfilling eternal life in the love of God's presence.


Gal 6:6-9  "One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."
