This depends on where you are in your inner development and how self-indulgent you are. It looks from the question that you are very advanced and not mired in self-indulgence like most people. That’s great, and I congratulate you.
The only thing that I’d correct here is the idea that following one’s whims is natural. We live in a whim-friendly culture, so we perceive indulgence as the norm. But it doesn’t have to be.
