The Frierdiker Rebbe Says

One should constantly ask himself; which one of my souls is currently giving his opinion...

you mean things are so grey that it is hard to tell?

They can be. Ahavas Atzmo can be very blinding...

Sometimes its very hard to tell....for instance when you don't feel up to getting moving, and its a choice of sleeping (then I'll have more energy later, and can daven better, v'chulu) and getting up to pray now (then I daven earlier, b'zman, and with a more open mind, more comfortable, bc I'm not fussing over time). Which is which....

A question of walking out of a shiur to daven mincha now or waiting till 5 minutes before shkiah and possibly missing it, but sitting thru the whole shiur.

Get it?

True, but (as you write) that's only sometimes. In the leter above, the Rebbe shows how even at those times, there are ways to recognize which side it's coming from.
