Two: Daily baby steps give results over time, be aware and consistent.
Three: Evaluate your progress, a decision should not be in terms of what you like and what you do not like, it should be in terms of what works.
Four: There are many paths, be open and curious.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.
You have to trust in something your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Do it - or let it be done - the thing for which your heart has always been waiting.
What is the risk?
Losing everything?
Then lose everything.
The experience of failure?
Then experience failure, taste it, find a new kind of success within it.
Rejection?
Then open up to the glory of rejection, open your heart wide to the ones who reject you, see their pain and forgive them for it.
Ridicule?
Then fall in love with those voices of ridicule, seeing them as your beloved new-borns, your own voices in need of kind attention.
Life is too precious to waste, and too immediate to postpone, and the 'worst' that could happen is a broken body or a shattered image, neither of which are really who you are.
Nothing to lose, except perhaps your imaginary pride, your frightened ego which secretly longs to burn in the furnace of living anyway…
