APPLICATION
WHAT TO DO
233
Remember the emotions that accompany these insights, these breakthroughs and try to re-experience what you felt while they occurred.
As a result your understanding will expand. Your fleeting insights will stabilize and become a natural feature of your life.
2 - Always go for the highest choice
If you can choose between a comfortable and an uncomfortable path, - choose the uncomfortable one, that's the right one for you.
See, you already know the comfortable path, because otherwise how could you possibly recognize that it is more comfortable. What we already know always feels more comfortable. It is the unknown that makes us feel awkward and uneasy. It is always the unknown that requires considerable more energy to face than the familiar.
Choose the uncomfortable path because it will lead you out of the known circle of your life, - it is the one that will break your boundaries, - it is the one that will expand the envelope in which you move.
3 - Really carry out what you intend to do
Initiate the actions you want to experience. Intentionally put yourself into those situations and positions that make you really meet the challenges you want to face.
Try out the path you see in front of you. Do change all the components of your current life you feel need changing.
But don't procrastinate, don't lose yourself in endless preparation. Go ahead through learning by doing.
And don't seek too much advise. Advise from well-meaning friends and relatives is one of the major reasons why wellintentioned projects fail. Especially the people close to you
