How to Begin

3 - Really Do what you intend to do
Start living what you wanted to experience all along. Confront the challenges you always wanted to meet.
Try out the new paths you long for deep inside. Change now all factors of your life you felt need changing for a long time.
Don't procrastinate. Don't lose yourself in endless, pointless preparation. Learn what to do by doing it.
And don't seek too much advise. Advise from wellmeaning friends and relatives is the main cause why new ventures fail. Especially people close to you more often than not have not the slightest intention to really understand and encourage what you are reaching for.
You shape your very own, individual path according to your own desires. If you are serious about it, you're highly sure in what you do, - you don't need council or approval from those heading into entirely different directions.
And if you don't know what to do? - If nothing comes to your mind how to find your path to inner expansion, then ...
4 - Make a list
Make a list of all the things you'd like to do or to become. Write down your aspirations, hopes, fantasies, ideals and dreams, everything that comes to your mind, even if it seems utterly absurd and doesn't lead into a spiritual direction.
• Write down the things you want to learn, to master,
to apply
