How to begin

You have to take the first step of a very long journey. Make it small and manageable. Make it realistic. Be responsible. And know that you will fail. Be humble in your pursuits to better yourself. Make yourself valuable because you’re the only one who can achieve that. No one else. Start slow and small and be your own solution. Stop looking outside yourself for the antidote. You know who you are, you know the depths. Look at it straight on. Open up to awareness. All of it. Mostly the failures. Then you have a place to aim. One or two steps ahead of you is plenty because it can be maintained and cultivated. And then, keep it up.
