Pride (of all others the most dang'rous fault) Proceeds from want of sense, or want of thought.
I was not born to get stuff done. I was born to dream it and then move towards it.
Use your imagination until your big dream feels so familiar that its manifestation is the next logical step.
Think about where you're going and never mind where you've been. Don't spend any more time justifying any of that stuff.

So the big question is, "Well, do I just dump all those unwanted things and try to start fresh?" And we say, no. You just set the Tone, where you are, by looking for things to appreciate. And by setting your Tone in a very clear deliberate way, anything that doesn't match it gravitates out of your experience, and anything that does match it gravitates into your experience. It is so much simpler than most of you are allowing yourself to believe.
That is the optimal creative vantage point: To stand on the brink of what is coming, feeling eager, optimistic anticipation-with no feeling of impatience, doubt, or unworthiness hindering the receiving of it-that is the Science of Deliberate Creation at its best.
Just write, if you open the gate it gets better and better.
