I am truly honored and grateful. Those traps that you mentioned made me think about how important it is that we learn to recognize them so we can avoid falling in. Thanks so much for your support and encouragement. Hi Sibyl, thank you so much for including me in your post. I am truly honored and grateful.

I love your advice to not limit our life to "hideous hallucinations". It can be so easy to fall into that trap and I think from time to time, we need to be shaken a little. Thanks for the shake :) Also, thanks for always providing such amazing wisdom and sharing your insights. I actually just wrote a post about the people who are amazing minds in the blogosphere (and you of course were one of the people I mentioned) and this post just serves as another example why you really are one of the greatest minds in the blogosphere. Great post. Jonathan:

Do the thing, and you will have the power. What you’ll find is that as you “do the thing”, other things will begin to happen. You’ll find it easier to do things the next time. You’ll notice yourself thinking, “I can’t believe I did it- maybe I am the kind of person who does things like that.” And the shift in who you become in doing the thing will make doing anything else so much easier. Of course, if you don’t think you can do it, if you don’t know how to do it, if it’s all too much, if you’re not ready yet… just do the thing. Do the thing, and you will have the power.

We can do anything if we have a compelling enough reason.
