    FEEL DON’T THINK

    The dilemma about wanting something enough and sacrificing everything to achieve it is not common,however there are those who will jump because they know the net will appear.

    But too many advisers suggestion why you should not do it just causes more confusion.

    Sacrifice all ………..take for example great paiters/writes etc. who had to sacrifice everything in order to continue painting/writing etc., that meant menial jobs but the focus was still on the same goal,thus ultimately achieving sucess.

    Our dilemma in this day is to do the opposite of obvious,to say “no” when “yes” would be preferable …………to be too cautious thus almost always settling for mediocre.

    If you want to write paint or whatever go then and do it inspite of every thing.

    Worse case scenario certainly in America( what’s the obesity rate now?) you will not starve,which sometimes in itself is not a bad thing.

    So my advice (DC*) is to what you want now , because today is already tomorrow.

    Go for broke,feel don’t think.

      In my experience neither thinking nor feeling are infallible and both have their place. Due to what I see as the extraordinary overemphasis on thinking in our culture I think it becomes important to remind us to feel as well as think.

      To sacrifice all, for me, requires that I be sure I am sacrificing for the right purpose.

      Thanks for the comment lee – it certainly puts a forthright case.

    LIFE IS ONE.

    Hi Marisol, life’s oneness I think is made up of parts. This is an organic unity in my view.
