Commitment to a process is a prerequisite to find your intrinsic sanity and clarity of vision.
A dream without a plan is just a wish. You need strategy, guiding principles, a mind-set which includes the urge to connect to mind-sets which are not yours. You need to find out how your past can empower your future; how the present can; how to connect with the pain coming with the challenges. How to learn and understand deeper, adapt to it. How to recognize your patterns, defense mechanisms, intensified preoccupations and abilities of the mind.
