You either start now, or it is not going to happen for you, and you are going to wake up at seventy years old (or eighty, if you are already seventy) filled with sorrow that you let your dream, your passion, gift, fall by the wayside. You start now, as is. ‘As is’ is the portal to creation, to new life.

Look up!
Quote
Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pleasure and grief
Quote
Not that grief vanishes…but that it begins in time to coexist with pleasure; sorrow sits right beside the rediscovery of what is to be cherished in experience. Just when you think you’re done.
Mark Doty

No, you cannot stop the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can stop them from building nests in your hair.

Worry not
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.
