Say your prayer but tether your camel first.

So the way I see it, going out there and shaking some trees is always a good idea, but then at the same time be calm inside, deliverance is right on time and on the right time.

Actually I don't think you should have done the things you do now years ago. You got roots, you lived the life those young rocksters( and anybody else getting famous at an early age for that matter) could have used to remain grounded at the top. Look at these totally unbalanced kids, look how many of them go down before even developing their full potential.

And anyway I think you can trust in the Universe to make things right, even if you made mistakes. Making chicken salad out of chicken **** is God's special, it's called creation.

And here's another thing I thought pretty insightful and good advice from Natalie Goldberg when she writes about writing her break-through book: "The biggest struggle was not with the actual writing, but working out the fear of success, the fear of failure, and finally burning through to just pure action."
