A Parable: Work out the details...
A grasshopper suffered every winter from severe pains due to savage temperature. After a number of painful winters, sought the advice from a "Wise Old-Owl."
The "Wise Old-Owl," after patiently listening to the grasshopper’s misery, said.... so the story goes, "prescribed a simple solution: ‘Simply turn yourself into a cricket, and hibernate during the winter.’
The grasshopper jumped for joy, did... a split, got jiggy with it, and even square danced profusely thanking the "Wise Old-Owl" for his wise advice.
However, the grasshopper later discovered that this important knowledge could not be transformed into action, and so the grasshopper returned to the "Wise Old-Owl" and asked him "how he could perform this about-face transformation/alteration)?"
The "Wise Old-Owl" replied rather curtly, ‘Look, I gave you the principle, it’s up to you to work out the details!’
You must decide who you are and what you want out of life. That is the hardest part! But, once you have decided that you are ready for the challenge, create a plan of action and just go for it!! Stop second-guessing yourself. What's the worse thing that could happen? That you have to keep trying until you suceed.
