The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I know it sounds new age-y, but what I've truly come up with is that you really need to trust that you're on your own path, as long as you stay true to it and you show up, which is 99% of it.
