Even when your dream seems big and overwhelming, simply start with what's in front of you right now. This will lead you to the next small step, and then the next. Don't focus on the end result because chances are it'll seem so big you won't start at all. And even when you're not sure that your dream really is THE dream, pursue it anyway. You never know to what it may lead. It's like using a GPS. Unless you actually start driving, the GPS cannot start guiding you. Just start, anywhere. You can always recalculate.
Don't worry too much about the future. Love the moment you're in right now. Take what you've been given and work with that to its fullest extent. This will open doors to new vistas, new possibilities and new ideas. Trust incremental steps. Don't over-think it. Just start. Create. Play. Experiment. Create quantity! Don't worry about the end result. Make 10 crappy pieces, if that's what it takes, and suddenly number 11 will be a master piece. Get out of your head. Get into the nitty-gritty of creation. The creative process is never neat and tidy. It's messy. Accept it and free yourself from rigid expectations.
Relax and work with what you have. Don't worry about choosing one, and one only, end goal. It doesn't really matter. What you do right now will lead to other things. What you do right now is the bridge, the connection, to the future and things will unfold organically, petal by petal. The butterfly will emerge. Complete that which you are working on right now and don't distract yourself with doubts about whether or not it is the right choice. Climb the hill that's in front of you and when you reach the top you will see where the path continues. Not before.
Take courage. In an all-inclusive universe you can never get lost.
