Trust that even the tiniest step in the direction of your dreams will be worth it. Trust when you don't yet see anything that even remotely resembles a result. Appreciate and treasure the minutest movement. Even one little step can snowball into bigger things. Every step creates a momentum that will give you the strength to take another step. Never discard small efforts. They count. They matter.
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 result because if it seems too momentous, you won't start at all. And even when you're not sure that your dream is THE dream, pursue it anyway. You never know what it may lead to. It's like using a GPS. Unless you start driving, the GPS cannot guide 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 possibilities and new ideas. Trust incremental steps. Don't over-think it. Just start. Create. Play. Experiment. Create quantity! Don't worry about the result. Make 10 crappy pieces, if that's what it takes, and perhaps number 11 will be a masterpiece. 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 matter. What you do right now will lead to other things. What you do right now becomes 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 it is the right choice. Just go as far as you can see; when you get there you’ll see further.
