the forming of new connections that will cause a course correction over time. Strong and sudden changes of direction can be like tacking into the wind.
Other humans with whom we share time-space tend to resent changes that they do not initiate themselves, so there is greater resistance toward your change. Consider this resistance to be a signal that you are about to get somewhere, and persist- but do it thoughtfully. Gradual internal veering toward a goal produces slower changes, but they tend to meet fewer obstacles, and can often
produce more lasting results. Often the most effective course to combine the two strategies- let enthusiasm guide you into sharper turns and sprints, and the rest of the time, make a consistent effort to veer toward the goal, and walk steadily forward.
Sometimes when you are frozen into place, the only way to break free is with a sudden jolt- but we can't run at break-neck speed forever. Sometimes we must walk at a slow, deliberate pace, and sometimes we must rest. Starting off with a dramatic jolt can be as shocking as a lightning strike- but there is no better way to break free of the frozen mire, and start moving again. Don't be discouraged by the eventual need to plod instead of gallop. There will always be set-backs and obstacles in every lengthy process. Persist.
One of the best things you can do for yourself is to form a clear idea of where you want to go, and in what condition you want to arrive. The more definite your goal, the less internal resistance you will experience, and the more enthusiasm you will be able to maintain to keep on going.
