For me, it starts just like that-just like you did-with the effort, just one, no matter how small-to focus on SELF, on what I know in my heart I need or want for me or my life. And I don't even have to be RIGHT about it.
I LOVE that you are in college! Because I know how much opportunity exists there. Sit in the front of the class. Talk to your professors. Let them know your name. Talk to everyone you meet about your hopes and dreams and interests. And a world will open up to you that you never knew existed. Here's something I'd like to share with you:
The search is what any one would undertake if he were not sunk into the everydayness of his own life. To become aware of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair. -Walker Percy
Go girl!!!
