It may not feel 'easy' , at first, and getting used to the idea of actually have the power, or the stuff it takes to make such a commitment is the leap of faith needed to make a BP, but rest assured you Do have it in you,
Gosh, it's so hard to believe all it takes is giving myself permission. But I do, I believe you. I really think I do. I HAVE to believe you. Sometimes, I find myself mentally fighting against the wise words of you all on SR, as if YOU are the bad guys trying to get me into the cult. But, then I flip it around and realize you're the good ones, trying to save me from the cult I'm stuck in. Sigh. AVRT would say all I have to do it walk out the door, right? Or wait. That's my AV, right? I AM out the door.
