[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 592066, member: 15907"] If I may add to that: One friend and mentor (I have a lot of these in my life, I am blessed) when I was seeking input because well, he's good at it and I try to avoid going to him because he's got enough people in his life being needy or at least questioning - I described my situation as it is now, how frustrated I am that I've had all this martial arts and self-actualization from a variety of sources in the Tool Box Of My Self, and yet right now I'm so whacked by stress and worry that I can't bring the focus into place to actually use the tools I have. His comment, using the scarab beetle (aka the Egyptian god Khephri, the symbol of Becoming) as a metaphor: [I]Right now you're rolling a great big ball of all of these experiences, probably worried that it will crush you. Sometime later, on the other side of thing, you'll be able to see what grows out of it. [/I]So perhaps my sharing this forward will help us all. [/QUOTE]
