Nervous people. The following is a drug-free way to constrain your fears and make sense of the world.
- Step one: mentally commit to those things in life that make you feel good.
- Step two: write these down, refine them into principles, then cease to doubt your judgment.
- Step three: broadcast this credo to the world with zealous enthusiasm.
Thereafter, two things will happen to justify and sustain your actions:
Like magic, your beliefs will become all GOOD. Everything else will become all BAD. Gray areas will disappear. The irreconcilable swamp of debate will evaporate and along with it your weakness and uncertainty. Together with countless other millions, you will enter the safe and happy fellowship of conformity…
Otherwise, at every dark bend in the road expect to be curious, awed and anxious. The intolerable mystery of it will drive you to create something useful. God will be as he seems––far away and watching.”
