Reading through your essay, I've realized that I am pretty clear about the first four steps. The hurdle for me has always been step five: the uncertainty. It's something I've always struggled with. A lot of history has been attached to that, but I know intellectually that uncertainty is inescapable. The trouble has been accepting it emotionally and moving past it. But the Ursula LeGuin quote is a strong reminder that the only thing we can control is what we choose to do in the situations we face. I'm going to try to remind myself of this when I resist writing (which is *my* desire).
