It seems living forward you have to live step by step. You can't get the reassurances you'd hope for that this is the right direction, that the destination is worth the effort. We can live well by being self-reflective, with heart, and choosing our attitude, but we can't be guaranteed a result. You don't begin because you are assured of the result. You begin to begin.
It is impossible to know how you'll get from here to there until you do it. You may have a goal like getting to the other side of the river, but the crossing of it is always a matter of getting wet, and learning how to swim. You may think this isn't what I thought the other side of the river would be like, but alas the river isn't the other side and you can only deal with what is in front of you, so there we are.
