Every journey begins with a goodbye. If you feel frightened by the future, it may be that you are trying to carry the harbor with you on your voyage. Look into your life: there is a way of growth that is waiting for you to say goodbye to something else. People will tell you you can have it all, but their words are advertising, not encouragement, and are mostly designed to keep you pliable and unsatisfied. True contentment comes from seeing that the great thing you were meant to do depends on letting other things pass, and while you can never rush your goodbyes, you can begin to practice them daily in the realm of your attention, by focusing on one thing at a time and learning to put all other thoughts to the side. For what you do with your attention is what you will do with your life, and what you need most now is not violence toward the past, but the conviction that one small thing can in fact open up onto everything. And that is something you can begin to see today.
