Just by putting the effort to practice, you are guaranteeing yourself success. You might as well "put it in writing". But it is progressive. Stick with your routine, and don't make it difficult. Make it simple, easy, and enjoyable. You will know you are on the right path when you have a combination or variation of some of the follow indicators: one-pointed fixed concentration, feelings of emptiness or hollowness, softness, gentleness, delicateness, stability, joy, happiness, contentment, equanimity, a sense of release, and an open and free feeling around you. Don't be too critical and analytical; don't be a cynic. "Just stay still!" said Mom.

It took Thomas Edison over 1,000 tries to make the light bulb. But, he eventually found the way; he didn't give up, and we can be sure that he had a few doubts along the way. Mr. Edison started from scratch; here you already have the method, the formula for success, just stick to it, and you will get the results. You have the match box and the sticks; it is up to you to ignite the fire within yourself for yourself. Over time and practice, you will learn how to put the pieces together in the way that suits you best, and so that it always bears fruit. Remember not to rush anything, and enjoy the process. Keep it simple.
