@Joemama , I say it is the journey not the destination, here’s why: the destination is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If you try to get to the pot of gold it just keeps moving away as you move closer. What does this tell me….just keep moving. Could you play too much? Your observations of your progress will be the tell, should that be the case. If you are not progressing and you are beginning to have physical difficulties, or mentally you are burnt, there would be your indications that perhaps you have overdone. I found playing smartly in focused sessions is better than slogging along all day in a daze. I think the trick it to be the controller of the obsession and not let the obsession control you. This allows that infinite well of energy to be harnessed in a productive direction….the direction of your desire. I am coming up on my 7th year here and have made tons of mistakes along the way…all of them overcome and in hindsight avoidable if I had been paying closer attention. None of them were more than temporary barriers to my progress. I did one thing and one thing very well….I played everyday no matter what. You will no doubt get in your own way too but as long as you stay connected to the community (they helped me through miles of rough roads) and play everyday no matter what you will become the player of your desires. One last thing, this is part of the key to playing everyday. End every session INTENTIONALLY on a high note. This will be a major charger for getting back to the next session even in the midst of burnout!
