Good luck buddy!
Practice is all that is needed - nothing more. More, it seems to me, can be a distraction if it interferes or confuses our practice. In this context then, there need be no anxiety about it, or difficulty. These things are something we add to the process. So practice seems to be where our emphasis should be, and all else is something different again; we build upon a foundation of effective practice. That is the standard. Does it enhance our practice, or detract or detract from it? By 'it' I mean philosophizing, or debating, or comparing models or defending models and so on.
To practice, is to initiate causes, or to discover them. Or to live authentically as we are; rather than be lost in distraction from that 'living simplicity' that we are, or to promote and ruminate in fantasy. We want to cut through all that via practice.

In kind regards,
Adam.
