"The Six Rules of Maybe", by Deb Caletti

1.  Respect the power of hope and possibilities.  Begin with belief.  Hold on to it.
2.  If you know where you want to go, you're already halfway there.  Know what you desire but, more importantly, why you desire it.  Then go.
3.  Hopes and dreams and heart's desires require a clear path - get out of your own way.
4.  Place hope carefully in your own hands and in the hands of others.
5.  Persist, if necessary.
6.  That said, most importantly - know when you've reached an end.  Quit, give up, do it with courage.  Giving up is not failing - it's the chance to being again.
