Dear Ravi:

It is progress not perfection we can realistically accept in controlling our own thinking, feeling and behaving. Putting aside for a moment controlling other people, it is self control that is most difficult to do.

I like you doing your “best with honesty and sincerity”- I like this very much about you.

And I like your efforts to turn your “love into a strength rather than obsession.”

Regarding uncertainty and doubt, yes, these will stay, sometimes feel stronger than other times. At times you will get a break from these, but fear will return. Every one of us has to find a way to live with fear because no one can eliminate it.

Keep on this way, Ravi. I am … sincerely and honestly (traits I too admire and practice) impressed with you.
