- Ok, I went and did it. I ordered St1 of the Dragon Emperor last night, and will start dialing in my usage pattern next week.
I was having a lot of analysis paralysis about what to run next year. I need to make some real world forward progress in a lot of aspects of my life. Our financial problems need to be solved yesterday, I need to get my career back on a track that I can even remotely call a career track, our house needs to be put in some sense of order, and some other stuff. An Emperor custom would be perfect for that.
I also need to deal with what remains of the mental blocks that have caused me to steer my life down a track that I feel stuck in. I’ve made some amazing progress on Dominus and other Subclub and other subs before that, but as I recently mentioned I’ve had a sense that I’ve hit a wall, and there is still something in my mind that sets my ceiling for success low, and doesn’t want me to get out of the hole I feel I’m in. The obvious best plan for that is to run Dragon Reborn for a year.
I had been debating what to do, and being very hesitant to do this because I was afraid of it being too much for me. I realized that that was fear talking, and if it causes me problems, I can switch plans. So here is Dragon Emperor stage 1:
Emperor Core
Dragon Reborn St 1 Core
Wayfinder
Mastermind
Fortune’s Favorite
Immortal’s Blade
Dragon Tongue
Sanguine
Debt Aniahalator
All Seeing
Deus
Sacred Words
Mosaic
Khronos Key
Jupiter
Yggdrasil
I am planning on running it for a full year, switching DR stages every three months, and coming out a new man with a vastly improved life at the end. I think that going in with the expectation that it will work is a big part of what makes these things work so well for some of us. I am not expecting this to be an easy run.
