I'll say this is true:
Five years ago I was at conventional measurement lows in health, family, relations, financial outlook, etc. etc.
Today I am a 9-10 on a ten scale in every measure.
HOWEVER, I am only resolving life because of emtpiness resource. The amazing thing about finding the familial existential 'bottom(less)': THAT is where I find joy and ease, and where I want to be.
Practice detachment with a philosophical eye on 'dying.' Figuratively speaking, you need to genuinely kill your self*/SELF {image self*, AND AUTHENTIC SELF}.
The intent/trust will carry the day.... SELF will rise up stronger and stronger; self images will become more useful and dynamic.
Though I derived my path independently in next regard; this annihilation of self is OLD SCHOOL Christian quietism/mysticism practiced ramantly in the 17th & 18th century monastaries. Those, who lead the way often mention GOD to appease the Church, but it is clear that many were attaining 'enlightnenment' by virtue of an attributeless 'God' (emptiness*).
*serloco often refers to this as void or indifference.
I believe Shamanka calls it the 'point of unconcern.'
In detachment I refer to this emptines as space or separation. The practice of detachment becomes this space or separation (emptiness) in a prolific way when you finally obtain to negating self/SELF as I describe.
When you are REALLY doing (intending) it, believe me, you'll know you are doing (intending it) {the idea/spirit will take root}
How do you eat an elephant?
Answer: one bite at a time
Take opportunity one step at a time, and especially concerning opportunities in relating to significant others. Believe me, you practice in this arena enough, you will see 'other' in a different light. It is important though, not to get stuck on how you affect 'other (as you definitely will), but always bring focus back to the detachment step(s). {holding separation must become the fundamental principle.. then eventually you will know to be set on 'killing' your SELF in a profound manner.
You have to die. Really. (not referring to mortality either)
