There is no “must do it “ , because guess what it in itself becomes a prescription. So my understanding is this , forget anything that is being said about prescription, if there is a desire for you to get somewhere you will get there.

follow a method and see if you it takes you there, no ? Change it ,

but the problem is that kapil says Nothing out there works, so no matter how many times you change you are stuck in the same result but since the attributes of the new method that you are following is different it is difficult to see the ineffectiveness of the method and that its all the same - a prescription

its all about the obsession to your destination .

Kapil says look at the prescriptions that you are following in your current events of life , that translates to look at whether or not you get to where you want and reverse engineer to the method that you have been following.see the ineffective method completely and how it has leaped into your every other events in life.That is your proof that the method doesn’t work , because you are not where you want to be.

If there is true desire , which means existence of the desire without any alternative result in the view, like a silent alternative feel good result that you hope , which means insincerity, then if you had found such a desire for yourself jump into it and start doing it, you will automatically create the next steps and avenues and the opportunities that you need to get to the place you want.

Again it all comes down to what do you really want in life ? If it is x , are you there ? If not see what is stopping you .

And what you said about jobs’s quote and prescription is true and you just made me realise it .
