34.2.3 > 51 - What about taking (x) online course?

34.2.3 > 51

Lines 2 and 3 here seem to be contradicting. Any thoughts here?

Thanks

Hi 1eleven - I believe it's just saying make the necessary preparations to take the course, remain patient and it will happen at the right time.
The online course I'm doing at the moment comes to mind as I had to put a few things in place, apply and then wait to start it - Liss

Hi Liss,
Thanks. There's no real prep in this case other than paying for it. I'll sit with that though and see what comes up.

Thanks again

Maybe something unexpected will happen that make you choose between taking or not taking the course? Do you think that the course is not for you for some reason? I don't know if it's important but Hilary in 55.3 says You don't need to prove yourself by taking action right away.

Thank you kafuka, that's helpful. I'm just not sure I need the course or what the benefit will be just yet.

The lines are contradictory. Maybe that means there are two alternative ways this could go. Or it means that the experience would start out okay but later deteriorate. I lean towards the second interpretation. Additionally, if you cannot see the benefit of taking the course I guess motivation is lacking. If the reading had been glowing maybe that would have changed your mind, but this reading is iffy.
