1. You can start with being aware that Thinking is already a luxury, because some people are currently in a situation where they can't philosophize because they are for example being attacked with daggers.
2. Since you do have the luxury to sit down and Ponder things (you have a Canvas as I put it), the first step is to become invincible. Stop worrying about scenarios that are supposedly "end of the world." "Oh what if I lose my eyesight forever." No, you can only lose it for a finite time, and you'll recover in the end.
"To be surprised, to wonder, is to begin to understand. This is the sport, the luxury, special to the intellectual man. The gesture characteristic of his tribe consists in looking at the world with eyes wide open in wonder. Everything in the world is strange and marvellous to well-open eyes. This faculty of wonder is the delight refused to your football fan, and, on the other hand, is the one which leads the intellectual man through life in the perpetual ecstasy of the visionary. His special attribute is the wonder of the eyes. Hence it was that the ancients gave Minerva her owl, the bird with ever-dazzled eyes."
