![]() ![]() Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. Action arising out of insight into what is required is more effective than action arising out of negativity. ![]() If you take any action-leaving or changing your situation-drop the negativity first, if at all possible. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. ![]() If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it or accept it totally. Through self-observation, find out if that is the case in your life. Are you resisting your here and now? Some people would always rather be somewhere else. The Now, of course, also implies the here. Ordinary unconsciousness is always linked in some way with denial of the Now. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible leave the situation or accept it. When you speak out, you are in your power. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. See if you can catch yourself complaining, in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. ![]() ![]() ![]()
