Let’s look at our actions, whether active or passive.
Everything in our life that comes to fruition is because of an action we either take or an action we don’t take. The thoughts we think, the words we speak and of course the actions we take contributes to how our life unfolds. All of our actions whether taken or not, affect not just our lives but also the lives of the people on the planet and the planet.
When you look at your life as it is now, it is because of some action or inaction that you have taken? Even when we decide not to take action our life unfolds a certain way because of that inaction. It’s important to be aware of the decisions that we do make in our life and how they may affect the end results.
You may be in a 25-year relationship that hasn’t been serving either one of you and yet you stayed. This is a perfect example of how inaction can create a negative outcome in our life. If we were always looking at what the outcome of our actions could be, we may decide to take a different path with her decision. It’s easy to do this when were thinking about actually taking a specific action in her life to get a certain outcome; the difficult part is the inaction. We tend to be in a more passive role with inaction.
An example would be the long-term relationship that wasn’t working out but you just stayed in it year after year. Inaction can be every bit as damaging as taking an action that isn’t in your best interest. Another example is possibly not voting this is considered inaction and we all know that when we don’t vote the outcome can still be very powerful and damaging. What about recycling, you are contributing if you don’t recycle to the negative effects that recycling has on the planet
So don’t fool yourself into believing that just because you didn’t participate that you didn’t contribute to the outcome. Take a look at your life and how you’re participating either actively or passively and see what changes you can make.
