A person of wisdom lives by doing, not by thinking about doing. Assumptions arrived at through analysis, reason and deliberation have very little influence in altering the course of our lives, whereas actions can move mountains.
In the turbulence of life the most influential actions of our life-those that will decide the whole course of our future-are often unthinking. We are so used to not trusting our inner selves that we allow life to dictate our path. Yet, while this is fine some of the time, in the truly important decisions of life we must take charge. By making the effort to do this, we not only make a conscious choice but we learn how to elevate our consciousness through the choices we make and thereby take full responsibility for them.
Look at every path your life has taken, with scrutiny and with intent, then ask yourself this fundamental question: has this path a spirit? If it has, then the path is skilful and true. If it has not, discard it with compassion and make a new choice. In this way you are doing the necessary work in the search for meaning.
Remember that in a world of rage, no person is significant enough to make you angry, if you choose not to be. Learn to move beyond anger to that place in you where everyone is heard. This is the start of a dialogue with love.
