It’s not the action, it’s the reaction

Action is good.

Reaction is not.

When we take action, we feel good.

When we react, we feel bad, we become the reaction, which is not the real us, it is just our mind and emotions.

Action happens now, the moment that we are alive and requires us to be present. It leads to change, it leads to an outcome, it makes a difference.

Reaction is based on the past and on future fears, things that do not exist. It leads to anger, frustration, argument, hate and negativity.

Let go, accept what is, do not become the reaction, peacefully and calmly take action.

A wealth of…

It’s strange that we only look at wealth, and conversely poverty, in terms of money.

Why do we never measure or chase a wealth of love, a wealth of kindness, a wealth of joy, a wealth of peace, a wealth of consciousness? If you had a wealth of those things, then there would be no need to measure ourselves against each other, we’d realise we are all the same no matter what.

Why do we not reach out to people suffering from a poverty of kindness, love, joy, peace and so on? Why do we not fill our schools with learning about real wealth, instead of preparing people to earn money?

Funny how human society measures itself. The fact that we need to compare at all is strange.
