On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!

When we want to take right action in the world, we must first become truly aware of what is going on—to understand what the problem or challenge really is.  When we become aware of discomfort, we tend to jump to take whatever action we think will most quickly relieve our immediate suffering.  Too often that action leads us to ever more suffering down the road.  Effective action is always only possible following a period of acceptance and understanding of the nature of the challenge.  Only when we have accepted reality as it is--life on life’s terms—can we then take effective action. (we call this the 3 A’s: Awareness, Acceptance, Action)
