Feelings and actions
Let your hope be a catalyst for action, not a substitute for it. Let your knowledge inform your action rather than excusing inaction. — Ralph Marston
Do not become mired in a sense of defeat, nor in a sense of enthusiasm. Whatever you’re feeling, transform its energy into positive action.
Many different forms of life’s realities can prompt you into many different states. Yet the only meaningful way for you to improve those realities is with action.
Feel the joys, the pains, the peace, the disappointment, the inspiration, the frustration. Then take those feelings and use them to power intentional positive efforts.
Your feelings absolutely make a difference in you. What makes a difference in your world is what you actually do with those feelings, with your wisdom, your time, skills, and energy.
You’re capable of intense feelings and effective actions. Combine those two miraculous capabilities to continually bring new goodness into being.
