Noticing The Drive and Intention Before Action

 Notice the drive behind an act before you take action - is the action out of fear, or out of love? Is ego behind it, or the soul? Is it aligned with the wellbeing for all, or is it a selfish act. Just note down your intention and drive and spend a few seconds observing it. Tune into your mind, heart and body and ask yourself, “is this what I really want?” (for myself, for others, and the world?). 

Know Your Intentions

Know your intention . Know if your actions are arising from fear or from love . Know. 

Accepting the Reality of "what is"

Accept the unfolding reality of what is, right now, and then act to do what can be done with what is towards what can be. 

Some Things You Can Consider Before Taking Actions

Perhaps you may wish to consider this before any action

Observation from three perspectives:
1) Yours
2) Others
3) An omnipresent neutral observer

Consequences/Impact on
1) Self
2) Others
3) Environment/Society
Over time and space.

Then make a more conscious decision about it.

Value Driven Life

Being value driven is when one does things not because they want others to like them but because of some fundamental moral principals and values. 

What Fools and Wise Do After Actions

The difference between the wise and the fools after taking some action is
The fools always justify their actions
The wise always reflect on their actions
The fools defend their actions
The wise admin their mistakes

Demanding vs Doing

Demanding is not doing, many demand of others, yet do very little themselves. Effective leaders are on the ground helping their followers, they act and inspire action. They earn respect not through coercion but through inspiration. They instil commitment, not compliance.

Actions and Inactions Creates A World

One’s actions and inactions affects the world in both positive and negative ways that can ripple through time and space

Perceptions and Beliefs Determine Outcomes

Your perception determines how you respond and react in your environment.
Your beliefs about the world determines how you act and influence your environment. 

Everything Arises from Intention

Intentions are the source of what is later manifested. Intentions become sources of actions and results. 

Good or Bad?

There are no good or bad people, but people with both positive and negative qualities. For some their positive qualities are more visible to the outside world and their negative qualities hidden, while for others the reverse. Individual predispositions, the environment as well as personal may affects which category people fall into. So if this is the case, what are YOU going to do about it? 

What You Are Exposed To

Most people see the same things but think differently about what they see, leading to different actions and hence different results. What one sees as an obstacle, another sees as a solution, what one sees as fair, another sees as inequitable. Ultimately people's perspective varies to the same observable phenomena leading to varying degrees of views and actions and results.

Doing Good

If you do good to get a pat on the shoulder, then you will often be thoroughly dissatisfied. If you do good for the sake of good itself and the satisfaction comes from the act alone, then you are looking at a sustainable happy life.

Impulsive and Reactive Behaviours

Impulsive and reactive behaviors are not necessarily wrong, they just have consequences that are generally not desirable in time and space. Actions and behaviours that emanate from deep-seeded values from a place of state of ego-less stability and love are generally ones that have more positive effect in time and space.

The Fearless

The only thing that prevents the fearless from doing wrong is their morals and values.
