I was reading Stephen Covey and his first habit of being proactive. it must be 15 years ago. We are all so engrossed in this cause and effect world. We hardly know how to go beyond it. It is person with wisdom who sometimes wants to carry us there. As J. Krishnamurty said ' To go beyond the self-enclosing activities of the mind, you must understand them; and to understand them is to be aware of action in relationship, relationship to things, to people, and to ideas. In that relationship, which is the mirror, we begin to see ourselves, without any justification or condemnation; and from that wider and deeper knowledge of the ways of our own mind, it is possible to proceed further; then it is possible for the mind to be quiet." Being alert and awareful is a constant challenge and years of perceiving our action will only take us to our nature to be unconditionally kind, honest, wise, sincere, tender, affectionate, sensitive and compassionate. It is worth a try as you will be so relieved once you are on that journey!
Best wishes.
