Actions Reflect Identity

 



"You are what you do,
not what you say you will do."
Carl Jung 

Our lives are filled with options, which shall we choose?  The first obvious step is to recognize what is before us while the second is deciding which will best resolve whatever we are facing. The third step is more than likely the most important which is taking action or follow through. All of these define us.

Too often we get stuck thinking about what will unfold, delaying advancement.  We can unnecessarily become wrapped in our own fears creating the fallacy of deeper dilemmas.  Although impulsive decision making can detour our growth, lingering too long is equally harming.

If there are too many resources, select which seem to have the greatest potential.  If caught in overwhelm: select a trusted friend to share thoughts; spend time away in nature or retreat; and release turmoil through writing, art work, or physical activities. It is the action one takes that best defines who we are or long to be.
