“Believing themselves to be helpless, people will endure suffering that could in fact be avoided or stopped by appropriate action.” - Gold, Joseph. Read For Your Life: Literature as a Life Support System. Fitzhenry and Whiteside: Markham, 1990. pg 136
We have the power in any situation to do one of three things. We can,
1) accept the situation
2) try to change it or
3) run away.
We always have these three choices in any situation. Sometime we might not even consider any of these choices, yet they are always there. We are not helpless and have the power in our daily lives to overcome many things.
Read Eckhart Tolle’s Power of Now for even more ideas on how to live in the present moment.
