Action and consequence
+++++++++++++++++++
The actions you take have consequences, and some of those
consequences can be painful. Yet life would be hopelessly
more painful if there were no consequences.
If actions had no consequences, there would be no reliable
way to achieve anything. There would be no way for you to
direct or control the circumstances of your life.
As it is, you can choose the consequences you experience by
choosing the actions that bring about those consequences.
You are able, in large part, to avoid the consequences you
don't want and to create the consequences you desire.
By taking responsibility for the consequences in your life,
you gain the power to determine what those consequences will
be. By accepting and embracing responsibility for the
outcomes of your actions, you are able to bring about the
outcomes you prefer.
In each moment, with each choice you make, consider what
that choice will bring. You have the power to create your
own results.
Choose your actions with care and positive intent, and
you'll like the consequences they bring.
Ralph Marston
