We had mentioned in previous articles that we always have 3 choices when faced with any situation in our lives.
Again, our 3 choices always are: 1) Accept the situation 2) Change the situation 3) Leave the situation These 3 choices are always the proper response to any situation you find yourself in.
First we were talking about relationship problems, but the same 3 choices can be related to any problem that may arise in your life.
Things such as finances, educational expertise, job satisfaction, etc, etc.
We spoke of the necessity of finding a quiet spot away from the madness of what is going on at the moment and quiet our minds so that we can think without all of the emotion that can attach itself to our problems.
We must come to that quiet place within ourselves and ask ourselves this question: What am I going to do about this specific situation? The major task here is to ask yourself some questions: Try to be clear about your answers 1.
What is it that I can do to change this situation? 2.
Is doing something, changing something in my best interest? 3.
Will what I choose have any direct affect on the situation or will it just placate the problem so I don't have to deal with it now? 4.
If there is nothing I can do or nothing that I feel would be in my best interest am I willing to continue to live with this problem (acceptance) or should I leave? (obviously if you are being harmed or the likelihood of harm is there, then,this would be the best choice) Some people believe that there is nothing they can do about the situation, but remember that there are always other support in the community that can help you.
If you are not sure what to do about a specific situation then speaking with a doctor, or psychologist or clergy may help you.
From personal experience I know that usually you have very good idea of what should be done in the situation, but you are afraid of the consequences.
Believe me, Peace of mind is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself, so go with your inner guidance.
Let it's inner wisdom speak to you and follow through on what needs to be done.
Seek help if you need it, but remember that ultimately it is your choice, your decision.
You only have the 3 choices to think about: 1) Is this acceptable? 2) Can I do something to change this? 3) Should I leave the situation? I hope that this article has helped you put your problems in a proper perspective and that you will be able to see your way clearly in whatever choice you make.
