What To Do

In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing. – Theodore Roosevelt

But how do we know what the “right” thing is?

Sometimes we know, sometimes we don’t . . . take your best guess and act.

But what if we’re afraid to do the wrong thing?

Examine the fear, see if it’s rational . . . mitigate any risk as best you can and act.

Feel frozen and “can’t” act?

Ask yourself what you have, that you want more (than what you say you want), and see if it’s worth being stuck for . . . and then act (somehow, someway).
