Thought 159: How you allow a crisis to build


When you become alive to events only after they have taken place, you are running your life - you are not managing it. You have lost control. You cannot prevent events happening, when you come to know them only after they have taken place. It is said that some people make things happen, some others watch things happening and the rest ask, "what happened?"

It is known as common sense when you think and act. If you have common sense you do not have to bite your nails every moment of your life. When you think, you begin to own your mistakes, learn from them - and that is the beginning of managing your life on proper lines. Unfortunately, common sense is the most uncommon thing in many human lives.

People allow a problem to build progressively to a level, when they get frightened by the immensity of the problem - and they become stunned into inaction. Thus, you allow a crisis to build up and then, feel overwhelmed by it. Human endeavor seems constantly involved in either committing a mistake or correcting a mistake. This is because people are either scared to think or they are plain lazy.

The next thought is “Performing one’s duty is very important”
