The best way to avoid a bad action is by doing a good one, for there is no difficulty in the world like that of trying to do nothing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every action has a consequence, so always try to be good.
Make up your mind to act decidedly and take the consequences. No good is ever done in this world by hesitation.
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
You can do everything you can to try to stop bad things from happening to you, but eventually things will happen, so the best prevention is a positive attitude.
If something is not good enough, stop doing it.
Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.
Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.
To a contrarian like me, constant advice not to do something almost always starts me quickly down the risky, unpopular path.
I will overlook bad behavior if I know that people's intentions are good. I have this belief that people really can do good things and that people want to be good.
Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good action; try to use ordinary situations.
