Use the losses and failures of the past as a reason for action, not inaction.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Inaction may be the biggest form of action.
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.
Inaction is perhaps the greatest mistake of all.
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
By use you possess gain; by disuse you decline and lose.
When something isn't done, you want to do something about it.
Whatever failures I have known, whatever errors I have committed, whatever follies I have witnessed in private and public life have been the consequence of action without thought.
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.
A life which does not go into action is a failure.
The right actions undertaken for the right reasons generally lead to good outcomes over time.
