What can I do? Helpful steps for handling situations

Thanks to those who made it to Movie Night last Thursday - there a lot of heart felt sharing and at least one person said it was perfect for them.

Part 3 - the Path to Service is scheduled for June 9th at 6:30 - back to our usual Sunday night, and it's perfect leading into the upcoming Avatar Course.

If you are interested in watching or re-watching Path 1 or Path 2, you can do so here:

Path 1 - Path to Personal Responsibility

Path 2 - Path to Compassion

We will be at the Professional Course next week (an advanced course for us masters) so there probably won't be a message next weekend. I hope you have as high energy a week as we expect to!

What can I manage?

I've been noting the difference between manageable causes (something we can do something about) and plausible excuses (an excuse that is believable). I'm not a big fan of thinking backwards into the past, but sometimes a little of it is necessary.

The strategy that I favor is to identify a situation, either good or bad, and examine the actions or inactions that were responsible for it. The actions that I'm particularly interested in are

• those that I can deliberately repeat
• those I can change
• those I can avoid doing in the future.

These are manageable causes: I can manage them.

Of course there may be unique circumstances or events that can't be managed, which also contribute to the situation:

• acts of God
• difficult people
• broken beyond repair
• or, used up.

It's good to be able to recognize these so I can avoid making future plans that count on them.

The best argument for studying the past is to learn to repeat manageable actions that lead to favorable circumstances in the future.

Or avoid manageable actions that are likely to lead to situations in the future. It is not a perfect system, but it does turn the odds in your favor.
