Where does the wisdom to act in entirely new ways come from? It comes from nowhere, from the void; it comes from inaction. When we see it, we realize it was right in front of us all along. It is never far away; yet at the same time it is in a different universe—a different Story of the World.","author":"Charles Eisenstein","tags":["action","doing","earth","habit","inaction","non-doing","problem","solution","story","void","wisdom","world"],"id":18497,"author_id":"Charles+Eisenstein"},{"text":"Never mistake the uncomfortable feeling of insecurity and the fear of the unknown with the Holy Ghost’s promptings. Sometimes those feelings are simply Satan keeping you stuck where you are because he knows you will have a half-life there. He knows that you will spend half of your life disconnected, discontented and convincing your mind of what its heart will never accept. He knows when you have settled, gave up and didn’t try. Inaction is his greatest weapon, while regret is his second.","author":"Shannon L.

He believed that only a vulgar mentality was willing to acknowledge the possibility of catastrophe. He felt that taking naps was much more beneficial than confronting catastrophes. However precipitous the future might seem, he learned from the game of kemari that the ball must always come down. There was no call for consternation. Grief and rage, along with other outbursts of passion, were mistakes easily committed by a mind lacking in refinement. And the Count was certainly not a man who lacked refinement.Just let matters slide. How much better to accept each sweet drop of the honey that was Time, than to stoop to the vulgarity latent in every decision. However grave the matter at hand might be, if one neglected it for long enough, the act of neglect itself would begin to affect the situation, and someone else would emerge as an ally. Such was Count Ayakura’s version of political theory.","author":"Yukio Mishima","tags":["acceptance","elegance","inaction","indifference","japan","passivity","refinement"],"id":32920,"author_id":"Yukio+Mishima"},{"text":"You are where you are right now because of the actions you've taken, or maybe, the inaction you've taken.","author":"Steve Maraboli","tags":["action","inaction","life","motivational","success"],"id":45123,"author_id":"Steve+Maraboli"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":68,"pages":7,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
