Think about it, when we say we have no choice, what we’re really saying is there’s no good choice, no safe option that makes it easy for us to decide.
Sometimes we’re confronted with having to choose between presenting evils or difficulties – an unenviable position to be in indeed, because it breeds feelings of powerlessness and a sensation of perceiving ourselves as trapped.
How to proceed? Examine the possibilities before you and ask: “Of these lousy choices before me, which one would I best adjust to?” Not easily, not without some pain or suffering. Merely adjust to – over time.
Or, you can cede your power to the predicament you’re in by doing nothing and allow fate to serve as the arbiter. But fate is a neutral observer and could care less about your best interest.
Doing nothing is a tempting choice, but really just an abdication of responsibility.
