….. Never, ever base your major course of action only on what others tell you to do.  Actions can be taken by anyone…….

​Author’s Comment: TAKING ACTION—how important to uplift the spirit. One of the primary reasons for becoming depressed is not only the loss of hope but also the unwillingness to take action for what you consider as good. Simply taking the dog out for a walk or writing a letter to someone who is feeling down can ignite a spark in your heart, and feeding it can make it grow into a warm, nurturing flame. One reason you may not feel this is that you are doing something not fit for you, often enticed by what others say. I myself felt  that doing good by volunteering at a crisis hot line would inspire me, but I usually grudgingly did the work. Through much trial and error, I found that environmental restoration work was the kind of action which really elevated body and soul. You’ll know you found the right action for you when your being feels lighter and more energized.
