Why Are You Afraid?

In the grey areas of choice, why are you afraid? With whatever data is before you, go ahead and choose an action and carry it through. Even if the action chosen turns out to be a mistake, what does it matter? What do a few mistakes matter in one’s long span of life? From the experience of the mistake learn to discriminate more keenly. Don’t be afraid to act while doing the action. If you realize it is a mistake, don’t become indecisive again and leave the action. Continue with the action and tell the mind “Now you suffer!” You chose it, you suffer.” And thereby learn to evaluate actions correctly and develop discrimination.
