When We Don’t Take Action

When We Don’t Take Action by [Madisyn Taylor]( Our actions shape our lives, but what we don't take action on can be just as powerful. Life is sculpted on a moment-to-moment basis. Every one of the thoughts we think, the words we speak, and the actions we take contributes to the complex quality and character of the universe's unfolding. It simply is not possible to be alive without making an impact on the world that surrounds us. Every action taken affects the whole as greatly as every action not taken. And when it comes to making the world a better place, what we choose not to do can be just as important as what we choose to do. For example, when we neglect to recycle, speak up, vote, or help somebody in immediate need, we are denying ourselves the opportunity to be an agent for positive change. Instead, we are enabling a particular course to continue unchallenged, picking up speed even as it goes along. By holding the belief that our actions don't make much of a difference, we may find that we often tend to forego opportunities for involvement. Alternatively, if we see ourselves as important participants in an ever-evolving world, we may feel more inspired to contribute our unique perspective and gifts to a situation. It is wise to be somewhat selective about how and where we are using our energy in order to keep ourselves from becoming scattered. Not every cause or action is appropriate for every person. When a situation catches our attention, however, and speaks to our heart, it is important that we honor our impulse to help and take the action that feels right for us. It may be offering a kind word to a friend, giving resources to people in need, or just taking responsibility for our own behavior. By doing what we can, when we can, we add positive energy to our world. And sometimes, it may be our one contribution that makes all the difference.

We all have a purpose that we are uniquely suited for and which improves ourselves, the lives of others, and the Universe at large. This purpose can lead us towards our best and highest selves and help us leave a legacy behind so that we are known and remembered lovingly after we are gone. Each of us knows there is a purpose to our lives, and yet we can spend a lifetime trying to define what it is. The Akashic Records holds a record or book for every soul that has ever existed. That book is not only a history of everything the soul has ever done, but is also a guide to the purpose of that soul in this lifetime. It is a record of all the guidance that the soul's spiritual advisers gave during preparation for this life as well as a resource for help along the way and support for succeeding. This course lifts the veil of secrecy on how to access your Soul Book in the Akashic Library including instructions on grounding techniques, a how to guide on creating sacred space wherever you are, audio guided meditations to help you experience the wisdom of your Soul Book, and detailed discussions of how you can achieve the greatest rewards from your readings in order to become the best possible you in this life.
