Yesterday I talked about being “lifeless.”
It is imperative we don’t confuse that with being silent.
When we are silent, it is a proactive motion to resolve our issues.
When we are lifeless, it is reactive to protect ourselves.
Silence is good. It heals.
Preparation, specifically how you prepare, is the difference between these.
For the former – repetition – it’s about steadying one’s self for repeated acts. If one isn’t ready, he or she becomes numb, and disaster will strike.
For the latter – risk – it can be painful. If one doesn’t “heal” properly, one won’t be released. One also needs to understand that without having healed, he or she is going into it with far more risk. If that isn’t acknowledged, there will be panic and disaster will strike.
In video games, you get only one choice – take a risk or repeat. In life, you can do both.
