Dragos:
Great article(s). I am dealing with toxic relationship that my first reaction causes me to fear ending – I may have to end other relationships that are tied to it. But that reality doesn’t exist yet – I can take action. I have bookmarked your site – your thinking is very uplifting. Thank you.

So many reactions to one mans(dragos) action… Ironically on the post Empowering Action over reaction… !!!! As Doru wrote or maybe not, there is a very thin line between Action and Reaction… The same act can be taken as action or reaction… For both there must be a stimulus, external or internal… Action/Reaction are like twin brothers, the one difference is that one empowers u , the other overpowers u…But Which is one empower u ?????
It is very difficult in most cases to differentiate b/w them. My very act of giving a opinion , Action/reaction have only a subtle difference, is a reaction to the This post theme… “Take Action”. Inspired by dis blog, i decide to take action, but then that itself is a reaction to this post…. wat is it im really doing ???
Nice post dude… Keep it coming…

[...] Acting after accepting your situation will reorganize the odds around you. The mere fact of moving in a new direction will bring in some luck. Sometimes enough to put you on the right track again, sometimes much more than you can even imagine. I know for sure that some of my bigger breakthroughs were born out of some of my bigger frustrations. [...]

Results verses excuses.Well I have to say I am responsible for taking action with positive results the mindset. Excuses I feel there are no excuses unless I cower from achieving the results I want. In most matters there is no tolerance for negotiation.
I don’t see things in black and white but many colors.

Thanks for your kind words, as always, Celes. This XX vs YY approach is actually helping me clarifying a lot the topic and the goal of the post. It’s like a mental exercise which always boost some creativity juice.

Great article dragos! I like your XX vs YY format which decks out the facts very clearly. I'm really passionate about being proactive. The results we get from acting drives us further - essentially an automatic spiral upwards (provided the right conditions are in place). .-= Celes | The Personal Excellence Blog´s last blog ..How To Overcome Procrastination â€“ Part 5 =-.

Hey, thanks for sharing. Never thought at this analogy but it’s obvious now. It’s the bird-eye of the “board” which can free us from the constraints of an apparent “local”, forced choice.
