What Do You Do When You Do Not Know What To Do?

Many a times we are faced with a situation where we do not know what to do. We are at a lost. We are scared. Unsure. Insecure.

This article below is a very good read from www.spirithit.com.


What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do
By Connie Habash

Stuck. Mind is blank. Out of options. You’ve come to an impasse - a situation in which you’re not sure which way to go. The path seems to just end there, and the overgrowth of the brush has covered the direction.

We all come to places and times in our lives when we don’t know what to do. We weigh our options, and none of them feels quite right, or they have big costs that we aren’t yet willing to pay. It can feel helpless, hopeless, and scary. We may feel that we’re alone and have to figure it out all by ourselves.

The only thing we can be certain of is that we can’t go back. Perhaps we are ready to leave a relationship that no longer works, or a job situation that’s become torturous. But leaving it leaves us wide open - a place of vulnerability in facing the unknown. Or, perhaps we’re willing to embark on a new career, or allow someone loving into our lives, but we just don’t know how. We feel compelled to figure things out, and figure them out quick. What way do I go, and how do I get there - fast!

We want to DO something. Granted, if we’re in a dangerous situation, we must act, and act swiftly, in order to get out of danger. But let’s assume that most of us aren’t faced with real danger, but a more imagined threat - the great mystery. This is the unknown of the future, which never tells all, despite our best attempts at getting advice from our friends, family, astrologers, psychics, and financial consultants!

Because we don’t know what’s ahead, the mind starts considering possibilities. If you have the kind of mind that worries and is often looking for the perceived threat, that potential danger that lies around the corner, sitting with the unknown can become pretty unbearable. So, we figure, we must come up with a PLAN. A plan gives us security. Then we feel like, yeah, I’m going somewhere. The plan is often based on how to protect us from the potential threats that the fear-based mind has come up with. And then we have to DO something about it.

Has this pattern occurred before in your life? This pattern tends to repeat over and over: we come to a crossroads, we don’t know what to do, we get scared, and we make a plan - a plan based on fear and self-protection, rather than on our heart. Instead of following what truly gives us joy, we fall into the trap of staying safe because we haven’t learned to sit with the uncomfortableness of not-knowing. We haven’t yet learned to BE.

Perhaps what the universe is calling for, rather than DOING something, is to sit down and BE. When we relax and allow ourselves to be, then something greater than us can come forth. When we’re trying so hard to DO and make something – anything – happen, we may be interfering with that process.

Think about the growth of a child. From a baby, the child naturally grows into an adult without any of us having to do something to make that happen. We don’t sit down with a plan, and say, “OK. In the first year, we’ll need to make the baby grow a foot, we’ll have to seal up the opening on the crown of the head, and we’ll need to have the following motor skills developed through this comprehensive plan, as follows.” How ridiculous! We know that if the baby receives proper nourishment, ample love, attentiveness from the parents, and is allowed to play and BE, nature takes it’s course. We don’t inject growth hormones into our children to try to make their growth happen. When everything is in order, it naturally happens.

There is a Taoist term that roughly translates as “the action that arises of itself.” It’s called Wu-Wei. When we become present, let go, and trust that something beyond us will show up, guess what - it does. In the philosophy of Taoism, everything has its own nature, it’s own essence, already within it. To quote from “The Tao of Pooh”, by Benjamin Hoff, “the more man interfered with the natural balance produced and governed by the universal laws, the further away the harmony retreated into the distance. The more forcing, the more trouble… Only then did life become sour.” Lao Tzu, the father of Taoism, observed that when the natural order prevailed, the people were happy. When the leaders of the country tried to control everything, the people became dissatisfied. Being worked much better than controlling.

Worried about nothing happening if you stop and just BE? Keep this in mind - the universe is always changing. Nothing ever stays the same for too long. If we give it a chance, by not-doing, the natural, harmonious action can bubble up to the surface. This is Wu-Wei.

Remember the old saying that you’d learn as a child when you were about to cross the street: “Stop, Look, and Listen”. There was more wisdom to this catch-phrase than meets the eye. This is about bringing ourselves into the present moment. Stop. Sit down, and be here. Don’t just do something - stand there, as the new saying does. Look. What are you experiencing? What do you notice around you? Listen. What do you hear, both around you in your environment and also in your heart?

We may find many things arising in us - sadness, anger, fear, joy, pain, excitement. Whatever arises, try to be present with it. Until we can embrace what’s inside us, it tends to drive us without us even knowing. Bring it out into the open and see what’s there. Sometimes holding it all inside covers over the part of ourselves that intuitively knows what’s best, much like the dust and dirt on a window can cloud your vision.

When we can see the accumulated stuff, we can begin to wipe the window clean and see outside - and inside - ourselves more clearly. Then, perceiving where we are and who we are in this moment, we can make better decisions. Wu-wei, the natural action, has the space to arise. Meditation, yoga, being out in nature, taking a bath, sitting in a park and watching the people and creatures all around you are some ways you can bring yourself back into the present.

Part of the difficulty in allowing ourselves to be present and letting our own natural essence come forth is that it’s hard to let go of control. Control can come in different flavors, but two stand out in my mind: trying to control the outside, and trying to control the inside.

We try to control the outside by mandating other’s behaviors, keeping everything predictable, sticking with what’s familiar. We try to control the inside by convincing ourselves that we know. It’s the belief that we can figure out how to get this situation back under control and protect ourselves from anything dangerous or unpredictable happening. We’ll insulate ourselves so well in our mind and in our life, avoiding any possibility of the discomfort of not-knowing what to do, by the attachment to controlling.

Not Knowing may be uncomfortable, but it’s loaded with possibility. It’s unrestricted. Knowing all the time can become a huge defense field, deflecting off any unfamiliar experience. This can develop, if unchecked, into a haughty and dismissive attitude that pushes people, as well as new experiences, away. Once we let go of the need to know, something inside relaxes. We open ourselves to new ways of being, doing, and potential solutions. Ironically, this opens us to learning and discovering much more than if we had clung onto to needing to know.

The truth is, we can’t always know what to do, and we can’t always be in control. If we insist on it all the time, there’s a heavy cost. It’s exhausting, both mentally and physically, for one thing. And it robs us of spontaneity and new possibilities. We stay stuck in our same old familiar but stagnant state.

If we can let go of control and allow our ride to be a little bumpy, we might finally get into some new territory. Practice some relaxation poses, open yourself, and trust that if you let go, you’re still safe. Then, try some yoga poses that you’ve never tried before! Some other practices for letting go of control: for one day, don’t tell anyone what to do or how to do things; leave one full weekend completely unplanned, then see what happens; take a trip somewhere without making any reservations; take off on a drive without any idea where you’re going, and just spontaneously see where you end up; let someone ELSE drive the car! Practice the affirmation, “I let go, knowing that the universe protects me and provides for me.” See what happens when you begin to live your life based more in trust rather than in fear.

So step back and relax. You don’t have to know what to do. Something inside you, in your deepest self, already does. You can make the choice to step aside, trust, and let go. You can choose to allow a direction to arise that isn’t based on old fears and clinging to what is familiar and safe, by releasing and Being. Have you considered the possibility that it might even be fun? Let the Divine have the driver’s seat, and enjoy the ride. It just may take to you where you truly want to go.

Why Do We Pray If God Is Not In Our Heart?

Don't get me wrong here. This is not about any specific religion. What I am about to write here has nothing to do with specific religion, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Christian or any other sect. I am looking into us, men & women, human being, believers in God.

Please leave this page if you are an atheist.

Do we pray, give offerings and praise our God because it is written in the religious holy book? Do we pray because your religion "dictates" that you have to perform prayers at such and such time, at such and such day, at such and such venue? Do we pray because it is merely a practice? a routine? or

Do we pray because God is in our heart?

Argument from the atheists will be that "where is God?" and/or "who can prove God exists?". And taking from here, may I ask another question, "why do people commit evil deeds in the name of God?" I never understand this!

Why do you perform prayers? Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus? Why? Is it merely a duty, a routine, or you just pray because you are afraid that you'll be "punished" if you don't?

What is the real reason or purpose that you pray? I belief there are many of us only pray, or look onto God, when we are facing with obstacles, at times of adversity, when we are in pain, at a lost, safe for many others are truly devoted to their beloved God. For these people, do you call yourselves a truly, purely, a member of that religion?

Then my question will be again, why do people commit evil deeds when they proclaim themselves a truly devotee to God?

God is in our heart, all the time. God is not a word of mouth.

Remember this. People betray people! People cheat people! People kill people! God does not and did not in anywhere instruct, advise, call out, dictate that you betray, cheat, lie or kill in his name! You did it on your own accord!

Who Can Run A Country Better? U or I??

Generally speaking, all these years Chinese has been dominating the country's economy, while Malays were concentrated in their traditional villages, focusing mainly on agricultural activities, and educated Indians took up professional roles such as those of doctors or lawyers, while the less better-off worked the plantations.

Some even claimed that our country will not reach its current economic position without the Chinese. (*i dunno whether tis is rite or wrong bcos im not an economist or sumthing) But since the Chinese are so smart in handling monetary wealth, the underlying question is can Chinese run a country properly? or should it be left to the Malays or Indians? (wow.... i see here there r fire in d eyes of all d Chinese out there now... hold on to your guns)

Surely many will take Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and Lee Kwan Yew as their basis for their arguement that definitly Chinese a better leader to run a country. Undeniably, they are calibre and successful running their country. However, there are exceptions. Rite?

Imagine this. The Malays build the country and unify the people. The Indian modernized the country. And the Chinese ruinning it.

So I Am A Chinese or Indian Huh...!!? And U..?

This is so confusing... a boy came home one day and asked his mother "mommy, am I Chinese or Indian?". Mommy replied, "darling, u r a Chinese"

"But mommy, why my friends at school say i m Indian? Then say i got dark skin, so i m Indian", the boy claimed. The mother tried to explain, "darling, ur dad n mommy got married, n u r our son. And ur dad is a Chinese n mommy is an Indian. So u might have gotten mommy's gene for the dark skin. But u r a Chinese by origin" The boy seemed satisfied with mommy's reason.

Then the little boy asked, "mommy, my friend Jamal in school say he is a Malay. But i see his daddy looks like my daddy. I think he is a Chinese. Why Jamal is not Chinese?"

Laughed My A*** Out... hahahaha

I just got tis email fr a friend n wat most interest me is tis "Wanna Know Why Ur Kid Failed In Exam?"
