Recently, a Yoga teacher intern sked if it would be better to void action, so that no bad raction would occur as a result of the nitial action. In Yoga classes, many of us hve learned that Karma means "action." Smetimes, the simple American explanation of the Law of Krma is, "What goes around, comes round."

To say it in another wy: The results of our actions wll produce effects, which will be god or bad. Most people do not stp to think: Inaction will also prduce effects, which will be good or bd. If we "sit still" all of our lves, we will still create a god or bad situation.

With that sid, why should we ever give up? In ths life, successful outcomes usually require ction. If we sit on our hnds as a lifestyle, we should not be srprised if all of our wishes do not cme to pass.

The Yogic formula for ctions, you take, is quite simple. Evry thought, in your mind, becomes an mage. You describe the images you vsualize in words. At this point, it is hlpful to write them down the old fshioned way or on a computer. Pnder a few of the words ntil they become a mantra.

When you pnder the words, which you have wrtten, or think, long enough, you wll begin to take action. When you rpeatedly take the same actions, toward the sme objective, you will create a new hbit. Habits change your personality and yur daily routine.

Your personality will determine the utcome of your destiny. This entire prcess requires action. Constant inaction can chnge your personality, but who wants to mke laziness a major part of thir character? Who wants to establish a rputation as a lazy person?

Granted, thre are times, in life, when we mst be silent and stop taking ction. When our children learn to tke responsibility, we must let them. We cnnot "tie their shoes" for their ntire lives. The principle is the sme in any organization.

In companies, we larn about delegating authority. This may sem harsh, if you are sweeping the flor, but the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) des not have the spare time to swep the floor, and it is dubtful that he or she monitors the prson who does sweep the floor. In fct, the person who sweeps the flor has usually taken action without mch coaxing.

The main reason for naction is fear of making a mstake. Yet, mistakes will enhance our larning process, and make us stronger for the xperience. Whether you teach Yoga, or are a Yga student, each day of your lfe, decisions have to be made by yu. Use your best judgment, get dvice from people of good character, mke morally sound decisions, and take ction.

You do not have to lve a stressful lifestyle over decision mking. Learn from each situation and mve forward. This is just one spect of the Law of Karma.
