Your Own Rescue

No one is coming to save you.

If you want to be saved you will have to do it yourself.

“Acceptance is not surrender. It is the moment you stop wasting energy on what is already true and start using that energy to decide what to do next.” – Shane Parrish, Brain Food newsletter

Knowing what to do in your own rescue requires stillness.

You can’t run around like a chicken with your head cut off.

That will create more problems than it solves.

“Get yourself grounded and you can navigate even the stormiest roads in peace.” – Steve Goodier

Make a plan and when the time is right, act.

Time is running out.

In everyone’s life, there will come a time when we can’t take care of ourselves, much less come to our own rescue.

“Get busy with life’s purpose, toss aside empty hopes, get active in your own rescue – if you care for yourself at all – and do it while you can.” – Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 3.14

Don’t wait until it’s too late. You are the only one who can help yourself.
