The way we act  --  Week 6  

Every positive action makes a better world. 

Every thought and action has consequence.

If everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made, then if you want a different result, you need to make a different choice. 

Human lives are composed of billions of actions of body, speech and mind which take place every minute from the moment of birth until the second when we take our last breath.

How we choose to act defines and colors the quality of our life and experiences.

How we act is not only important for our own welfare, but also for others.

Through our actions we have the choice to nurture friendships, families, community and society – or to bring pain and disharmony. 

Everything we do sets in motion a chain of events.  The deeper we probe into this, the stronger is the call to pay intense attention to how we think and subsequently behave, because the consequences can be so complex and far reaching. 

Topics for discussion:  (From 16-G PDF)

1. Just as it takes an apple seed to grow an apple tree, the results of our actions connect to the causes that we create. Take a moment to review whether your habits and patterns bring the results you seek. If they don’t align, what are the challenges?   

2.  Kindness, honesty, generosity and right speech are aspects of the 16 Guidelines that are presented under this wisdom theme. How do they influence your actions?
