….And the Wisdom to Know the Difference

Is it ever really the right thing to do, to do nothing?
 
I believe that the following statement is true: When nothing yet has succeeded, try doing something different!  (And “try, try again” if you still don’t take the step forward that you were searching for.)
 
When you have set a goal, don’t give up on reaching it. There are more choices in our actions toward reaching that goal than we realize. Be imaginative. Try doing something different! A life coach can help generate alternative choices if you are feeling stuck. Do something different! Do anything different!

​When faced with a problem it is never the right thing to do nothing. Most “wise” thinkers have agreed with me on this point:
