A definition of taking action means various paths to take an idea or thought towards. This can be a literal call to action such as protesting others on a new level of equality. This can be a moment to repent on actions previously taken. This can be a communication step towards a new person even with anxious feelings underlying. These are more visible actions which others are able to irrefutably notice immediate impacts.
There are also actions like this which are much more subtle or scheming in nature. To plan out a dream from childhood and building foundations from those to not deviate towards the overall dream. To imagine how to make a family of one’s own and persist on meeting people until it falls into place. To create an idea in mind and make it literally a new object or piece for others to interact with.
To what limit is a courageous act considered and what has it been limited to by logical standards. There’s the standards which is uphold as a child and learning how to grow from those lessons is an act, though more internal and projecting those externally. This is a way to affirm internally struggles and release them to the outside. The methodology of this change is a constant display of growth. Whether that is a minor habit to become more hygienic or to make a major change towards what the heart desires, these can be considered acts of courage.
However, when external influences of others overly cloud what is considered your true form, then it can manipulate what those acts appear to become. Such as how music can persuade how an individual sees the artist behind it. The music may be something grand or profound, however if the artist who made this music hasn’t performed their own inner form of courageous acts, then how can one decide to support them only by what is being publicly displayed? What is shown externally is not as black and white in regards to what is made. There are plenty of acts which turn out to become much worse when showcased. This is due to a lack of understanding the true self and how then it becomes displayed out in the act. To not know oneself means what is displayed is a reflection of the environment around them instead of their actual selves.
Which is why discernment is needed when finding out what to display to others. Because knowing to express oneself is important, yet it’s also difficult due to fears of messing up or being perceived incorrectly. Find those who reflect oneself and do not diminish the light you wish to project. What you display will allow others to be able to grow as needed throughout their lives. As you grow from what lights are given off by others displaying their own as well.
