The Solution of a Problem is— Inaction

I used to believe that all the leaders of the world have a strong mind. They were able to achieve extraordinary things in their life because of their strong foundation of self esteem, confidence and optimism.

Recently, I got to know that some of the biggest leaders— like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Winston Churchill were depressed in their youth.

And because of these issues, they were more empathetic towards other people. They felt others pain more deeply.

The civil rights movements of both Mahatama Gandhi and Martin Luther King was a result of their compassion and empathy towards other people.

> Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.

— Martin Luther King Jr.

Challenges always comes in life. You don't even know when shit might hit you in the face.

Being prepared doesn't work because life is always ready with a new and different kind of challenge.

Over time, one thing I have learnt is that bad things never stop to happen in life.

People say that life is a cycle. That good times always comes after bad. Maybe they forgot about people like me.

When a bad event happened in my life, unexpectedly. I used to complain, take abrupt actions and blame others. But now I have realized that it will keep happening, so blaming others someone won't work. Neither would unplanned actions.

In fact, taking no action is a lot better than taking action that will act against me in the future.

### Take No Action— Just think.

![How 12.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/looftee/Cy2SeS6i-How2012.png)

Whenever I take action in a bad situation, things get worse for me.

So, it's always good to do nothing at all. Not even try to solve the problem. The best thing I could do at times like these is to **think**.

I remember a story about John F Kennedy. When Soviet Union constructed missile sites in Cuba, everyone suggested him to destroy the sites.

But he thought it through. If he failed to do so, a catastrophe would happen.

So, he didn't do anything at all. Instead, he spent the time thinking about the problem. And stopped the construction of nuclear sites through the blockade of Cuba. Solved the crisis with peace.

If John. F. Kennedy can solve such big crisis with no actions and just peaceful thinking, I can also solve my problems with peaceful thinking. After all, my crisis aren't so big. There are no catastrophic events involved. Just small events that eventually pisses me off and reminds me how shitty life can be. And how much I need to work, to take action to change it.

So, for peace and clarity of my mind. I try to attain some silence and then think about the situation.

I stop doing everything. And think about it till I find some reasonable answers.

Highly interesting topic.

I felt it deserved way more attention, so I played my magic and gave it some ( minnow support ) love.

Compassion, empathy - depression lead to great people.

As a hypersensitve person ( and probably an empath too ) who has been depressed for a long time ( and is finally doing quite a lot better ) I can totally understand that.

We need to go through struggle and experience contrast, to reach the opposite. Learn what we don't like to get clear on what we do like and so on and so forth.
 
The book(s) that I'm working on since last September - The Story of Hypersensitivosaurus - is talking about all this, and aiming to help people by writing about turning so called 'weaknesses' into strengths and so  much more ). It's my contribution to this world / my first passion project.  

> Take No Action— Just think.

( very Taoist )

I would take it a step further than this and add:

> try to not think, clear your mind, first and let go of resistance.

I know that's easier said than done though ( I'm an overthinker myself ) :<)

Anyhow, if non doing and sitting to think, works for you: Keep (not) doing it! ;<)

✨

P.S. I think you might like this (audio) book. It's one of many I'm listening to these days:

The Tao Made Easy ( by Alan Cohen ) 

P.P.S. You should post in the [Natural Medicine community](https://peakd.com/c/hive-120078). Topics like these will fit in perfectly.

Wow, thanks a lot for such support. It's very rare that anyone find some meaning in my posts. Really thanks for that and supporting.

I know right....I have been going through same....it took me so long to understand that I am such an overthinker...and somewhat depressed.

Reading some books has helped me a lot. So I continue that.

Didn't knew about Natural Medicine community, will try it. And the audio book too. Lol there was so much you shared. Thankyou❤️

I think it happens more than you might believe. You're a good writer. I'm following you from the sidelines, thanks to my buddy @inuke

> I know right....I have been going through same....it took me so long to understand that I am such an overthinker...and somewhat depressed.

You discovered all this at a fairly young age ( 26, right? ), I am 38 and only drastically changed my life around at the age of 34, burnt out by the system. I got into cryptos a year later, moved to Portugal in 2018 and never looked back.

Keep doing what makes you feel good or better, that's of paramount importance.

And yeah, I tend to give people loads of advice. That's just me. If you're open to learn, that's what you attract.

Take care and keep leveling up! ✨
