Preparation

The next step, as we grow and develop in a responsible way of life, is to learn to be proactive and preempt irresponsible thinking before it ever happens. To do this we must learn to recognize all the situations and environments which may lead to irresponsible thoughts, and then avoid them. We can also prepare ourselves by thinking through difficult situations and deciding beforehand how we plan to think and act if, and when, any of these situations come up.

Through preparation, we gain more control over our thinking. And when a difficult situation does arise, we will be ready to make the right choice instead of simply allowing our old, ineffective subconscious programming to shape and guide our lives.
