For a toxic person the impulses of the world reach only as far as his feelings. And his life is a reaction to the world. A positive person is responsive. He acts from conscious perception and he is truly

You must keep to action, moment to moment, as dictated by the energy of the event itself. See the event, the scene itself, and you will see with clarity what has to be done, if anything. Don’t do what
