Second, there really is a choice. But there is no right or wrong choice. There is no choice that is good or bad, brave or cowardly. Every decision you make is the right decision for you. Choose the passive role or the active role. Both will be right. In these matters, you know better than anyone else what is good for you. If you decide to try all or none of the following suggestions, that is the right decision for you. You cannot make a wrong decision.
Another fact that's important for you to know is that if you decide to try any or all of these suggestions and they don't seem to be working, that doesn't mean that you aren't doing them right or that you're not trying hard enough or that you're inadequate in some other way. Be assured that you are doing whatever is to be done as well as "it" can be done.
