Remember where that voice is coming from. Is it your family, your spouse, your company, the ad agencies, the government, the bank, or your mind? Who keeps giving you the message that you have no choice or that we have no choice?
Once you've figured that out, ask that voice what a super-hero would do, or a genius? Ask Nelson Mandela what he would do. What would your grandmother do?
Take notes. Write down all the other voices along with their answers. Put the notes away and come back to them later.
Going over those answers - are there any that you are capable of doing. You don't have to do anything you don't think you can do. Not now anyway. There may come a time when you really have no choice and there is no time to weigh up the costs, but now you can ask yourself what you can do.
At the very least, this exercise is one of privilege, and it can help us feel compassion for those whose only option is a dangerous trip on the sea or perish beneath the bullets and bombs.
