When a person feels something bad, it is good if this person thinks: I want to do something because of this.
When someone thinks like this, it is good if they do something because of this.
"Sasha's car has broken down. Sasha feels bad because of this. Sasha thinks 'I can do something now. I can fix some things. If I can't fix it, I can call someone for help.' Because of this, Sasha looks at the problem, and then phones for some help."
"Alright then. They don't have any small boxes in stock in any of their stores, and I need it tomorrow. I will get the things to make them instead. It's more work, but I will have them like I need."
