The Importance of Taking Action

7 replies
Hi guys,

My grandmother died last night.
She was 75 years old and had a very hard life, as have most of her generation.
She was born into a kind of poverty very few of us in Western countries today experience, but was not uncommon in the early decades of last century.
She worked hard her whole life, raised a family of five children on her own after her husband died young and never had much of a chance to discover her true self or explore her dreams.
She didn't have the opportunities we have today, especially those to create a good income from home on a computer.
This life is so precious guys, don't waste a day of it. It goes far too quickly to be unhappy and live with fear and worry.
Take action now, today, whatever it may be. Sign up as an affiliate, write that blog post or article, submit to the directories, start or finish that ebook. Just start it. It doesn't need to be perfect, just make a start and get the ball rolling, you can always fix up any problems later.
This world will be a much better place with more people living their dreams, so take action now!

Cheers,
Sissy

    Very inspiring post, thanks for that!

    I think people in our generation forget how lucky we are. If you think of only (relatively) recently to get to another country would take days or weeks, and normally several of your travelling party might have died.

    Yet these days we have the possibility to talk to someone the other side of the world, to travel the world, to run a business from home,

    TRULY EXCITING TIMES i say, time for me to take action.

        Thankyou, she was unwell for quite a while. I'm happy she's at peace now.

        Thanks,
        Sissy

      I couldn't agree more, we're so lucky to have the opportunities we have today. I'm happy you're motivated and wish you every success.

      Cheers,

      Hey Sissy,
      My sympathies on your loss.

      My parents are both 84 and battlers all their lives, find the opportunities for current generations incredible. They have encouraged me in whatever I've undertaken (still do - and I'm no chicken), no matter how unfathomable it is to them.

      Earlier this year I told my mother I was a guest presenter on a webinar, and she asked me if I had to go to the city for that..... prescious. So I packed her up to my house, hooked up her headphones and watched her face change from ignorance and trepidation to wonder!

      You are right - carpe diem!

      Thanks for the post
      Kerry

        They're certainly cut from a much tougher cloth those older folks and have lived through things we couldn't imagine today.
        You're blessed to have such supportive parents (as am I), she'll be thinking you're a celebrity now, god love her!
        Thanks for your condolences.

        Cheers,
        Sissy

    Hi Sissy,

    Sorry to hear about your loss. I agree, life is too short, and the older you get the faster life passes you by. I often think about how technology has advanced and how it might develop further in the future. I think people obsorb the things they have around them without actually realising how blessed they are, and therefore it is easy to take these things for granted. There's a whole world out there for the taking and the possibilites are endless. To think that all someone needs these days to make money is an internet connection, a pc and a bank account. It's quite amazing.

    I agree. Don't ponder on what could be. Get stuck in and do it, then anjoy the fruits of your labour, no matter how small it may be.

    Thanks for the inspiring post.

    Andy
