Life is the Power to Act
As I watched Star Trek at the movies the other night I felt like something was lacking. Great movie and all, but compared to my daily life I felt inhibited.
Near the end of the movie it hit me.
You have no Power to Act while watching a movie.
The wonderful things in life are those in which you have the power to interact and create.
While watching a movie you are reduced to less interactivity than even a rock who atleast has an impact on the breeze as it flows.
Life is incredible when you go out there and make decisions.
Whether you are redirecting your finances or breathing in the air at the park, these are the actions in which you have the opportunity to grow and take action.
When you go and take action you discover another half of yourself that you didn’t know existed and find a huge supply of energy.
So right now, pick the next task towards your dreams and do it. Don’t think about, DO IT!

Very interesting. The rock metaphor … it makes me notice the power of the thunderstorms that approach my house. We can be so much more powerful. Thank you Jarrod.

@Bartisimo: It is truly amazing what we can achieve if we apply ourselves rigorously.
