Just Do It!

"Action speaks louder than words, it is said".  I think that this is largely true and many people, including myself, have lost the ability to do something about a problem, or a concern.  I prefer to surround myself with people that are driven by action, because it assists me in situations, where I would rather back away, or settle for something, like lesser service, or people taking advantage, to keep the peace.  In fact it is often those very situations, that steal our peace and leave us with resentment, bitterness and ill feeling.  We end up holding on to this and it seems to rear its head over and over, becoming like a habit.  There are others that confront negative situations and very easily deal with a problem, instead of leaving it to fester, like an irritating sore.  Sometimes, we are good at certain situations and making sure that our actions are telling and yet in other situations we need support and guidance from others, to set the example or tone in achieving a result. What I can venture to say, is that trying to act is far better than waiting until the very end and then be left with a reaction.  There are certain realities with non-action, which are guaranteed.  You will firstly not achieve the goal, as it will not just come to you, secondly you will feel, if it is a real desire, that you are left feeling in-complete until you have made the first step to challenge the goal or dream, thirdly the repercussions of non- action are guilt, resentment, bitterness and disquiet (certainly not qualities you want to walk around with). Finally, eventually non-action will lead to non-fulfillment, or even failure, because others will be more driven and more focused on the result and will get there, while you are still considering the consequences of taking that first step.  So show fortitude, no matter if the result initially does not go your way.  Be persistent seekers of the result you desire and mostly never wait for other to deliver the result for you, because mostly they will either fail you, or see the picture you were wanting and take it for themselves.  If you have people that stand up for you, grab hold of them and go shoulder to shoulder with them, for as long as it takes to achieve your dream and I have no doubt, that you will find that your action will result in encouraging others with the same fears, to tackle something they really want to achieve.  Enjoy the ripple of actions.
