Taking Action

Massive action is the action we take and continue taking until we reach our goal.  Massive action is when we keep our sights on the goal and see failure as an opportunity to continue tweaking or try in a different way.

Passive action is all of the things that we do in preparation for action. Study courses, listening, practicing, reading, etc.  All of these things feel like action, but in fact, they keep us from reaching our goal. They don't get us the results that we are after. 

Passive action is about consumption, and Massive action is about creating. It doesn't matter what your goal is. It is more about who you become on your way to accomplishing it. Are you willing to feel uncomfortable and keep taking action anyway?

Don’t Quit

When Things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and debts are high,

And you want to Smile but have to sigh.

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest, if you must, but do not quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won had he stuck it out,

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,

You might succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up,

When he might have captured the victor's cup.

And he learned too late when the night slipped down,

How close he was to the golden crown,

Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint of clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far,

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
