I think there is something more important than believing: Action! The world is full of dreamers. There aren’t enough who will move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize their vision.

– W. Clement Stone.


ACTION!

Let me tell you a story.

Two young men sat on a hill one starry night. They both looked at the stars and wondered what it would be like to actually be around the stars. They discussed at length how fun it would be and how beautiful the stars would look out there.
Everyday from that night, they sat there basking in the glory of the stars. They did that, for seven years.
Years passed, and they soon began to forget their ritual. Then one day they had to move out of town individually, each carrying on with their lives.

Another seven years passed, and they got contact with each other again. They were having a few drinks, looking up at the stars from the same hill, when they saw a shooting star. One of them said "I wonder what it would be like to be in space. I wonder what the stars feel like."

The second replied "Well I've not been to the stars, but I can definitely tell you what the moon feels like."
He was an astronaut, and he'd been to the moon, and was indeed the first man on the moon. I'm sure you know who that man is.

Disclaimer:

The above story is purely fictional, and is used basically as an illustrative tool. Any resemblance to individual, body or character is purely for writing and informative purposes.

The world never celebrates dreamers. Really they don't. Nobody cares about your dreams.
Hurtful as it may seem, its the whole bitter truth. All of the world's greatest achievers have been those who had dreams and took action. They never waited around to be told what to do.
Like the old saying goes "If you don't build your dreams, someone will hire you to help build theirs."

Want to build a house? Take action. Want a car? Take action. Want a job? Take action. Want to lose weight? Just take a freaking action.
Do not sit there, dreaming of the pleasures too long else you may just end up not knowing what it'd actually feel like.

Its a #newyear, 2019 .
This is a great time to take action. The world is waiting to see you shine.
Don't let your dreams slip past you this year.

Take Action!
