Welcome to the Effects of Action
Well, here we are.
Life has got a funny way of working doesn't it? I want to ask you some questions. Does it seem that things can go so wrong for long, and that there is no way out? Does it seem that life tightens its grip on you like a vice through emotional issues, financial burdens, and focus that leads us on the ultimate path to the destination of mediocrity. For 20 years, this was me. I was a mess, I was psychologically alone, and that my success or happiness was not as important as anyone else's. I was just another pawn in the world, and my life had no meaning or value. Until I decided to stop it.
Fast forward about a year from that day, or "breaking point" as I like to call it, I feel reinvented. I have learned more in mere months than I had throughout my entire life that preceded this journey. You know what the most exciting part is? I still have a much longer way to go. I have places to see, people to meet and love, and goals to achieve, and this my friends is one of those goals. I am continuously growing.
I am starting this blog because I have one ultimate goal in life. To help each and every person understand their path to greatness. This goal that is going to be achieved by small victories every single day through the practice of kaizen. There will be many ups to this journey, and there will also be many downs. However, this goal of mine will be achieved because of one simple word,
Action.
The word that changed my life forever, and the word that will change yours as well.
Many new places have been explored, many people have been met, and above all else the lessons I have learned have turned into experience through action.
I share my experience because I have not reached my highest goals yet, but I am not naive to the fact that I have achieved goals as well. I have achieved so much for myself throughout this past year that I can barely recognize the man who I was mere months ago. The most exciting part? I have so much more to grow. But that is my life, not yours. I want this to help you.
I can't force you to become an action taker, only you can do that. Only you can take the reigns on your life, and set the goals that ultimately define your success. You can go a high as you want as long as you believe and want it bad enough.
I am simply here to post what I have been thinking. To post the points where I have experienced change. To post about my experiences in self investment, people who have changed my life, lessons that I have picked up, and experiences no matter how small or large that I felt were necessary to achieve happiness.
Emotions will fly, discoveries will be made, and growth will be achieved for the both of us.
To keep it simple, we call that living.
So sit back, read away, learn from my words, hell even criticize them because we are all here to learn and grow.
Welcome to the Effects of Action. It is time for you to start living.
