Doing Something vs. Doing Nothing

Feb 20, 2021

If you’re unhappy you only have two options…

Option #1 — Do something.

Option #2 — Do nothing and complain.

Only Option #2 guarantees that your situation will never get better.

Taking action doesn’t magically mean that your life will get better.

Taking action doesn’t mean that you won’t succumb to setbacks, failures, redirection and disappointments.

But taking action will always be a better outcome than the alternative.

The Option #2.

Which always has the same guarantee.

Nothing will change.

Nothing will get better.

You will never be happy.

Which option will you pick?
