Not taking action? Forget about happiness

As frustrating as the first part of today's quote is, the fact is that action does not necessarily bring us happiness.   As someone who is a long time fanboy of those who urge massive and consistent action (Tony Robbins / Grant Cardone and the like), my focus has been on making sure I'm moving all aspects of my life forward each day and doing so in a way that leads to a particular destination.  My initial response to this quote was a bit on the negative side, but the second half of it redeems Disraeli's position quite nicely.

While action in and of itself won't bring happiness - doing nothing will assure that you have NO happiness at all.  As I talked about yesterday, you can't simply rush out and start taking actions without a plan, but one key factor to remember is that without action - you are absolutely guaranteed of two things - your life will stay right where it is, and sadly your happiness will be a casualty of that behavior as well.

As you start the new week, is there an area of your life that needs action?  Are you moving your life forward on a number of fronts or simply trying to get through the day?  Make today the day you not only commit to taking action to make your life better - but commit to taking some action towards your goals.... without it - there can be no true happiness.  Make it a great Monday and make this week your best ever.  #startuplife #WhateveritTakes #NoLetUp #TakingActionDaily #StrivingtobeBetterDaily #Grateful #LivingtheDream #ThriveExperience
