This morning I was perusing Facebook as I am wont to do as I wait for my kids to get ready for school and I came across a post from a very good friend that was a simple link to an image I had seen before many times but never really took the time to fully grasp how close it was in meaning to my life.
When I say my life, I truly mean it as my life has had a bit of a renaissance of late. New career, new outlook on relationships both personal and interpersonal, needless to say there are a lot of new things in my life that echo this image that I will post at the end of today's blog.
About a week and a half ago, I attended a workshop in Toronto that was primarily a real estate expo but also had business and self-advancement coaching there as well, which was the primary reason for my attending. On of the people I truly look up to, Tony Robbins, was there and his three and a half hour spectacle (no better word to describe it) ended the day on such a high note, it was impossible to go back to the way of life I was living previous. It was almost as though my senses had been re-awakened. I saw things differently, I smelled things differently, I was living life differently.
Tony Robbins talks about taking massive action and I thought that was just a catch-phrase at first. Now I know what he truly means. Massive action involves looking down in to your very core and seeing what truly makes you happy. Amongst others, your career should make you happy. I don't mean your job, I mean your career. Another friend of mine recently reminded me that jobs are something for kids to do over summer. If you are working full time and are out of school, then your "job" is your career. If your career does not make you happy, then you need to take massive action to change that. Why would you spend more than half of your waking hours doing something that does not make you happy?
Now, before I hear the clamour of those that think that they have no options... allow me to point you to your cell phone. That piece of technology has more power than the lunar lander that took man to the moon in 1969.
Think about that for a second.
Really think about that.
Okay, are you back?
Good. Let's continue.
Today, thousands of people are finding their passion and marketing their passion using that very cell phone. I have a cousin who is selling makeup. I have a friend who is promoting their gaming ideas. It is the core of my business where I help parents and their Gen Z kids (I can help anyone though, so don't be afraid to ask!

So, today take massive action.
Find your passion.
Find out how to sell it.
Use the tools available to you, you know, that phone in your hand that you are probably reading this blog from.
Take it and run with it, but don't just listen to me. Listen to the creator of Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson. (art by zenpencils.com) If the image is too small to read, click on the link below.
