Action!

I love the quotes on the back of the Huletts sugar packs and I always make a point of reading them before I put the sugar in my coffee.

On Monday morning when I was confronted with the closed doors of Pick n Pay, I decided to waste some time by walking around the centre a bit and then I saw that the Seattle Coffee Shop was open.  Perfect for the quick cup of coffee.

The quote on my sugar pack was as follows (and I can quote it not because I have a terrific memory but because I saved it for especially to share):

"You may never know what results come from your action.  But if you do nothing there will be no results." Mahatma Gandhi

So often we decide not to do something because we don't think that what we can produce will be good enough or that we will failure.  Often we don't know what will come of our actions, every human being has such potential and the ability to surprise even themselves - but in other to do that you have to take some action.

I thought that this quote was so relevant to me, since I have just broken away from the corporate world to finally work for myself.  To start the process I had to take a leap of faith - I decided to resign my full-time job not knowing fully what results would come from my actions.  At the moment, I am truely enjoying the results of my actions and the road that this leap is taking me.
