Deciding to Be a Person of Action
When 140 characters just aren’t enough, there is always the blog.

And so, a short Friday post that comes from my mom’s email to my sister and me earlier today… to my publish button… I share this from Andrew Wood:
“No matter where you stand in your business, career or life (and no matter what challenges you now face), when you make the conscious decision to become a person of action (rather than being indecisive) you instantly turn the tide of life in your favor.”
The number of times I’ve seen this play out in my own life and in the lives of those around me (at times of triumph: for the better, and, at times of despair: for the worse) is beyond fingers-and-toes math [read: lots and lots / >20]. Whether it is deciding to actively pick up the phone or taking time to meet in person, versus sending an email / waiting for a response via passive channels or making a serious life change or shift in attitude — taking action (provided it is the reasoned action and not [too] hastily done) is what I personally strive for and respect in others.
