Less Talking, More Action

For at least the last six months, I have been questioning my life. I have been questioning the decisions I've been making, my career path, my location, my wants, my needs, my friends, my family, EVERYTHING. I have felt for a long time that I am not doing enough with my life, I could be, rather should be, doing more. What am I doing, where am I going, how am I getting there, wait; if I don't know where I am going how do I figure out how to actually get there? These questions have been racking my brain for quite some time and what I noticed was, that in having conversations about these questions with other people my age, I am not the only one questioning life. 

It seems that I, and most of my good friends, are going through a quarter life crisis. The life after college and before the family. That in between time of our lives where we are thrown into the world with an abundance of education and not a lot of experience. College doesn't prepare you for life. It merely gives you the tools to navigate through it. But if you don't know where you are going, how do you know how to get there? 

Last night I went with friends to watch The Social Network, a movie about Facebook, a world-wide phenomenon that has made one twenty-something year old the youngest billionaire in the world. Billionaire. He had an idea, and he put that idea into motion, and in a mere six years, became a billionaire. Billionaire.

It got me thinking, this movie did. It generated conversations, and it really motivated me to stop questioning and start doing. I know what I want to do, I've always known what I wanted, I just wasn't sure how to get it. Until I got it; as Pablo Picasso once said, "Action is the foundational key to success". In order to succeed, you must DO something. You must take action, you must take all those ideas and conversations and make them happen. Because if you don't make something happen for yourself trust, no one else will. It's time to start doing instead of talking, it's time to start running instead of walking; it's time to take control of life, and start scratching the surface, of your fullest potential. ~V~

I will do something awesome with my life :)
