About This Quote

If you were given everything you ever wanted, but would not take action to achieve it, you would be wasting your life. You would be just as well off living in a cave. Action is the key to success, not the result of success. The power to act is what makes us human.

It is what separates us from all other creatures on Earth. We are the only creatures that can do anything different than what we’ve done before. The ability to decide to do something new and different is what gives us our freedom from being controlled by our environment.

Action comes from the human will. And, just as a doctor can give you a pill that will make you better, so too can the will to action.
