And discontent is poison.
But action feeds progress, which rids the poison and negates discontent.
Here’s the reward for action:

It is so easy to back down from living in the now and pushing forward with our big (or simply enjoyable) dreams.
When the tough decisions have to be made to continue forward in the direction of something uncharted, we are tempted to wait.
If the decisions were easy, we wouldn’t need, or want, more time to decide.
And waiting becomes a (bad) habit.
Today is yesterday’s tomorrow.
Should we retire this year, at 55, and go full on with our retirement plans, or should we wait until 60 or 65?
See what I mean?
What would you do?
Retire in 2014 (55), 2021 (62) or 2024 (65)?
The longer you postpone retirement, the bigger the pension.
The sooner you launch your dream, the longer you get to work on it.
None of us had a definitive answer.

More and more convinced at this relatively unknown book’s power to challenge any reader, any age. To revive anyone’s hope that they matter and they can matter for others.
It’s a book bathed in love. It’s gentle, generous, direct, and compellingly hopeful.

Who is in love with exploring what’s impossible?
Everyone already knows what’s possible.
