Sometimes you won't WANT to help them with their needs.
Sometimes you will feel ashamed, of not "doing" what "they need". Sometimes you will feel frustrated that what you offer IS NOT ENOUGH?

This is when actions can sometimes become abstract. Because this is when calling someone on the phone won't work, when a marketting plan you create might be too dry, when you will be left staring at your sales funnel thinking "why the hell isn't it working".

Abstract actions, are when we overcome, the shame of what others see as "inaction", and by doing so CREATE a new definition of what action CAN BE.


Action has a pattern, and the pattern is something like
a) positive + productive
b) removing distaste for tough things and being more open to dynamic things
c) seeing meaning behind the walls that block communication, and helping people speak
d) believing that impossible things are not only possible but the GOAL (it becomes realistic through hard work)
e) YOU CHANGE, and it hurts at first, you get bitter about it, but then you get ok, and then you get great (and you have to remove the last bits of it)

So if you are trying to create an action
that is impossible
that needs you to change and become another person
that requires that you understand something that no one will tell you
that requires that you get over distaste
that requires that you are more positive and motivated before you do it
Then remember that the ABSTRACT nature of your dismay is nothing to be ashamed of.

Just be sure it doesn't ALWAYS consume you, that you have a plan to make it TO THE END of each rabbit hole, and not to get lost in the dismay and abstractness of it all.
Keep as clear, undistracted, and resourceful as you can. Even better have it be fun and attainable.

Don't ALWAYS be abstract though :p
Put up some key actions on your pin board, and work towards a realler and more tangible goal, because the more you act in the real world, the more confident you really are

Don't get lost in "your own world", thinking it is a fight to change the world.
Remember that each moment is a CHANCE to actually DO IT.
And always remember that DOING IT, is everything you do all the abstract work for.


Don't let "ashamed of my inaction" be who you see yourself as.
Burn bright with the idea that "I'm not ashamed to DO" and make sure you are honest with yourself about what you actually are doing and WHY.

Hopefully, one day, you can PROVIDE ENOUGH, and execute well enough, that success comes to you.
