You made my day! Wonderful reminder to get up and just DO! My full upvote!

Yes, there are the DO's and the DONT's, talkin', griping, blaming and never doing is like a plague and we must be aware every day to DO and take the responsibility for our own sake. I'm a type of person who takes calculated risks from my point of view and just do something, sometimes for others very crazy, but for me a necessary thing, because my thinking ist like the Investment Punk you can live a life in mediocrity easily today. We have such high life standards.

If i look to my neighborhood i see a couple who watching many many hours TV each day. They have a dog. Normal people make longer walks, they just go out of the door to the next tree 5m away and back to their flat to watch again.. that's life in the gutter from my point of view.. but in this world you have AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES, you can found a company over night and make a million in one year with luck or you work your way up over years, create things you never dreamed of. But you have to MOVE! Like the german singer Herbert Grönemeyer said

"Standstill is the death."

german:

"Stillstand ist der Tod."

Change is difficuilt for us, between the two pillars of helplessness and habit like Brian Tracy said. It's important make you aware and break out as fast as possible, burn the bridges, which obviously can harm other people mentally who are not in line and wanna live further in mediocrity.

If you have such friend, i think it's very difficuilt to take off full throttle, because you're like your reference group, it is said that 85% of our habits are build by our reference group if we want or not. Maybe you can awake him as best friend and build a business together or just leave him alone.. BUT please don't do what i say, it's your decision and just my opinion!
