"Give your brain a rest. There is nothing wrong with thinking but thinking demands action to make any sense. You can't think your way into relationships, insights, great ideas. You have got to create them, have them, DO them." 
- Kevin Roberts, CEO, Worldwide Saatchi & Saatchi

We’ve all been there and we’ve all said it – “wouldn’t it be cool if they came out with a __________ ,” or “they should make something that does __________” or even “this would be so much better if they ­­__________.”

Now think for a second – who or what is they? They is not some mystical force from above. They is not a secret government organization responsible for everything around us. They is you, they is me and they is everyone around us.

Everyday, there are a countless numbers of suggestions made, by people everywhere, about how this world could be cooler, easier and better – these are what we call ideas. Yet, everyday, a countless number of these ideas are brushed off, forgotten about and ultimately passed by, never to be thought about again.

Meanwhile, everyday, there are cool new things popping up around us, whether it’s technology, books, art, websites or something completely different. All of these things are created by people; human beings, just like you and me.

So why do some ideas float away while others become real? It’s simply because some people are dreamers and some people are do-ers.

Dreamers think about how things could be better, while do-ers make them better.

Dreamers think about quitting their job and doing what their heart wants, while do-ers tender their resignation and pursue their passions.

Dreamers think about someday taking up a new hobby, while do-ers Google how to get started and jump right in.

Anybody can be a do-er and all it really takes is one small step forward - a commitment to yourself to reach outside of your comfort zone to see what happens if you do.

Sure, ideas sometimes fail and things don’t always pan out as planned, but I’m yet to meet a do-er who has regrets.  So next time you think what “they” could or should be doing, think about how different things might be if you do it instead of just dream it.
