While we may meet likeminded peers who support us along the path, no one can do the work for us.“𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧” provides a sense of accountability along with freedom because we have a choice. We cannot control the results but we can control our Actions. The actions we choose are what “𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞” our lives.
