Theme 33: Action

Learning about other people's routines has less to do with what we should be doing, and more to do with informing us about what does or doesn't work for us.

I’ve always been intrigued by women’s stories, and I felt like as a filmmaker, you tell the stories that you know. You tell the stories that you understand.

How do you prepare for something that's never been done before...in a place where help is not on its way.

I also had the distinct advantage of having nobody who could tell me what couldn't be done.

Give people information so that they can take action and make a difference.

Don’t play it safe – take risks. Do something different. Get out in the community and talk to them. Find out what they need, what they want, and do it.

Ideas are pointless if you don’t act on them.

I believe in world peace through design. And I believe that we all are the people to make this happen.

I urge you not to waste or hide your superpowers.

I actually have hope! I have hope for the world because there are a lot of fabulous things happening!

You have to be crazy and to just have blind faith that you're building something that everybody will come to.

Every time I got frustrated, I was like I need to make a change.

I don't look at failure as anything other than a learning experience

(D.) The idea of failing.

(C.) Don't be a victim.

(B.) You have to believe in yourself.

These are the things that I fall back on to keep me sane. A, you have to find your purpose. Once I found that I knew that I had to chase the soul-gasm.

Soul-gasm and the quest for multiple soul-gasms, following that with all your heart.

Soul-gasm- that is when (you) from a very deep place within know that what you are talking about is what you love. That's what you have to do, that's what you have to follow.

The most important thing, I think, in life is to discover what your purpose is.

It's nothing but a series of blind faith action to get that on the screen.

Some of the most beautiful art that probably could ever exist is just floating around in people's heads. That is not being shared with the world- which only will happen once you finally take actions.

Do anything that you can possibly do in life to figure out what is the best way for you to become what you want to be exactly.

You simply have to find something out on your own. You have to experience something on your own.

Anytime that you have to giant project to do, you have to figure out how you are going to start, that's the hardest part.

Say yes to things that are challenging and frightening because that's what you'll grow from.

What I was discovering with these habits, is that they actually fit together like puzzle pieces. If you want to get up and have breakfast, it's probably a good idea that you wake up a little bit earlier. And to wake up earlier, it's probably a good idea that you go to bed the night before a bit earlier. And so to sleep better it's probably a good idea to turn off your phone and not read the whole internet before you try to go to bed.

Love a good to do list!

Don't look at failure as anything other than a learning experience.

Cuando vos accionas, definís quién sos.

Co-participar {…} y vincularte con un montón de diseñadores, ilustradores y artistas enriquece mucho más los proyectos.

La acción te vincula con personas. {…} Y esos vínculos son muy importantes para empezar a utilizarlos en tu entorno profesional.

Cuando estas errado en el camino, tenés que accionar hacia un lado en el que te sientas un poco más cómodo, un poco más feliz o un poco mas encontrado con lo que elegiste.

An idea will never, ever, ever work unless you act on it.

For me, action is making things.

¿Qué estamos haciendo por eso que nos indigna? Si no estamos haciendo nada HAGÁMOSLO

No podemos hacer nada más que HACER

La indignación es el motor para el cambio

La verdadera muerte es la resignación

Acción es tomar el riesgo de transformar algo que nos involucra física y emocionalmente con un aspecto de la realidad que no nos satisface

La ACCIÓN es arriesgarse

El fracaso es la condición necesaria para accionar

Antes de reinventarse, reventarse ¡Vale la pena!

Las acciones son como semillitas que le dan un sentido único a la existencia

L'action est tributaire de l'idée de projet.

To take action, you need a dream. If you don't have a dream, you can't even start.

"We wanted to prove a concept to people that it's possible for a for-profit company to operate like a non-profit."

No hay porque ser tolerante con la violencia

La acción es personal para que se vuelva grupal

C'est très difficile d'être dans une posture qui est à la fois fédératrice et dans le refus. Notre option, c'est d'essayer d'être en amont de cela.

Permettre d’organiser me débat public autrement que sur une option binaire, c’est quelque chose d’absolument décisif.

We need to be able to laugh at ourselves.

The river is going with or without us.

So, I had the so-called disadvantage of very little access to equipment and very few mentors that could tell me what could be done in a kayak, but then I also had the distinct advantage of having nobody who could tell me what couldn't be done.

Estar vulnerável é estar disponível, é estar disponível para acontecer alguma coisa nova, para mudar de ideia, para criar a próxima coisa ou o próximo passo.

I think that everything in life is all about experience. You have to go out there and live it.

I advocate for life in Oakland that is safe for artists to act.

The mission of our farm is: we're growing organically with love and passion. The vision of our farm is that we want to be a model for organic farms all over the world.

The driving force behind all of this is a desire to really do good, and to make a positive change in our community, and to feed our community.

Sometimes the answers are right there in front of you, but you have to be willing to be present.

Don't talk about it, be about it.

You gotta want to be different, you gotta want to be better, you gotta want to make your dreams real.
