Make tough changes. Feel good later!
The point is that the Positively Powerful right thing to do is stay in action about what matters to you. Feelings are great but don’t let them get in the way of your vision. If you feel “bad” focus out on somebody else, contribute to them then spend time developing your business network of support. Then reach out and make something happen, be it a cold call, a hot call, a new pitch. “It’s not easy but it is possible” is a good mantra to have.
Seth Godin advices “Repeating easy tasks again and again gets you not very far. Attacking only steep cliffs where no progress is made isn’t particularly effective either. No, the best path is an endless series of difficult (but achievable) hills.”
Our ability to take 
action is meaningful tough work a lot of the time. And not just any kind of action. If as a business person you spend all of your time working on volunteer projects, yes, that’s movement and contribution. However, are these activities easy and will they lead to the business profile that you want? Unless that’s your job, it’s certain that volunteering no matter how good you may feel afterward won’t pay the mortgage. And that reality feels awful. It will take action that may be uncomfortable and out of the box for you. Take the high hills as Seth says. Regardless of what your personality style is, it doesn’t matter. “If it’s to be, it’s up to thee.”
Now I’m off to put on my mountain climbing boots. I have some ground to cover and big hills to climb. Said in another way, “if it’s to be it’s up to me.”
