Break the Glass
May 9th, 2008 by Kevin

One of the core concepts we try to convey in our seminars is the concept of ‘action’. Action is the life raft that will take you from your current reality and move you towards your dreams. All to often would be investors see their dreams but never leave the island of reality. Action is also one of those things that needs to be thought through and often cannot be rolled back… Take this great example I came across today… Its called the ‘Birth Clock‘
The “Birth Clock” is a fragile glass object containing a digital clock that is not working; it is designed to help you to come to a decision when you’re stuck at a specific point in life. Smash the glass, and the clock will start to work, leaving you with the broken object as a reminder of your dramatic decision. Leave the object as it is, and you remain out of time, having the beautiful object as a reminder of your resistance to change. What would you do?
Any analogies for you? When I read this, I definitely still have some! Ready to smash the glass?
