When I was sixteen I almost died and as soon as I woke up
from that coma, I knew if I was to achieve anything before I die action must be taken.
I’m always telling my wife nothing changes unless you take
action. That's why I make action my number 1 life principle.
A lifetime of pain has forced me to spend months in bed but
when I am fit I act, whether through performing, writing or social advocacy. My
life is proof you only achieve when you take action.
The issues raised on Humanity Platform are big and some
might think they are impossible but history is
full of amazing things because people took action.
My family taught me just because my disability means I can’t
do something the conventional way, it doesn’t mean I can’t do it. All I have to do is
take the action I can and see what happens.
There are many things in this world that need action like
ending world conflict, saving our environment, equality for all and an end to global
poverty but the good news is if we take action every day the world will change.
That’s the big picture stuff but the formula for all of us
to accomplish our goals ... all it takes is a dream plus action.
Now I might not get everything I want but at least people
will be able to say “He took action man!”
