Microsoft Wants to Know: Are You A Doer?

Are you one of those people that takes life by the horns, a master of your own destiny? Or do you sit by idly on the sidelines, being moved by life’s currents and the actions of others? In short, are you a doer?

That’s the question Microsoft is asking as they introduce their new line of smart phones, the Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL. It’s a good question, something I’ve been asking myself a lot lately. So while the following video shows off some impressive functionality for a smart phone I’m already excited about, it also carries an important reminder: make the most of your life.

Sometimes inspiration comes from the strangest places…

Something as “simple” as a smart phone can empower people to do great things, but that drive has to come from within. Phones are one example of a tool that can be leveraged to great affect, but without someone applying the necessary force, that tool is useless on its own. It must be you that drives it.

So while there’s a time to browse Reddit, don’t forget about all the other great stuff you could be doing with your life. Remember that business you’ve been meaning to start? What about that half finished book, the one you’ve made such great progress on? It’s time to suck it up and be a doer.

So for all of you working hard to achieve your dreams, I commend you. Believe me, I get it… it’s tough. I promise you one thing, though: it’s absolutely worth the effort. If you’re still just dreaming and not working to turn your dreams into reality, then it’s time to pause and reflect, then act.

Trust me, it’s not the fancy tools and gadgets that are holding you back…
