If A Tree Doesn't Fall...

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
If a pebble is tossed into a pond and no one sees it does it still make a ripple?

The scientific answer is of course, "Yes". But if no-one observes it, it can't be verified. I can be 100% certain though, if the tree does not fall down, there will be no sound. Similarly, if the pebble is not tossed into the pond, there will definitely be no ripple.  You have to make the effort to create the result you want. Sure, sometimes a chance random ripple will come along that may or may not be what you are looking for but if you toss the pebble, the created ripple will be positioned and directed by your aim. You decide how big a splash to make, you decide how near or far to start the ripple and your positioning gets to decide what receives the greatest impact of the ripple. This seems far for effectual than waiting for the random ripple to occur. 

Decide what it is you should be, must be doing and seize the moment. Toss that pebble into the pond to get the ripple going. Stalling and procrastinating is only delaying your dream.
