Too much knowing. Too little doing.

Too much knowing and too little doing fills you with a false sense of confidence. Not the kind of confidence that pushes you into action, either. It’s the kind that prefers to claim knowledge without having to prove it in action.

Acquiring knowledge is not an accomplishment. Knowledge is how you partially understand what’s required to accomplish something. Most of the understanding you need can only come from doing it, not just knowing it.

Consuming information exposes you to proven strategies and skills you need. Activating those strategies and developing those skills into productive assets requires action. It doesn’t come down to what you know. It comes down to what you can do. Discipline turns knowledge into action.

It’s not good enough for you to know but not do. You know that. Your life deserves better. Knowing but not doing is an empty promise. Your future deserves better.

You know all this. If you didn’t, now you do. Make sure the quality of your action shows it.

Brick by brick. Do the work.
