Stop learning too much: Start Acting

This advice goes to all Readers out there:

STOP LEARNING SO MUCH!

Too many people nowadays spend their time learning and learning and learning, reading book after book, going to seminars, watching tutorials, videos and talking to their friends about theories, ideas and concepts.

But none of them actually do anything about it and then the ideas never see the light of day!

As Les Brown said:

“The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry our their dream.”

Chances are that you already know what to do.

If you watch, read or interact with any form of Success, even through TV, you know some good things to do, even if you just passively picked them up.

No one has to tell you to make a plan, to follow a schedule, to wake up early, drink a lot of water, train your skills, or do the hard work. You already know that all of these are good things to do!

But are you applying any of them?

Are you working towards your success or to make your life better?

Are you living out your ideas? Are you taking steps to make your dreams become a reality? Or are you just wasting time trying to find the next best thing to learn to avoid the work?

Stop wasting your time with things you do not need!

That’s not to say stop learning entirely, but stop using it as an excuse not to act.

Your learning should never replace or trump the amount of work you put in, because your life will not progress through knowing more; it will only progress through action.

You already know enough. Enough to get started… The rest comes with time.

Pick a couple things you will try and then test them out now!

You are young enough to make mistakes and smart enough to move past them, which doesn’t mean you will make them.

But if you sit on the couch all day learning you will never progress.

Don’t get busy learning. Get busy acting and living!

How reading can help you succeed in life.

He makes time for it. Buffet once gave students in an investing class at Columbia University the following advice: "Read 500 pages like this every day," Buffett said to the students, while reaching toward a stack of manuals and papers. "That's how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it." Well, we can all build up that knowledge. But are we really doing it? Warren Buffett says, “I just sit in my office and read all day.” What does that mean? He estimates that he spends 80% of his working day reading and thinking. This leads to what is known as the Buffet Formula: “Going to bed smarter than you woke up.” Why is that so important? We’ve been recording knowledge in books for a long time. That means there’s not a lot that’s new; it’s just recycled old knowledge. Odds are that no matter what you’re working on, someone somewhere, who is smarter than you, has

How can you improve your life?

The 18 unconventional ways to elevate your consciousness, expand your influence and ultimately improve your life. Have sex. There's something unflinchingly "human” about a sexual experience. It builds something within you that connects deeply to nature. A confidence is built. From a person who went stretches- sometimes over a year- without having sex due to deeply rooted sexual anxieties (fear of climaxing too quick, that I wasn't “good enough” in bed, distaste of one-night-encounters etc) rediscovering the feeling you get in your life while being sexually active has really made a positive impact. Introduce yourself to anyone and everyone. Human beings are social creatures by nature. With that in mind, it is imperative to make your presence known in any room you're in. Don't you hate that feeling when you're at a party or gathering, you go there with a friend and the friend doesn't introduce you to anyone? It sucks. Extreme responsibility is needed on y
