A Time For Action

There is so much great info out there, that it can be almost overwhelming.  Consuming information can also be a convenient crutch for not doing the things we want to do with our life.  We fall back on the excuse that we want to learn more before going forward with something, failing to realize that experience is always the best teacher.

Information is good; learning about the world we live in and the things within is a fantastic thing, and very enjoyable.  But there comes a point where we need to step out of our comfort zone and actually make some changes.

Some things may require a thorough knowledge in order to begin in a process, and other things we already know all we need to know.  Many people will read book after book on relationships when they are in an abusive relationship, even though they already know what the answer is.  But absorbing information buys us time from facing the unknown, so we continue to do it.  We falsely believe that if we learn enough, it will make it less of a challenge, or that the job will somehow become easier.  Rarely is that the case, as experience is much different than knowledge.

Information is also continually sought out to gives our fear validation.  We know in our heart we should do something, but we are scared to do it, and so we seek out information that gives us a loophole for not facing our fears.  We find information which makes us feel less conflicted about not pursuing our true calling.  Again, information becomes our crutch.

Thought and intention must include action, or nothing will ever be attained;  Our life will simply be a byproduct of other people’s choices and not our own.

Take one step today towards the life you want.  Instead of searching for more and more information on a topic you already know about, make a concrete action towards creating the life you want.  Do it today.  You deserve a life that is all you can dream.  Start towards that dream by taking one small step today.
