The biggest gap...

I feel that I have a lot of knowledge on a lot of subjects. If we were to talk about stuff, you might think that I'm informed. If you pay attention though, you might notice that a lot of what I do is book-knowledge.

Here's something I say often: "the biggest gap in the world is between people who know and people who DO". Because, doing is the key, knowing is having an idea how the key might look. It's good, but won't open that many doors.

Derek Sivers says: "IF (more) INFORMATION WAS THE ANSWER, THEN WE’D ALL BE BILLIONAIRES WITH PERFECT ABS". Bingo!

Let me give you one example. I have this friend who's into meditation. I, too, am interested in meditation. I know a lot about meditation because I read and listened to a lot of meditation-related stuff. He knows he wants to meditate so he does. That was one year ago.
Meanwhile, I managed to log in maybe 5 hours of meditation while he: went to 2 10days meditation retreat, meditate at least 20 minutes daily ( aka actually has a daily practice ) and incorporate meditation-like states in his day to day to life to lower stress and increase his awareness. I know all this because I've met with him recently and I was impressed by the actual, noticeable change in his behavior. I asks what happened and he says it's a lot about meditation and how it changes his views and demeanor. Then he asks me: " Why are you stuck? ".

A good question.
