today I want to talk about balancing theory versus practice A lot of us get stuck in the planning and theorizing phase because we re afraid of failure doubt our abilities or are too comfortable We might also enjoy learning and planning so much that we never take action Perfectionism worrying about other people and bad experiences can also hold us back And sometimes we think it s too late to act on our plans But if we don t take action we ll never reach our full potential In this episode you will learn the following 1 What are the things that prevent us from taking action and moving from

includes some level of discomfort Maybe you want to get in better shape but there s going to be some physical discomfort 00 04 21 – Some people enjoy planning learning theorizing and researching a lot They might not enjoy putting the plan into action It s fun to research and to look into but you have to get moving Fun can be an absolute derailment from where you want to go and achieve in your plan 00 06 53 – Some people get caught up in the myth of perfectionism and worry about other people s opinion Mr Beast is one of the biggest YouTubers in the world but his first videos were messy and bad He was afraid to start a podcast because he was afraid of their opinion Worrying about other people interferes with getting to the action phase and locks you into the theorizing planning phase Worrying is never going to benefit you and it s not going to make your life better so you need to work on getting out of that 00 12 33 – Most of us have had bad experiences in the past and we let them define our current life If you have big dreams and plans in your past and then failed you might be a little gun shy to try it again You have to stop letting bad experiences define you and hold you in

the purpose that you were intended for In the first half of the show we talked about the things that prevent us from moving out of the theory stage and into the practice state and planning into actual action In this half we re going to get into the benefits and rewards of taking action and pursuing those plans 00 20 53 – Satisfaction is better than happiness When we act on our goals we accomplish more leading to more feelings of satisfaction and more pride in ourselves Planning and theorizing is important but we need to put the plans into practice to achieve our goals 00 22 40 – Many people struggle to find motivation to follow their dreams Taking action is what leads to motivation not vice versa When we put our plans into action we get to learn a lot and gain a lot of life experience I talk about the difference between education and practical knowledge all the time 00 26 38 – After accomplishing something the first thing people think about is what s next When they accomplish something they want to accomplish more goals They want to learn new skills and improve their current ones They also want to inspire their friends and colleagues to do the same By acting on your plans
