Knowing is not the same as Doing

I believe that for the most part, people know what they need to do to succeed in life. If you are a student, you know what to do to get good grades. If you are in a relationship, you know what to do to make your partner happy. If you are a parent, you know what to do to make your children happy. If you work for a company, you know what to do to impress your employer. If you work for yourself, you know what to do to make your business succeed.

Now that I think about it, we all know what it takes to succeed and to get exactly what we want out of life. The thing is.... knowing is not the same as doing.

For example, if you are a student, you know that if you dedicate more time to studying, sit at the front of the class, get enough sleep each night so that you are alert during class.... you will get good grades. The thing is - knowing these things and doing these things are two completely different things. We know what we want, we know what to do to get what we want, but we choose not to do it????

WHAT KIND OF SENSE IS THIS?

... to be continued. I need to think about this......
