This quote, attributed to Goethe, is the ultimate wake-up call for the "passive intellectual." We live in an era of information overload; we read the books, listen to the podcasts, and save the posts. We know what to do to be healthier, wealthier, or happier.But knowledge without execution is just potential energy. It sits there, useless, until it is converted into motion. The gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't a lack of information; it's a lack of application.Don't let your wisdom go to waste. Turn your "knowing" into "doing" today.What is one thing you know you should do, that you are finally going to do today?timelessquotes.blog
