Hi, everybody. It is Eric from the one you feed back with another mini episode. This week's mini episode will be called Knowledge Versus Action. So I was thinking, you know, I'm always scheduling interviews and preparing for interviews, and I was thinking the other day about how the same we we seem to cover the same ground a lot in interviews, and I sometimes think I need to break some new ground, or I gotta get get somebody on who will say
something completely different. And then what I realize is that the reason we cover the same ground is that a the steps to living a better life there aren't there aren't that many of them. There's not that many different things, and that there's a huge gap between us knowing something and us actually doing it or being able to do it.
So I think there's value in hearing these things. Certainly for me, I know there's value and hearing these things over and over and over again, because they don't tend to stick the first time for me. One of our earlier guests, Kevin Griffin, said, it's not that we don't know, but the problem isn't what people believe, but how we actually live. Many people have good values and beliefs that they aren't able to live by. Certainly for myself, I
think that is true. I talked on the show about going on autopilot a lot, and it's really easy each for time to just slip by. And it's a matter of being aware of some of these very fundamental concepts, but being able to put them into action on a consistent basis. And so that's really the value of doing the show for me, and listening to other type shows and reading is to keep those things front of mind
and allow me to translate that knowledge into action. Uh. The German poet Gerta said thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world. Makes me think about one of our guests, Todd Henry, who when I asked him, what was one tip he would give people that they would take away, It's that he basically said he would spend an equal amount of time processing what he reads
that he does reading it. So I think for most of us is it's almost at least for me if I'm not conscious of it, it's is consuming, consuming, consuming, and maybe five percent is thinking about it really putting it into action in my life and understanding it. It's easy to fall into the delusion that there is some thing out there that we just haven't heard yet, that when we hear it, it will make all the difference and it will make these massive breakthroughs in our lives.
And the truth is almost always that it is the consistent application of things that we already know over and over that leads to the real transformation and breakthroughs. So I think it's a matter of just spending more time internalizing what we read, hearing the same messages over and over again with a real biased action. Hopefully that's helpful to you. We will have another interview out on Tuesday, and thanks as always for listening and we'll talk again soon. Bite
