Stop to Think and Act Immediately
From childhood, we’ve learned a lot about many things. A wide assortment of knowledge we have absorbed it well. But now, if you ever feel that your life does not have change? Many books have you read. Dozens of seminars have you attended, but if you are already benefiting from it? If not, something is wrong in your life.
“The possibilities are numerous once We Decide to act and not React.” (George Bernard Shaw)
According to him, when we stop to think and act immediately, we will open ourselves to opportunities are numerous, even exceeding our expectations. But the problem we often face is sometimes we have no sufficient reason why we must take action. We often put off until a strong conviction to take action.

When we delay, we actually just lazy. The delay will result in us will be increasingly reluctant to take action. Analysis and doubts will also multiply in our minds.
To overcome this, the following are tips you can try.
1. Only you can perform actions, not others
You are the controller in your own life. You are responsible for your own life, not someone else. You have the power to control and even improve your quality of life.
If you have a business plan, career, or plans to change the life, then you must realize that no one else will take the first action, except your own. You can get help from family, friends, books or other literature.
But action must be taken by your own. Your life is your responsibility. Make your choices and decisions that bring goodness for yourself.
2. Apply the knowledge you have
Maybe you’ve read many books and blogs. You may feel your knowledge of current increases. Nothing wrong with that. As more and more knowledge, the more intelligent you are in the sound.
More than that I believe that the gathering of knowledge can not replace action. You can read dozens of books, but if you do not practice what you learned, all the knowledge you have can be in vain.
Attend training or seminars to help you to gain inspiration. Perhaps you become eager to take action. This spirit you want to follow up by taking action where you actually apply the knowledge you have.
3. Become more proficient with action
There is a saying “you learn by doing”, which means your knowledge to move up as you apply them in real action. If you are a thirst for knowledge, you will be encouraged to experiment with the knowledge that you have to apply it in everyday life.
By applying your knowledge to be getting smarter by understanding what things are suitable for you and which ones do not.
By doing you may become aware that the methods that you read in the book proved to be more complicated when it is practiced. This spurred you to improve the method in a manner consistent with the environmental conditions around you.
Experience is the best teacher. Through experience, you discover new things and prove to yourself what has been said by the teacher, mentor, coach etc.
