It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.

Awareness feels like progress and costs almost nothing. You can see a problem clearly, discuss it well, understand exactly why it matters, and be no further along than the day you first noticed, because insight and movement run on separate machinery. The gap between them is where most good intentions quietly live out their lives.

Take something you have understood for months and reduce it to one act small enough to do today. Not a plan, an act. Whatever is left undone after that is a problem of doing rather than of understanding, which is at least the better problem to have.
