Learning is not actually Learning
Learning is never actually learning.
Because think about it. When you’re learning you’re sitting in front of your laptop and watching a video or sitting in a chair and reading a book. And that is not gonna benefit you in any way.
The only way you would be benefitted is when you go and apply the things you learn.
So, Do this thing whenever you’re reading or watching a video.
You learn about a really great tactic that you can use on your friends to make them like you more. Go to one of your friend's houses and apply that tactic on him. Don’t read the book further without actually applying what you read right now.
If you apply this mindset shift in every content you consume, two things will happen:
1) Your content consumption is gonna reduce significantly
Why do you think we binge-watch a self-improvement video or binge-read a book? Because It feels nice to know the fact that if we do this we are gonna improve our life.
But if you have this mindset of an action taker. It will actually take you long to read a book or watch self-improvement videos because most of your time will go into applying what you learned.
2) Your growth will skyrocket
Think about it. What if you had taken action on all the countless YouTube videos you watched or all the countless books you read, you would have become a legend.
You had already been successful if you had taken action on all the self-improvement content you have consumed till now.
So, Start right now. Because, the best time to start was 5 years ago, and the second-best time to start is right now.
