This is a call for action. Lately, I've been consuming endlessly, immensely, and terribly. I've been devouring books and information so much that I spare no time for action. My mind was telling me I don't know enough, I don't have the right information. Now the paradox here is that the more you consume, the less knowledgeable you feel. You realise there is so much that you are clueless about. This create a vicious circle of unlimited consumption. The internet contains an infinite amount of information, so there is actually no end to the amount of information you can acquire. However, there is a limit to how much you can take and retain.
I feel like I've reached a point where I was simply wandering, not focusing. It's like I was eating, but never feeling satiated. I mean it's an awesome thing to be a continuous and avid learner and reader, until it takes away all attention from doing. Also, by continuously consuming information one after the other, I have no time to really digest, before taking in more information. As a result, I haven't learn much, because previous information get drowned. So I need to calm down, pause and take more action. Act upon the books I read, instead of speed read, enjoy the journey, the words and don't rush to finish a book. Understand, appreciate, fully grasp the meaning. This is a call to slow down and to not simply be a reader, but an action-taker.
Action is important because it shows willingness and gives faith to what you're trying to achieve. It gives weight and power to your dream.
