We’ve all heard the old saying, “Knowledge is Power.”
 
Contrary to popular belief, knowledge is not power—it’s only potential power. Knowledge is not mastery. Action is mastery. Action will win over knowledge every time.
 
Too many good hearted people will have sincere intentions of doing something great with their lives, after they figure out how to do it. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way.
 
To move ahead in life quickly, we need to come to a decision and get into action. Without action, regardless of how much knowledge we acquire, you will have no progress.
 
Most successful people gain the majority of their knowledge along the way. This approach will expedite the process of success more quickly. It’s not as crazy as it seems. The approach is quite simple.
 
Decide what you want.
Decide on what are your first three steps in acquiring what you want.
Determine if you need more knowledge to take those three steps.
Get as much knowledge about those three steps (quickly) and then complete them.
Repeat this process to succeed at anything quickly.
 
Taking action toward your desired outcome is the key to mastery in any area of life.
 
In Loving Service,
Dr. Michael J. Duckett
