I've realized that the biggest obstacle in my life isn't about knowing what to do but mustering the will to do it. Nearly everyone knows a thing or two that they can do to improve their life or to maximize the chance of reaching their goals. But they don't do it. Not even after reading countless self-help books that always promises to solve this exact problem!
