Smart people don’t struggle because they lack knowledge. They struggle because they overanalyze.
Every flaw gets dissected. Every hesitation comes with a well-reasoned argument. Instead of making excuses, they build entire frameworks explaining why something isn’t possible right now. Intelligence doesn’t stop self-sabotage—it makes it more sophisticated.
Meanwhile, the ones making real progress aren’t caught in this loop. They don’t have the perfect plan. They don’t know all the risks. They move first, adjust later, and somehow, they get further.
Not because they’re smarter. Not because they have more resources. Simply because they act before their brain talks them out of it.
Knowledge is only useful if it leads to action. Thinking about running doesn’t build endurance. Researching nutrition doesn’t change eating habits. Studying discipline won’t make anyone disciplined. The gap between knowing and doing swallows potential whole.
Action wins. Not perfect action. Not well-researched action. Just action. Overthinking is a luxury no one can afford if they actually want to get somewhere.
