Knowledge is power? No. Knowledge on its own is nothing, but the application of useful knowledge, now that is powerful.

Wisdom comes from making mistakes, having the courage to face them, and make adjustments moving forward based upon the knowledge acquired through those experiences.

As a weight loss coach and emotional eating expert, my typical client has the equivalent of a Master’s degree in the areas of nutrition, weight loss, and emotional eating. Some have a small library of books on the subject. Unfortunately, all this information hasn’t really helped them. In fact, it’s made them more confused than ever. Some are so overwhelmed by conflicting advice that they have no idea anymore what they should do or
eat.
Knowledge isn’t power. Too much information leads to analysis paralysis. Collecting information can also become a compulsion just like emotional eating is. There is always the temptation to think that the next book, course, or program is going to be the one that will fix the problem once and for all. Many people will eagerly read this information but never actually apply it in their lives so nothing ever changes. Or they might try
it for a few weeks or month and then quit and go on to the next book or program and repeat the cycle once again, never really getting anywhere.
Real change comes from taking knowledge and applying it consistently in your life until you get the desired result. The key to success can be found in your daily actions. The big question to ask yourself is:
“What am I willing to do each day towards my desired goal?” "Is the program or plan that I'm on sustainable for life?"
