  Podcasthero.com. Welcome to The Daily Quote, the
• 0:05
  podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.

  I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and let's dive into today's
• 0:12
  quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the German writer and
• 0:17
  philosopher who's considered one of the greatest literary figures
• 0:20
  in Western history. He once said, knowing is not
• 0:25
  enough. We must apply.
• 0:28
  Willing is not enough. We must do 2 statements.
• 0:33
  Same structure, same truth. Knowing is not enough.
• 0:38
  Willing is not enough. Both require something more.
• 0:43
  Let's break this down. You can know everything about
• 0:47
  fitness, nutrition, exercise, science, proper form, but if you
• 0:52
  don't apply that knowledge, if you don't actually go to the
• 0:56
  gym, you won't get faked. Knowing doesn't count.
• 1:02
  You can be willing to start a business, you can want it
• 1:05
  desperately. You can tell everyone about your
• 1:08
  intentions. But if you don't do it, if you
• 1:11
  don't register the company, create the product, make that
• 1:14
  sale, Willing doesn't count either.
• 1:18
  Goats drawing the line between two stages of achievement, the
• 1:22
  internal stage and the external stage.
• 1:26
  Knowing and willing. Those are internal.
• 1:29
  They happen in your head. They're important, they're
• 1:32
  necessary but not sufficient. Applying and doing, those are
• 1:39
  external, they happen in the world.
• 1:42
  They create results there where knowledge and willingness
• 1:46
  transforms into actual outcomes, and most people get stuck in the
• 1:51
  first stage. They accumulate knowledge but
• 1:54
  never apply it. They develop willingness, but
• 1:57
  never take action and then wonder why nothing changes.
• 2:01
  Goat's answer is simple. Because knowing isn't enough.
• 2:05
  Because willing isn't enough. You have to cross the gap.
• 2:10
  You have to apply. You have to do so.
• 2:13
  Here's the question. What do you know that you're not
• 2:16
  applying? What are you willing to do but
• 2:19
  haven't actually done? Because ghosts are right.
• 2:24
  Knowing isn't enough. Willing isn't enough.
• 2:29
  You have to apply. You have to do.
• 2:33
  That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off
• 2:35
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
