Getting into Action

Here is something to meditate on. No videos or pictures this time, just words. For me getting into action is one of the most difficult things to do. I have lots of great ideas and passions, but when it comes to acting I often find myself paralyzed. Remembering this quote often centers me when I am struggling. Here goes:
Questioner: How can we put into practice what you are telling us?
 
Krishnamurti: You hear something which you think is right and you want to carry it out in your everyday life; so there is a gap between what you think and what you do, is there not? You think one thing, and you are doing something else. But you want to put into practice what you think, so there is this gap between action and thought; and you ask how to bridge this gap, how to link your thinking into action.
 
Now, when you want to do something very much, you do it, don’t you? When you want to go and play cricket, or do some other thing in which you are interested, you find ways and means of doing it; you never ask how to put it into practice. You do it because you are eager, because your whole being, your whole heart and mind are in it.
Think on These Things   Krishnamurti
