@ andrew:

I've had this same problem too. I'm always learning or trying to learn, but when it comes to actually doing, there is one thing you need to do.

Have you discovered your purpose? Know what your goals are? The milestones to get to fulfilling your destiny?

If you know what these are, then you can translate what you know into how you want to get these done. But knowledge is not nearly enough - motivation is an essential ingredient. Ask yourself - are you motivated? Maybe you need to focus there too.

The college where I did my engineering degree had a slogan that went "knowlede is power". I have never, ever agreed with that statement, because it is incomplete. Knowledge is only potential power. And if you don't know where to apply it and how, then it's not power at all.
