Knowing vs. Doing

Knowing and doing are two completely different concepts. Everybody knows what they need to do to improve their life, to be in better shape, to have more money, or to improve their relationship. Everybody knows that eating healthy and exercising will lead to a good health. However, only a few people choose to do the right thing. So, what’s the big difference between people who know and people who do?
