Some people are satisfied just by saying “Ohh I am going to do this or that to make this happen..” and then do nothing. Of course the result is that nothing will happen. Some people just spend time thinking about it, they spend time and it will not happen.
To realize something, to make it happen it is better not to put any thought between your action and your determination or preparation to make it happen.
