Taking massive action is not sustainable. Folks, the hare and the tortoise. Regardless of your goal, if you approach it excessively hard or too quickly too soon, the result won't be success but rather burnout. Contemplate it. Do you try to run 26 miles to begin with if you're not fit enough to do a marathon? Or do you set a baseline by going for a run and then devise a plan to gradually build up your stamina until you are able to complete the distance? Going to the gym and trying to bench press double the body weight on your first visit is not what you do. You begin modestly, determine your present limit.

Taking drastic measures is unsustainable. The tortoise and the hare, folks. Whatever your objective, you won't achieve it if you tackle it too hard or too quickly; instead, you'll burn out. Think about it. If you're not fit enough to complete a marathon, do you attempt to run 26 miles initially? Alternatively, do you run to establish a baseline and then make a strategy to progressively increase your endurance until you can finish the distance? You don't go to the gym and try to bench press twice your body weight on your first visit. You start small, figure out what your current limit is, and

Massive damage can result from massive activity. When you're starting off, often you're not even entirely aware of what you need to accomplish to reach your goals. It only requires trying, observing the results, assessing, fine-tuning, and trying again. The scientific method is based on this hypothesis, experiment, evaluation, and adjustment procedure, which is scarcely novel. Is the initial try truly the right place to take drastic measures? Naturally, no.

The 'Massive Action' mentality is detrimental. Please understand that the advise to "take massive action" is well-intentioned. It views everyone as completely capable of accomplishing anything they set out to do and seeks to encourage them to get started in order to build up enough momentum to continue. The issue is that momentum is gained during a run-up rather than from a standing start. And ineffective, aimless action does not yield the desired effects. Therefore, when a novice approaches something with nothing but unadulterated excitement to keep them going, it is inevitable that they will eventually fall into confusion and exhaustion. The disciple who heeds this instruction is left wondering what went wrong and why, rather than succeeding.
