They procrastinate and don't take action towards their goals. They fear failure. The biggest failure they're doing is not taking action. Henry Ford is a great example of how to take action. He was unsure of how to do it but his faith and learning from his actions got him there.
He would have never learned how to accomplish hid goal if he didn't take action. He learned how to do things after he took action. He learned that it didn't work and found a better way to do something because of it. He would have never found a way if he didn't have faith that he would find the answer and take action.
Another great example of faith and how powerful it is. The people who signed the declaration of independence put their lives on the line, everyone of them. They had faith that this was going to work. They made a decision to take action, and let their faith guide them into this action. They knew it was a decision towards their freedom and would change their lives. They took action towards something greater, and did something no one thought of doing. Thanks to these people we have freedom of speech.
People will not make the right decisions and think that the way they live is the way it is. They've been letting outside situations in force their decisions that they forgot how to make decisions. that's why if you tell someone something about a desire you have, they'll put you down. Even your family will do this, but they're unaware of the fact that they're doing this. It's just they've been living this way for so long they think it's reality. They think that because they're not living this, that it can't be possible. If the greats would have listened to peoples thoughts, and not make their own, we would never have people shaping and changing are history. We need more people you think outside the box of the normal.
