Part1 – The Invisible Enemy of Success
Table of Contents
“This article is Part 1 of our Acresia series, where we uncover how to break free from the invisible disease holding millions back.”
The disease that has created the most number of useless people in the world is called Acresia.”
Have you ever felt like you know exactly what you need to do, but somehow… you just don’t do it? You say, “I should start exercising,” or “I should work on that idea,” but the action never follows. That’s not just procrastination—it’s something deeper. Something that silently kills potential, ambition, and dreams.
That something is Acresia.
What Is Acresia?
Acresia is a psychological state where a person lacks control over themselves. It’s when you know what needs to be done, but you simply don’t do it. The word is rooted in Greek philosophy, but here, it’s used as a metaphor for a modern epidemic: people being stuck in “should do” mode instead of “do it” mode.
In simple terms:
Acresia = Knowing but not doing
It’s the reason so many people are stuck in average lives, despite knowing they could achieve more.
Why You Must Understand Acresia
According to the message in this powerful speech, 95% of people live their entire lives without ever working on themselves. They earn from below the neck—through manual labor, routine tasks, and endless to-dos. Eventually, their energy fades and life ends with regret.
Only 5% of people truly work on themselves. They grow mentally, emotionally, financially, and spiritually. They polish their personality like gold being refined through 16 flames. These are the people who rise above the noise and build extraordinary lives.
So the big question is:
Are you part of the 95% who live life by default?
Or the 5% who live by design?
The Root Cause: The ‘Should Do’ Mentality
The biggest symptom of Acresia is the use of the phrase:
“I should…”
- “I should read more.”
- “I should wake up early.”
- “I should exercise.”
- “I should build that dream project.”
Sound familiar?
These thoughts feel productive, but they’re a trap. Every time you say “should”, you trick your brain into thinking action has been taken. In reality, nothing happens—and Acresia grows stronger.
The Truth Bomb
“Every time you say ‘should do’, you are feeding the virus of Acresia.”
This speech makes a powerful point: no other disease has affected more lives than this silent killer. Unlike physical diseases, Acresia has no medicine. It can’t be cured with pills or therapy. It can only be defeated with one thing: decisive action.

From ‘Should Do’ to ‘Do It’
The only way to break free from Acresia is to delete “should do” from your vocabulary. Replace it with “Do it.”
- Don’t say “I should exercise.”
Say “I exercise every morning.” - Don’t say “I should work on my goals.”
Say “I’m starting now.”
It’s not just semantics. It’s a mindset shift that separates dreamers from doers, average from extraordinary, and the 95% from the 5%.
Challenge For You: Reflect and Identify
Take a moment and list:
- Three things you always say “I should do…”
- Rewrite each one as “I do…”
Then start living it.
Final Words
Acresia is not just a word. It’s a warning.
You can’t afford to stay in “should” mode. Every day you wait is a day lost to this invisible disease. Don’t just dream of being better—start working on yourself now. It’s time to stop talking and start doing.
Because only 5% of people work on themselves. The rest are carried away one day, having never even started.
Are you ready to break free?
