The problem doesn’t come from acting on your beliefs, it comes from not changing them in response to finding out that they make you miserable.
If you remain inefficient intentionally, you don’t get things that you want. If you swiftly act maximally in accordance with your beliefs, you can find out more quickly what living by them is like. If you don’t like it, then you should just change your mind. If you don’t act, you never find out.
Hold strong opinions lightly.
