Part 3 - How to take action and 'make it so'

The three pillars of self

There are three essential drivers that will make the law of attraction work in your life. Your mental drivers which includes thoughts, imagination and visualisation. Your emotional drivers which includes feelings and passion. Your physical drivers which include actions and activity. Much has been written about thoughts and emotions but less about action and activity.
You might like to think of the mental driver as being the first where the thought or idea is seeded, the emotional driver comes next as mental enthusiasm builds passion and excitement and finally you begin to take effortless action as the passion you feel drives your activity.

Action blockers, and how to overcome them

• Lack of vision and passion – If you have not clearly visualised what it is that you want in life you are unlikely to feel passionate or excited about it and you won't feel any desire to put together an action plan. You can overcome this by spending some time clearly visualising a compelling future.
• Not knowing what to do stems from the lack of a clear vision. You will need to know what you want in life so that your direction is clear. Having a goal to be a millionaire is not sufficiently clear to provide you with any direction. What is it that you want to spend your life doing that will create your millionaire status?
• Not knowing where to start. So you have a clear vision but knowing where to start is holding you back, perhaps because the challenge seems to big. Start small and start somewhere. It doesn't matter where you start, because when you do, things will become clearer and a plan will start to fall into place. It's funny how the mist seems to clear and you see a path a ahead when you take your first small steps.
• Expecting the universe to deliver your dream life while sitting on your back side and doing nothing. The law of attraction is energetic, it requires participation and activity. Once you start to take action you will find other opportunities and ideas falling into place. You are in active cooperation with the universe, you are not a passive receiver. Once you start to take action, you will begin a vortex like process, where doors open for you leading to more actions and more opportunities.
• Fear is the same as lack of faith. You must put your heart and soul into believing in yourself. It is this faith that will create a strong will to succeed and a 'go get it' attitude. Fear of failure is just a lack of faith, so have faith that your positivity will attract to you everything you need to succeed.
• Conflicting ideas or beliefs. So you want a Ferrari, but you strongly believe in a low carbon / low consumption economy. You need to resolve both desires in your own mind so that they no longer conflict. Perhaps as you increase your wealth you will no longer need to drive daily to a job 30 miles away. You buy your Ferrari but you only drive it recreationally a couple of times a month, thus you are polluting a lot less than you would be doing had you not achieved your goals. You just need to resolve the conflict in your own mind and feel comfortable with it. It does not need to be compatible with everyone else’s values. There will always be detractors to your way of life, no matter how clean your lifestyle.
• Too much focus on material goals without adding value back to the universe. Material 'stuff' is all very well, but your purpose in life is not to collect trinkets. Your purpose is to be free, happy and create a better world. In doing so you might well create some material possessions but they should not be your ultimate goal. Focus instead on how you intend to add value to the universe and the material stuff will come.

Be a finisher as well as a starter

Once you start a project you are going to want to own it as if it is your own offspring. This means nurturing, feeding and building on it. Continually providing it with all of the attention and sustenance it needs to grow. Many people start projects but don't finish them. Don't be one of those people. If a project has not had much attention in a while, revisit it and rebuild your enthusiasm around it. Set out a plan where you will provide at least a couple of hours a week to reviewing and building on your project. As it grows in importance you can dedicate more time to it. Clearly visualise the finished product and keep building on it bit by bit. Eventually you will see the finishing line in sight.
Currently I have 6 significant projects on the go at the same time. It's challenging but I make sure that I visit each one at least once a week, while spending the majority of my time focusing on getting a primary project complete.

Take responsibility

It is only you who can manifest your own reality. If you don't take an active responsibility to make it happen you can guarantee that you will be living somebody else's reality. Being passive results in being a passenger on someone else's train, perhaps as an employee, a consumer of unhealthy products or media, an indebted servant. It's time to step off the train at the next station and start creating your own reality. So take responsibility for your own future and create something that you have always dreamed about by taking action today.
