If you're familiar with my work, you know I'm a huge believer in the Law of Attraction.
After all, I was featured in the ground-breaking movie, The Secret, which introduced the world to the Law of Attraction in a massive way. I've also written several books about it and it features prominently in The Success Principles and other programs I've created.
But over the years, I've come to realize that many people have misunderstood what the Law of Attraction is all about.
They think that all they have to do to create the life of their dreams is visualize what they want – and everything they desire will just naturally flow to them. That's not exactly how it works…
There's something missing from this equation – and without it, no matter how much time and effort you put into visualizing your success, all you'll ever be is a person with a dream.
In order to unleash the full power of the Law of Attraction and make your dreams come true, there's one key ingredient you absolutely must integrate into your life: ACTION.
That's right – once you have done the important inner work necessary to get clear on what you really want in life, you have to take ACTION – and take all of the steps required to make your vision a reality.
I'm not saying that all of your visualization and internal work isn't integral to your success – in fact, Law of Attraction teachers Esther and Jerry Hicks often talk about how one hour spent on your inner journey has the same impact as seven hours of taking action in the outer world.
But that doesn't mean you can ignore the action step altogether!
And yet, I find that many people get so caught up doing the inner work, they fail to spend enough time taking the kind of action required to create the forward momentum they need to make their dreams a reality. If you want to achieve real and lasting success, creating balance between your inner and outer journey is essential.
The good news is, once you've done the inner work, the "action work" comes far more easily.
As soon as you start taking concrete steps towards your goals, you will activate the Law of Attraction – and gain more traction and go much further, much faster than if you didn't have that clear vision in your head.
To help you on your journey, here are five concrete steps you can take to move into action – starting today:
1. Develop a strategic action plan
By creating a detailed list of every step you'll need to take to achieve your goals, you'll find it easier to move into action. You won't waste time wondering what to do – because it will be clearly laid out before you.
Be sure to identify the steps you'll need to take to overcome every one of the obstacles you may encounter, as well – both inner and outer. This will help you deal with them much faster should they appear on your path.
2. Follow the trail
If you're not sure which steps you need to take to achieve your goals, follow the breadcrumbs that others have left in their wake! After all, other people have already blazed the trail ahead of you and achieved the exact same goals that you want to achieve.
