The Importance of Taking Action


Enjoying a good life is common to us all. We all want the same things, good health, positive relationships, fulfilling career, and enough money to live comfortably. But, there are others that want a life of abundance and prosperity. These are the ones that have dreams of doing great things, having successful businesses, visiting interesting places, meeting extraordinary people, and having the ability to help others financially.

If you are going to enjoy a life of abundance and prosperity it will require some action. This should be obvious. But, sometimes the obvious is frequently overlooked.

You didn't get to where you are today without taking some sort of action. So, it makes sense that if you have a vision in your head about where you would like to be in the future, it will require action.

The problem with most people is, even though they may have the knowledge to do some particular thing, they lack putting the necessary action behind that knowledge.

We often hear that "knowledge is power." But, knowledge is really only power in reserve. It remains useless if it's not tapped into by applying action. The knowledge that is not put to action remains just knowledge in your head and provides no benefit. It's completely wasted.

To accomplish results, we must couple our knowledge with the necessary action to attain results. The formula for achieving results is: Knowledge x Action = Result. If you were to apply a massive action to your knowledge, it would have a faster, and even greater impact on your life.

Why is it that most people find it difficult to put the necessary action behind their knowledge? I believe it is nothing more than a lack of belief.

Your belief system is the driving force behind your behaviors and your results. If you can change your beliefs, you will change your behaviors. When you change your behaviors, you will change your results. Then, when you change your results, you will change your life.

It all starts with your belief system. Jesus said, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes" (Mark 9:23).

Now, many things can keep one from believing. But, I think the biggest factor that keeps one from believing is fear.  It is a fact that it takes courage to succeed. But, keep in mind that courage isn't the absence of fear, it's the ability to press on despite the presence of fear. Many times, the solution to any fear is simply to do the thing you fear. It's amazing how the fear will disappear!

The smallest of actions, even the ones that seem trivial and insignificant, can lead to great success. It's been said that, "Actions, like pictures, are worth a thousand words."

Without action, you could have the greatest idea and the greatest plan in the world and you would still fail.  Whereas a modest idea and an incomplete plan often produce success when accompanied by enough action.

You just got to get moving. Sir Isaac Newton's principle that states a "body at rest tends to remain at rest and a body in motion tends to remain in motion," definitely applies to the action principle. Once you've taken the first step, the next steps seem easier to take.

It's a natural law that if you do nothing, nothing will happen; if you take minimum action, results are going to be minimal; but, if you take massive action, then you will be rewarded with massive results. Hugely successful people, the kind who go from mediocre to millions almost overnight, know that the major key to their success was taking massive action.

If you want to become hugely successful you must start at the beginning. Most beginnings are small, and appear trivial and insignificant, but in reality they are extremely important.

It's not only the right beginning that is important, it's beginning in the first place. It's about applying that powerful little six-letter-word called "action."

Mastering Abundance And Prosperity Mindset Part 1

It is now known that you can build new neural pathways in your brain with constant focus. The most efficient way of achieving change is with meditation using guided imagery and visualization and now scientists have strongly suggested that this can be applied to financial success.


In their book, How God Changes Your Brain, researchers Andrew Newberg  neuroscientist, and Mark Robert Waldman  therapist, have shown that in their words: the more you meditate on a specific object"be it, God, or peace or financial success" the more active your thalamus becomes, until it reaches a point of stimulation where it perceives thoughts in the same way that other sensations are perceived. In other words, until it becomes part of your Comfort Zone and your reality. The aim, for those wishing to achieve financial success, is to visualize financial success clearly in your mind so that this vision actually changes your brain.


This Mind Matters News and the next one are about increasing Abundance and Prosperity and address the mental barriers and subconscious limiting beliefs holding us back from achieving this. The Wealth Pack (including explanation, goals, and meditations) is available to buy from the CALM Shop both as a download and also as two CDs.


We Can Easily Sabotage Ourselves

If our mind is filled with fears, doubts, expectations, intentions, values, and beliefs that contradict any financial goal we have then this will directly affect any financial outcome. You can experience fears of success or failure, trying and failing, not being good enough all causing stress and anxiety. All this negativity which is deeply embedded in the subconscious mind will behave as negative habits and sabotage us in our endeavors. We need to change our inner paradigm to be able to change our outer financial reality.


Some Limiting Personal Beliefs Can Help To Create Poverty Seminar

It takes money to get money
Best things in life are free
Money is the root of all evil
Money = too much responsibility
I am not worthy
Takes hard work to earn money
Can’t take it with you
Money isn’t everything
Need training/education
Money isn’t spiritual
Can’t buy love
My karma is to be poor
A Camel cannot pass through the eye of a needle

Think about your business for a moment. Is working harder and longer the key to being more financially successful? You will probably answer No but what do you really believe? If your subconscious mind really believes you need to work harder, then guess what that’s what you will consistently do in an effort to be more financially successful.


Your Upbringing

What about your upbringing and your parents’ thoughts about money! Research has shown that if you have (or had) parents or grandparents who were brought up in the Depression and had the attitude of never spend money until you have it to spend that the offspring (and their offspring) would do one of two things: either reject what they were taught and do the extreme opposite  having as many credit cards as possible  or never spend money until they had it to spend. There seemed to be no middle ground. I am reminded of that often made a statement to children we can’t afford it! You can see the consequences of that statement. A better answer is we choose not to buy that right now.

Remember that your conscious mind acts upon what you have in the subconscious so it will form evidence and opinions which support the subconscious beliefs, even though you don’t want the belief. Once you have a belief embedded in the subconscious, which then is deep in your memory, you will act on it just like a habit until you have changed the neural pathway and the memory.

In John Assaraf’s words, we all have C.R.A.P.  Conflicts, Resistance, Anxiety, And Other Problems like procrastination and pessimism. Is it easy to change and can we do it?  Yes, Sandy has been teaching this since 1989 and tens of thousands of people have successfully learned the techniques. Is there resistance to change? Of course, what is procrastination and pessimism if it is not resistance?

Remember, the job of the subconscious mind is to keep you where you are, that is with all the habits and beliefs that you have right now. So, of course, it will fight our every effort to achieve success. However with the mind in the Alpha and Theta state using goals and meditation we can succeed in changing the old neural pathways to be the ones we want.


What Are You Worth?

How much money per year do you believe you are worth? Is it $50,000 or $100,000 or more? If you have a defined figure, know that implicitly your brain will keep you there. It will not be interested in any actions that suggest that you are worth more or make more. Neural Resonance is when your conscious mind (12%) and your subconscious mind (88%) are in sync with each other this means your brain is working for you and not in conflict. So what is the best course of thought as far as your earning power is concerned? Don’t have a ceiling that sells you short!

Neuroscience research has confirmed that if you have a ceiling as to your ability to make money this very fact is sufficient to make you feel stuck. John Assaraf calls this your Expectancy Point.


Your Expectancy Point
Assaraf says One of the most fascinating discoveries in brain research is that over time, deep within your implicit brain, you develop your own personal Expectancy Points,’ such as where you expect’ your income to be, the kind of car you expect to drive, whether you expect to have a lifestyle of luxury or more-of-the-same, even things such as your normal’ weight, whether you expect to live past a certain age and the dynamics of your relationships.

There is not much sense in having an expectancy point’ which doesn’t serve you if you don’t want to maintain your current normal’ level. If you attempt only consciously to increase your expectancy point you will continue to be dragged back to what has been until now your normal’ level. Why? Because your subconscious mind with its neural pathway of your normal’ level drags you back again and so you feel trapped! You have probably been using all sorts of beliefs, habits and oh-so-many excuses to maintain your expectancy point’, yet this is all done unconsciously as it is within your comfort zone. Your conscious mind might try to argue that of course you want a higher expectancy point but really it is your so much more powerful subconscious mind which is driving you.

Can this be changed? Can you prevent your expectancy point from holding you back? Absolutely! You have the ability to use neuroscience to your advantage and put in a new neural pathway and hence increase your ceiling work towards a new expectancy point in your subconscious which, when you think like that, will also be in your conscious mind. Both your minds are then on the same track!

The word Abundance has been used deliberately. As has been stated before, when we are abundant, we have enough. It can be applied to many things in life love, money, health, relationships, humor, compassion, to name a few. It can often be in conflict with money and that is why it is important to have a life purpose and work towards that purpose with balanced goals (not all the effort going on money) then you will truly Create Happiness Intentionally. That is the purpose of the CHI 5 day/4 night live in Seminar.

So, know that whatever negative habits, limiting beliefs, lack of self-worth, inherited challenges or low expectancy points you may have, in working towards Abundance and Prosperity, there is a scientifically proven way of changing these negative neural pathways and establishing new ones which will assist you.
