We gain valuable insights into our nature as humans in our ongoing attempts to create. Creation begins in our thought. It is comfortable to study, think and talk about what we want to create. Ultimately, though, that’s where our creative process stalls out unless we take the action necessary to bring our creative thought into creative reality.
And (a word of warning here) such action generally takes us out of our comfort zone and into uncharted waters. As we create, we are forced to DO — whether that means daubing paint over paint on a canvas, taking the same photo ten times with ten different lenses, writing and re-writing a pivotal paragraph, or changing our presentation at the last minute (again).
Soon the DOING proffers something. By taking inspired action, we net a result, a product, a piece of art, a magazine article, an instructional video, a concerto, a classroom experience. By seeing what to do and doing it, we bridge the gap between thought and outcome, between intention and accomplishment, between possibility and reality. It is our inspired action that gives the Universe permission to move in our behalf. In the very instant that we make a move toward what we want, we begin allowing Universal power to draw to us that which we seek.
A friend of mine from Australia said to me recently, “If you combine the Law of Attraction with the Law of Action, something great is going to happen.”
