Thoughts and Visualization – Are They Enough?
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts. ~John Locke
Every action starts with a thought but not all thoughts lead to action. How many times have you thought of a great idea but didn’t follow through with it?
What are your thoughts? What is it that you truly desire?
You’ve probably heard a lot about the Law of Attraction and Positive Thinking. I wholeheartedly believe in these techniques – however many people are led to believe that all they need to do is think and visualize to make their dreams come true.
It’s important that you know that Your thoughts, dreams and words will not magically give you the things you long for.
The only way you can create the life you desire is to TAKE ACTION.
For example if you visualize yourself in your dream job making a 6 figure income, and every day you affirm this by stating “I work at my dream job making a 6 figure income” – but don’t take action by acquiring the knowledge, skills and training you need for that job … You are just daydreaming.
In our example above, you may not know what skills and training you need …
That’s the beauty of the “Law of Attraction” is that by visualizing and affirming what you want, the answers will come to you on how to obtain it. You need to take action as soon as possible after you receive the answer.
Start a success journal. Every day write down the actions you took that will bring you one step closer to reaching your goal. You’ll be amazed at how all the little things add up.
Stop procrastinating and just do it. How many times have you dreaded doing certain task – and then after you’ve started you really get into it? It also usually takes a lot less time to achieve the task than you originally thought it would. And, you feel so much better once it’s done!
As you continue to use The Law of Attraction you’ll be surprised at how motivated you become to do whatever it takes to succeed.
You need to find the balance between positive thinking, visualizing and taking action. By utilizing the “Law of Attraction” and taking action when the answers come to you – you will achieve your goals quicker than you ever thought possible.

My experience is that if you really visualize that the actions come naturally. the trouble is that most people consider a sketchy vision enough visualizing. My experience is that it takes weeks, even months to be able to see every little detail of the vision, and the time is so long because we don’t know a lot about what we desire.
for example, years ago I had a desire to be generous. It took me 3 years to work that through, by distinguishing every facet of generosity, including fake generosity, and generosity for the sake of making myself feel superior…
I would not call therefore visualization what is taught by most people, especially those vision boards… hogwash, if you ask me.
Thanks.
