What an exciting time do we live in right now! It used to be regarded as “weird” or “airy fairy” to talk about vibrational energy, Law of Attraction and your thoughts becoming things.

But this is rapidly changing due to movies like “What the Bleep…” and “The Secret”. Although it will still take some time for these ideas to become truly mainstream we are absolutely getting there. I just feel like things are changing… even my most down to earth, skeptical friend who would previously just have laughed at me for even just suggesting to watch a movie like “The Secret”, actually really enjoyed it! Although he still had some remarks he accepted the general idea.

One thing he mentioned was absolutely spot on. He said “yes, it is all good thinking of certain things, wanting these things to happen en really feeling as if you have them… but you still need to actually DO something, right? It is not just going to happen by sitting on the couch thinking of it”.

I completely agree with him. You might know this saying: “God gave us the light, but we still need to switch on the light switch…”.

Meaning that by having positive thoughts, visualizing your goals and feeling really good about them, you create a clearing for your dreams to become reality; it is crucial you do that fits and then you need to take certain actions towards achieving those dreams.

It is like setting up the decor, switching on the lights, turning on the music for a play….but you still need the actors to actually perform the play! So it is certainly not enough to just spend all day visualizing your goals being achieved and feeling wonderful about them. A certain level of action in the direction of your goals is required. More importantly, these actions need to be the actions you would take as if you have already achieved your goals.

James Ray (of “The Secret”) says: “Step forward, taking action in the direction … not where you are currently, but moving forward and saying, ‘Okay, if this is who I’m becoming, then what action would I take right now if I were already there?’”

So BE the person you wish to become, take the actions that fit that person and you will eventually HAVE what that person has. This equates to “Be, Do, Have”.

For instance, your goal might be to make a certain amount of money with your business. For example, you could put an image of a cheque for that amount on your Vision Board combined with images and affirmations relating to how your life will be when you have that income. By doing this you might for example attract some amazing customers who ring you to place an order. In the most basic of basics, you will still need to take that order, process it and make sure your customers get their products. And you will do this in the most professional way, just like someone who makes that kind of money would!

So, if you Be the person that earns that kind of money (for instance: someone who makes that kind of money is someone who is being “prompt and professional in their dealings”), you Do like that person would do (so you would process their orders fast and correct), and you will then eventually Have that income.

Another example: you might get an email with an invitation for a certain networking event. The action would be to go to this event in order to for example meet another company that turns out to be looking for someone just like you to work with. Now, attending the event might normally scare you because you think you are a shy person. But when you realize that the person you wish to become is confident, you will go and will therefore reap the rewards by meeting that person.

By first visualizing your goals you send a message to the universe, which in turn will orchestrate the right events and people to show up in your life to make those goals happen. You then need to turn up and take the right action in the direction of your goal and be the person you want to become. I trust you get the idea.

Have a look at he goals you have set for yourself and think about which actions you can take to make those goals happen. What actions can you take today, to get closer to your goals? Think about who you need to be being in order for these goals to manifest into your life. When you visualize you having achieved them and open your mind, the right action steps will come to you. Just trust what is happening and take the action.
