I am glad to see that so many people are currently learning and experimenting with the Power of Positive Thinking and the Law of Attraction. Thoughts and words have tremendous power. But Positive Thinking was never supposed to be a substitute for Action. Thoughts have power, words even more so, but without action - there is no manifestation. Positive thinking without positive DO-ing, leaves the energy of our intentions stuck there in the realm of potentiality - action is required to set the intention free.
So, what prevents people from taking action? If you boil it down it seems to always be a fear of something that holds people back: fear of success, fear of failure, fear of being judged, fear of finding out that you are not exactly who you thought you were, fear of other people finding out that you are not who they think you are (or - who you think they think you are.)
How do you shift that? How do you get past the fear?
First - set the intention that you will overcome it.
Then DECIDE that you will overcome it EVEN THOUGH it will probably be very uncomfortable.
If you wait until you are not afraid of success, or failure, or being judged before you begin to take action -- you simply will not take action.
Here's an analogy: Saying "I won't do this or that until I overcome my fear", is like saying "I won't go to Europe until Europe isn't so far away."
Once you finally go to Europe, you are there, and it isn't far away anymore - but until you go there it is always far away. Until you risk success, or failure. or being judged, or whatever other fear is holding you back - you never completely defeat your fear. Facing fear is uncomfortable - sometimes very, very uncomfortable. The only real sacrifice you need to make to overcome a fear is to be willing to feel uncomfortable for a while. That discomfort does not kill you - and it DOES make you stronger.
Positive thinking, speaking AND action are the ingredients of Positive Manefestation.
