Creating with The Universal Law of Action
The Law of Attraction is an amazing Universal Truth, ancient in its roots but made popular again with a rush of material in popular media. The basic idea is that you have the power to set your intentions about what you want in life and then attract it to you via focused thought. While many people have had initial success with this concept, there seemed to be something missing from the equation. There was quiet restlessness beginning to stir in the spiritual new thought world. I, as well as a growing number of others, began wanting something more, something deeper, and something more meaningful. Some people began to grow frustrated and weary with trying to “think themselves” into successful lives and loving relationships.
I began to discover the Univeral Law of Action (a concept discussed briefly in the book The Light Shall Set You Free, by Drs. Milanovich and McCune) and its amazing power to move intentions forward. As I began to discuss and write about the law of action, I found two responses to this material. Either people we overjoyed, grateful to finally have the words to express what they were intuitively feeling was missing or I was met with resistance. I was told I didn’t need to do anything other than think good thoughts. I knew there was more, that I needed to add action to my intentions. I kept coming back to “faith without works is dead. James 2:20” I needed more than just thinking and faith. I needed to bring my intentions, my faith, to life through empowered action. I was no longer willing to limit myself to only visualizing what I desired. I began to LIVE what I wanted, even if in just small ways, breathing new life into my dreams.
The Law of Action requires you to take a proactive role in creating your life. It isn’t about leaving The Law of Attraction behind. This concept is still very necessary, but it is only a foundational step. It gives your actions purpose. Adding congruent action to your desires creates powerful change. However, there is a dance which balances both of these concepts. There is a time for silence, for vision, for focused intent; there is also a time for action. First, decide what you want, then take reasonable steps toward those goals. As you take these steps, you will notice you begin attracting what you need to take further action and the further action you take, the more you create what you want. When something feels forced, take a step back, reassess, but don’t get stuck there. There is a vast difference between “standing on your truth” and demonstrating plain human stubbornness. I like to check in during those times with asking myself the questions “is this moving me closer to my desires, or further away” or “am I fighting for my limitations or living for my possibilities?” Moving from the space of imagining, feeling, and thinking about the goal and into action, or movement toward that goal, is essential.
I invited you to discover the amazing power of the Universal Law of Action. Ask yourself what can you do today, beyond thinking your intentions, to move yourself closer to what you desire? What step, or steps, can you take? Every step you take is to be celebrated! It is in each of these steps you begin to bring your intentions to life, creating an empowered life, full of what you desire!
