Now that you have looked at your recent accomplishments and become clear about what you want to be, do and have, and created your "ideal" vision with lots of juicy colors, sounds, pictures, tastes and smells, you're ready to start acting.
Before acting it's a good idea to extract some specific goals from your vision. Something that is specific and timed. For example, if, in your vision, you're in perfect health, a short term goal (3 months) could be to reach a certain weight and a healthy percent of body fat. Your intermediary goals could be to get a physical check-up (this is a reminder to the men reading this:-), begin an healthy food and nutritional program and start exercising.
When it comes to action, too many people engage in what I call "gerbil action." You know what I mean. Gerbil action is where you do a lot of "stuff" and take a lot of action but produce minimal results. These are the sales people who make hundreds of phone calls and accomplish little.
There is a better way. Use what I call, "Inspired Action." Inspired action is when you're tapping into the "bigger" you, the one that is connected to the "All That Is." It's really a matter of raising your personal vibration to be in touch with higher forces. Remember we were created in the image and likeness of God. It's time we started acting as such.
The process I learned for getting into this higher vibration is to sit quietly, read my vision- as if it is already accomplished and see it complete, getting into the feeling of already having whatever it is I want. This puts me in the vibration of "completion" since, on the spiritual plane, it's already so.
After I do this, and am in harmony with what I desire, I ask, "What next action can I take that will move me closer to my vision?" Then, I sit quietly and listen for inspiration.
More often than not, the idea that comes is bigger than what I would have thought and consistently produces a greater result. This was the process I used to sell my first book, Handbook to a Happier Life, to a big publisher. I sent faxes to three publishers and connected with the ideal publisher for the book. For anyone not familiar with publishing, most people send hundreds of query letters and accomplish nothing.
