The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do, when you engage in inspired actions that support your faith and belief.
We must engage in actions that supports our thoughts dreams, emotions and words
Practicing this law is all about slowing down, getting quiet, and creating space for internal guidance. When we let go of our need to arrange and control how things will work out and are instead open to all possibilities, it makes room for new ways of achieving the goals that we might not have considered otherwise.
This universal law of nature states that you need to take actions that support the fulfillment of your wishes, desires, and goals. You should make necessary efforts to accomplish what you have wished for. Unless actions are taken that are in harmony with your thoughts and perspectives; no foreseeable results are possible.
The law of action also explains that you need to possess an inner urge to do something. The motivation and inspiration to accomplish goals and achieve success have to come from within. It takes you closer to your vision and purpose in life.
When you act on something, you set your thoughts and feelings into motion. It works for you and with you to realize your dreams.
Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.
Peter Marshall
Action is the foundational key to all success.
Pablo Picasso
You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Sacred Text
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
1 John 3:18
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
James 1:22
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
James 2:26
“But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.”
James 1:23-25
Jesus - Take up your bed and walk - friends lowered him through roof
Poem: A Poem on Taking Action by Grisha
Taking action is what separates one from others.
Taking action brings dreams to fruition while inaction drowns and smothers. Success is not about luck like finding a four leaf clover because even if you’re on the right path if you don’t take action you can still get run over.
Thoughts flow through an open window like a never-ending draft.
Thoughts without action are stuck floating in an unconscious raft. Thoughts without action never become larger than the neurons they occupy. Thoughts without action will have you forever wondering why?
Why did you wait till all your thoughts were consumed by, when will you die and who will be at the funeral and who will cry?
All of your ideas buzzing around like flys.
I’ve missed making connections because I was shy.
I didn’t take action and now my days are filled with sigh after sigh after sigh and because I didn’t take action I’m left with the question…
why?
Take Action Poem By Sue Ellson
Action beats hesitation
Doing beats hoping
Persistence beats defeat
Opportunity beats regret
Starting beats stalling
Motivation beats limitation
Courage beats comfort
Striving beats stalling
Leading beats following
Knowing beats doubting
Choice beats limitation
Answers beat assumptions
Now beats never
Take action.
Story: Paulo Coelho
Over 30 years ago a book titled ‘The Alchemist’ was published and hardly anyone noticed. The author of this book was a man named Paulo Coelho, and he was told by the first bookseller to carry his book, that only one person bought a copy after it was released. As bad as it was to hear about the grim results Coelho remained confident in his work.
He waited for better results to appear, but they were slow to come by as six months would pass before the next copy would be sold. Oddly, the person who bought his first book was the same person who bought the second.
After that first year the publisher decided that the book was a flop and ended Coelho’s contract. Fortunately, though, Coelho shrugged off that initial defeat. He made up his mind to not give in, and so he doubled down to pursue his vision with even more fervor by finding another publisher.
Now finding this new publisher was no easy task, as he was met with rejection after rejection. But, he finally did land that new publisher, and with it, another opportunity capture his dream.
From that point forward Coelho’s dreams started to come true. At first, he only sold three thousand books. But the sales kept trickling in, as he then sold ten thousand, and then 100 thousand, and on and on.
Coelho’s luck has yet to run out, as his books sales continue to grow year over year, with now over 150 million and counting copies of ‘The Alchemist’ having been sold. Even more staggering is the fact that he sold over 320 million books when counting all of his works.
Paulo Coelho’s story shows that if you truly want something bad enough, all the universe really will conspire to help you make that dream happen.

Right Action Prevails in My Affairs
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 11: 24
There could be no more explicit technique for effective prayer than this, laid down by the Master himself. We actually are to believe that we already possess the object of our desire when we ask for it. We are to accept it even as we believe in the harvest that follows the spring planting. Therefore, every spring should be one of hope and every harvest one of fulfilment.
Affirm:
I must learn to accept the good I desire and affirm its presence in my experience. Realizing that there is a Law of Good that governs my affairs, I loose every thought of doubt, fear, or uncertainty and accept the good that I desire, here and now. Realizing that this Law of Good not only knows how to create, but must contain within Itself all the details of its own creation, I let go of the need to say how my good shall come and accept the perfect answer today. Feeling a deep sense of gratitude and joy because of this, I live enthusiastically and with calm and happy anticipation of more good yet to come. And because there is no sense of strain in this, I relax in quiet contentment, while at the same time realizing that what the Law of Good does for me It must do through me. I declare that I not only know what to do but I am impelled to act, to move objectively. I move into a greater sphere of action and life with complete certainty, calm confidence, and limitless trust. Today everything of good in my experience is reanimated, reborn, and increased. Gladly I accept this and place no limit on the Divine Givingness.”

Benediction
FROM ‘HUMAN RITES’ BY WARD AND WILD.
“Beloved,
our Father and Mother,
in whom is heaven,
hallowed be your name,
followed be your royal way,
done be your will and rule,
throughout the whole creation.
With the bread we need for today,
feed us.
In the hurts we absorb from one another,
forgive us.
In times of temptation and test,
Strengthen us.
From trials too great to endure,
spare us.
From the grip of all that is evil,
free us.
For you reign in the glory of the power that is love,
Now and forever.
Amen.”
