I think that it was Tony Robbins who said that the key to success was in taking massive action toward your goals.

Not just a little bit of action. Massive Action.

Abraham-Hicks and others teach that it’s your vibration, not your action, that makes the difference.

So who’s right?

Well, I think they both are...it just depends on how you are looking at it.

As humans, we are naturally action oriented. We DO things.

I believe we are co-creators (with God/Source), and our vibration both causes and comes from that creation.

There’s a saying out there - “Fake it until you make it.” There's a lot of truth to this. It helps get you in the vibration.

All creation begins with a thought. Before a building is built, it’s mapped out on paper. Before a car is built, it’s designed. Before a book is written, it’s outlined. Even before a meeting starts, an agenda is created.

We can do the same thing with our lives.

The plan, the design, is where we get into the vibration of our creation. We see it, we feel it, we bring it into existence in our minds.

But then, in order to bring our creation from our minds and into the physical world, we take action - and the more massive that action is, the more quickly the manifestation will happen.

Sometimes, in our day to day experience, we feel like we just don’t know what to take action on, what to create, what to DO.

I always say "Just do something...anything that you think will lead you in the direction you desire to go."

For instance... say one of your goals is to get the dishes done. You can sit around and try to get yourself into the vibration of a person who has gotten the dishes done. Or you can just DO the dishes.

But sometimes it’s hard to motivate ourselves to do the dishes. How do we do that?

One way is to think from the end result. Think about how nice and clean your kitchen will be, etc. Sometimes, that’s enough to motivate. But not always. Sometimes it takes discipline and commitment to just set aside the time and just do it. One dish at a time.

OK, just walk over to the sink.

Now pick up a dish.

Clean off the major gunk, and put it in the dishwasher.

Now pick up another one.

Clean off the gunk and put it in the dishwasher.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Suddenly, you're in the “vibration” of doing the dishes.

And eventually, as long as you keep taking the action, the dishes will be done.

Sometimes, the action creates our vibration which will motivate us to continue, and sometimes the vibration is already there, spurring us on to take the action.

And it doesn’t really matter who’s right, or which came first.

Contemplation alone never got the dishes done.
