Wealth File #16
Rich people act in spite of fear.
Poor people let fear stop them.
By T Harv Eker
Earlier in this book we discussed the Process of Manifestation.
Let’s review the formula: thoughts lead to feelings, feelings
lead to actions, actions lead to results.
Millions of people “think” about getting rich, and thousands
and thousands of people do affirmations, visualizations,
and meditations for getting rich. I meditate almost every day.
Yet I’ve never sat there meditating or visualizing and had a bag
of money drop on my head. I guess I’m just one of those
unfortunate ones who actually has to do something to be a
success.
Affirmations, meditations, and visualizations are all wonderful
tools, but as far as I can tell, none of them on its own is
going to bring you real money in the real world. In the real
world, you have to take real “action” to succeed. Why is action
so critical?
Let’s go back to our Process of Manifestation. Look at
thoughts and feelings. Are they part of the inner world or
outer world? Inner world. Now look at results. Are they
part of the inner or outer world? Outer world. That means
action is the “bridge” between the inner world and the outer
world.
So if action is so important, what prevents us from taking
the actions we know we need to take?
Fear!
Fear, doubt, and worry are among the greatest obstacles,
not only to success, but to happiness as well. Therefore, one of
the biggest differences between rich people and poor people is
that rich people are willing to act in spite of fear. Poor people
let fear stop them.
Susan Jeffers even wrote a fantastic book about this, entitled
Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway. The biggest mistake most
people make is waiting for the feeling of fear to subside or
disappear before they are willing to act. These people usually
wait forever.
