This world is a kingdom of energy and action; It doesn't matter what you know or who you are - it doesn't matter how many books you have read or what talents you have - only action has the potential to make sense of life. Philosophies impress and ideas abound, but words, no matter how elegant, are cheap. It is easy to talk about commitments, courage, and love, but doing is understanding, and wisdom is born from practice.
Taking action has never been easy in this world; Forces of doubt and inertia are everywhere, even between our mind and body. Converting ideas into actions requires energy, sacrifice, courage, and heart, because acting is taking risks. We have to overcome all the good reasons that invite us to push him away, to let someone else do it, to remain in the simple chair of good intentions.
Law of Action sends the same message over and over: it's better to do what is better than not to do it and have a good excuse.
All living things act, but most people do not act but react - and only react as a consequence of suffering pain or fear, when relationships become hell or when physical bodies fall ill from stress. The Law of Action teaches us to overcome inertias as well as impatience, acting with courage, clear intentions, and commitment.
How can we overcome inertia?
Accepting three fundamental realities:
- First, by accepting our humanity and our physical presence in the world;
- Second, realizing that no one is going to live for us and that we only become stronger through our own efforts;
- Third, accepting that the action may initially cause some discomfort - and then continue with it!
We can no longer afford to wait until we feel safe and secure, inspired or motivated - until fear or doubt turns the other way. We can no longer wait for someone to give us permission to act.
The time has come to act in accordance with our supreme ideals, despite fears, doubts, or uncertainties that arise. We can only show courage in the face of fear. Every day we need courage, because every day we face fear - not necessarily in dramatic situations like catching a thief or saving a drowning person, but in different ways such as expressing our feelings, breaking an old habit, or taking the risk of being different.
