The
Secret of
"Doing Without Doing"
The Secret of “Doing Without Doing”
By Dr. Robert Anthony
One of the misconceptions most people operate under
is you get what you want in life by what you DO or through the actions
you take. Most people believe the DOING or action part is what makes
things happen. Actually, "doing" causes you to create
in reverse.
Let me explain.
The reason we put a lot of emphasis on action is because we don't
understand the power of our thought. If you analyze it, 90% of most
people's actions are spent trying to compensate for inappropriate
thought.
The Chinese philosopher Lao-tsu said, "In the practice of the
Way, every day something is dropped. Less and less do you need to
force things until finally you arrive at “non action.”
When nothing is done, nothing is left undone." What he
is talking about is “doing without doing.”
The problem is most of us are preoccupied with "doing".
Unfortunately most of our doing usually involves struggle. In the
western world we are conditioned to be action-oriented, so we place
a tremendous value on doing. We are so busy doing we don't realize
that all this "doingness" causes us to create in a reverse
fashion.
Most of our actions are out of fear, worry or doubt because we believe
nothing will get done unless we DO something. In other words, we
are trying to force our desire into manifestation through action.
If your decision to DO is dominant, then you'll not focus on what
you want to BE in the present moment. This causes you to miscreate
because BEING is the first and most important step in the creative
process.
Here is the secret to getting results with ease:
It is not your action that makes things happen, it is your intent.
You can reduce the need for action to a very minimum by allowing
yourself to focus on what you desire until you feel the positive
energy begin to move within you. This energy is not based on doubt,
fear, anxiety, worry or need. If you focus on what you want instead
of what you don't want, you'll know when it is time to take action.
And when you do, it will be effortless. Doors open and the entire
universe will conspire to assist you in your desire.
Put simply, you should take no action on anything until you have
visualized your desire and made it real enough in your mind that
your next action (step), whatever it is, seems like the most logical
step.
How can you know the next logical step? Here is the test that you
can give to yourself before taking any action: If you focus on what
you desire and still feel overwhelmed or anxious, then you are not
ready for any action. You know you are ready when it feels like
the next logical step is effortless. There is no effort, no strain
and no pain.
What we want to do is to use the leverage of energy, the same leverage
of energy that creates everything in the universe. However, we are
so caught up in the reality of WHAT IS, that we feel we must create
everything through physical activity.
Have you ever seen people who seem to have all the wonderful things
in their life without much effort? It almost seems like they have
an advantage over everyone else. Then you see the people who work
the hardest usually have the least. That doesn't seem fair, does
it? But that's the way the universe works.
Unfortunately, those who work the hardest usually have the least
because they haven't learned the leverage of aligning their energy.
They are going about creating their lives the hard way. They are
trying to use their actions to create what they want.
We have also been programmed that in order to have what we desire
we must work hard. How many times have you heard—"No
pain, no gain." The implication is that if you want to make
something of yourself, you must work hard. The message is clear—if
you are not hurting or struggling, you are not moving forward.
But here is the truth—anytime you are struggling, you are
miscreating. Anytime you feel pain or struggle, your magnetic point
of attraction is directed to that which you do not want, rather
than to that which you desire. (Read that again.)
Actions are necessary, but they are the last component of the creation
processes. Actions cannot be used effectively to initiate results,
because initiation is the function of BEING, then thought, then
action.
Remember, the creation of anything is through your vibration. Everything
vibrates, and it is by that vibration that we harmonize and attract
experiences to ourselves. So before you act or do anything, first
ask yourself, how am I vibrating? How do you tell? You tell by how
you FEEL. Your feelings show your vibration. How you feel determines
what you attract.
When you use the process of creating by only focusing on what you
want instead of what you don't want, you will see that the universe
will provide a different set of circumstances for you that requires
much less action. This puts you in a state of "doing without
doing" or action without effort.
So if you want more results in your life—and with far less
effort, struggle and pain—try this "not doing" way
to success.
