"It's not what you do but how you do it". That's basically what Wallace Wattles says in Chapter 12 of "The Science of getting Rich". But so many of us get stuck in stress-related inertia. Inertia is blamed on anger, injustice, helplessness, etc but is just an excuse for not taking efficient action. We get into the rut of thinking "Why bother?" evaluating every action on the expected outcome. The actions we've taken in the past are inefficient because they are not done with FAITH and PURPOSE, says Wallace. We labor out of fear, based on competitive rather than creative motivations.
Wallace says that when we act with FAITH and PURPOSE, we have no idea how any trivial act can manifest into a miracle. That "chance meeting", like meeting my husband at work, would have never happened if I hid in the sales office that day. Results may not be tangible immediately. Successful action is defined as action taken with FAITH and PURPOSE.
To summarize:
"There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
A thought, in this substance, Produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
In order to do this, man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; he must form a clear mental picture of the things he wants, and do, with faith and purpose, all that can be done each day, doing each separate thing in an efficient manner."
