Trying to convince someone that action IS required or that beaurocratic red tape IS required to get through.
Tell me, do you agree with these sayings?
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
You can't get something for nothing.
The monkey paw thing is going to hold you back, big time, and I got the same sort of feeling from your first post that you have a belief that you can't get anything worth having easily, or that you have to sacrifice something to get something else, a big part of the scarcity mentality. Its about how you do your cost-value calculation, IMO. See here:

My response to above, it may be a little rambly, but if you cna understand it, I think it might help you, especially point 4:
Mind-Manual » Musings about Intending Money
While not directly about what you're talking about, but it seems like a version of what I call "middle-class mentality". That's not an accurate label by any means, but it just says to me that you believe to get something you have to give something up (scarcity thinking), either emotionally, physically, spiritually, monetarily or what have you.
Now here's the alternate belief: That you can have things without needing to give something up. Think about times you got gifts? Or the time you found money on the ground, if you did.
Another, related belief is that for you to have something, someone else has to give something up.
Let me know if any of this rings a bell with you and I'm not just totally off the mark. I hope this helps anyway.
You might want to start by reading some good PD books if you haven't, like Goals! by Brian Tracy or the Articles by Steve Pavlina. Then try some IM books like Seven Spiritual Secrets, The Law of Attraction by Michael Losier (excellent intro) and The Law of Attraction by Abraham-Hicks (and the other books by them). I hope this helps!
