Basically, action is just a kind of thought. Even hitting a golf ball or singing a song is a kind of thought. If you were brain-dead, you wouldn't be able to hit a golf ball or sing a song, would you?
Thoughts affect reality, and direct action, which a form of thought, is a good example. (Of course, direct action is not the only way by which thought affects reality).
Now, the failure to take action may be a sign of resistance in your thoughts. For example, suppose your intention is to get fit, and that your belief is that to get fit, you must exercise. However, you fail to exercise. This is a sign of resistance.
This resistance may stem from other beliefs inconsistent with your intention. For example, these beliefs could be beliefs such as:
"Exercise is boring and painful."
"I don't have time to exercise".
"I look ugly in shorts."
"I just don't think I can succeed in losing weight."
"I am so unfit I may injure myself while exercising."
Or any number of other things.
