It sounds like Ruskin (and you, cdn) have it that what you do is who who you are. I look at it differently: who you are has you doing what you do.
I'm not concerned about visualizing a parking spot or a bicycle or a mansion and having it show up in my life. I'd rather park as far from the entrance as possible so I have a nice walk, go rent a used bike from the hotel rental shop, and be grateful for my luxurious, gorgeous small apartment overlooking the sea. If I need a Mazeratti, I'll take action and buy a Mazeratti. I am with you that dynamic action is powerful! And one very dynamic action is the generation of a way of being that has you living a life you love.
I am concerned about being what I want to give the world. That is: freedom, connection, joy, and bold inspiration, among other things. There is plenty of action that being those things inspires for me; lots of action that I take, and some I only ponder. And to me, those dynamic actions are only an expression of being who I want to be. Sometimes I just sit around and Be, or I just be with Danger Man, not taking much action at all. The Being is my first priority; the Doing flows freely from Being.
Whatever has you living a life you're in love with, whatever approach you take (especially you, cdn!) I am 100% in favor of it. I don't care what you do; I love who you are with all my heart.
