There is nothing necessarily wrong with taking action. Action is good. Action is bad only if it causes you harm (eg overwork causes you to become stressed, tired, unhappy, unhealthy etc).

The other problem is that relying on action alone limits you. Because you aren't tapping into that other great resource - the rest of the universe. Many things are beyond the influence and control of your action. But they are not beyond the influence and control of your thought.

The way to understand this is to see that your "action" is merely a subset of your "thought". All your action is your thought, but not all your thought is yur action. And that part of your thought which is not expressed as action, may nevertheless create, affect and influence your reality ... (above and beyond your own emotions).
