People keep forgetting that a thing is different from its description. And that a thing could have many descriptions.
What I'm trying to say is that there is this thing which, for convenience, we call the "LOA", and then there is this movie called "The Secret". That's one description.

In fact, Esther Hicks (the Abraham-Hicks woman) apparently refused to be associated with "The Secret" precisely because of the above point.

visualising etc is only a part of the bigger picture and that visualising and thinking and this and that wont get you far unless you are willing to get out there and do something.

From my personal experience, if you are really doing your visualisation properly, you CANNOT possibly not proceed to do something about it, if there is something you can personally do about it.
In other words, say for instance you are visualising a fit & healthy body. If you have indeed been really visualising, you will find that your behaviour automatically changes. You will lose your desire for unhealthy foods; you will feel like eating healthier foods; you will feel excited by the idea of going to exercise (and so you will) etc .....
Thus I believe that no one who is actually doing any proper IM will then just sit around and doing nothing. If you are using IM to achieve your goals, you WILL end up taking action to achieve your goals.
After all, thoughts are reality, and you are part of reality.
The thing to bear in mind is that with IM, the rest of reality will also cooperate in fulfilling your intentions.
