Thanks for your reply, ALG.

Yes definitely, I 100% agree. If history has taught us anything, it's that human beings are capable of more than we can imagine.

Yes. This is obvious, right? And that was my point.
SmartAlx made the same point when he said, "I can't just sit on the couch to get rich. I have to make it happen." But then ALG responded, "I do sit on the couch and get rich. I'm sorry that it doesn't work like that for you."
Now, I know it's fun for everyone to disagree with SmartAlx all the time, but that wasn't really a totally accurate response. ALG doesn't just sit on a couch and get rich... he does much more than that. ALG takes a lot of action to align and examine his thoughts and he physically works 40+ hours a week at a job as well. Examining thoughts doesn't just happen on its own, for most of us... it requires a good degree of effort (action).
The whole conversation reminded me of The Secret's idea of "visualizing money and checks just started appearing in the mail!" Everyone rolls their eyes at that, because everyone knows there's
really more to it than that.

But acknowledging that doesn't not mean that it automatically follows that your thought is not bringing the experiences to you that your action receives.

Yes, our realities come from our thoughts. I think this is hammered down in chapter 1 of every law of attraction book, heh. Not holding onto grudges is often in those books too.
