So, after you get your creative mind to draw the ideas and resources to you, it's your ability to take action that separates you from the idle dreamer. Taking action is the real secret to creating your reality. Without it, all your great ideas will simply vanish into thin air.
Making your goals an absolute must is a big first step in driving you to take action. But, no matter how grand your ideas are, there will be certain times when getting yourself to take action may be a little harder. Fortunately for you, you will be prepared for those times in advance.
You will have learned how to provide some "positive pressure" that will drive you forward towards your goals. Creating and putting the appropriate "propulsion and compulsion systems" in place will do the job. In other words, you need to design something that will create the desire to pull you towards your goals as well as push you away from the possible alternative outcomes.
There are two very powerful forces in human beings that either drive them towards a goal, or away from the alternative. Most people are conditioned to respond more when there is a negative pressure applied. They will do more to avoid a negative outcome than they will do to gain a positive outcome. The remainder of people, the smaller group, will respond more when positive pressure is applied.
So, most people will work more towards achieving their goals if they realize that the alternative could cause them a lot of pain. And the others will work more when they focus on the pleasure of achieving the goals.
To explain it another way, most people will do more to avoid pain than they will to gain pleasure. Anthony Robbins has really popularized this age-old "pain-pleasure principle" through his products.
When you find out which of these two forces drive you more, you can use that one to your advantage to help you achieve your goals much faster. But...what if you were to use both the forces, simultaneously, to drive yourself towards your goals? Wouldn't the combined forces of the two be much more powerful and effective than just one of the forces? You bet they will.
