Life. Sometimes, I meet the Dreamer. He’s the one who talks far and wide about very big ambitions, who loves motivational movies such as The Secret, but strangely avoids questions on specific actions to achieve those dreams. It’s sort of like a shout and run strategy. Oh the bubble.
Stuff like The Secret is great. However it’s dangerous when we fail to see the complete message, and choose to focus on the other more easy part… the belief thingy. It’s easy to like that part of the message of course. It feels good and makes you dream. However there is the other half after belief. If the buck stops at the belief, I’m sorry Dreamer… nothing will happen. I think it’s time for a new book and movie, it could be a bestseller…
I’ll probably call it The Action.
One day Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it. He asked the Bedouin, “Why don’t you tie down your camel?” The Bedouin answered, “I put my trust in Allah.” The Prophet then said, “Tie your camel first, then put your trust in Allah”. (Tirmidhi)

You have a great point Bro.
This Dream and Belief, its important but the what matters is the Actions. Then again if you just take action without believe, it will also be a problem.
It must always be approached again from time to time. There must be a process..
That is why Abang Abu came out with M.A.P ->
M- Mindset
A - Action
P-Plan
The beliefs and dreams come when you are moulding the mind, then necessary actions are needed to make that dream or idea come true. The plan is last because if you not taking the necessary actions, how would you know how to plan. Before you need to plan you are required to do the research and so on…
This eventually becomes a cycle. It does not stop just at the planning part.
