We often think that it is our actions that make us success or gain what we want, or produce the result we want. This cognition seems innocently accurate, nevertheless, it is wrong.
Let me give you two examples:
Example 1: You have a car. The car is turned on with its key, the car is turned off with its key. So we may think that it is the key that controls the car, right?
Example 2: Someone is killed by a gunshot. So we think that the person is skilled by the gun, right?
In example 1: It is not the key that controls the car, it is the person who possesses the key. The person decides when to turn on the car and when to turn off the car, not the key.
In example 2: It is not the gun that kills the victim. It is the person who uses the gun that kills the victim. The gun is just a means the shooter uses.
To our people, every action is dictated by its respective thought. We act because we have the thought that dictates the act, we do nothing because we have do-nothing thought; we do something in a certain way because we have do-it-in-a-certain-way thought. When we focus on the action, it is like that we punish the gun after the victim is killed, while the shooter should be the real culprit, when the action is wrong, it is our thought that dictates that action is wrong. Unless you have some nervous system problems, every action, every movement,like raising your hand, extending your leg, opening your mouth, leaning forward, even a tiny movement, is dictated by your thought.You can't think wrong while do correct, and you can't think correct but do wrong. If you trade stock and lose money, it is not that the action of buying that stock or the action of selling that stock is wrong, it is the thought that dictated buying that stock or/and the thought that dictated selling that stock is wrong.If you blame your action, it is like that you blame the gun for killing the person, while actually the shooter should be responsible for killing.
