The 7 Ultimate Laws Of Success

There are certain laws that when obeyed will bring great success to the people who practice them. These are the 7 Ultimate Laws Of Success. These laws are universal laws that operate whether or not one believes in them. To achieve success, you will need to know and obey these laws.

1. The Law of Oneness The Law of Oneness states that we are all connected to the superconscious mind which is the root of all creativity and potential. Therefore, being one with the superconscious mind, we also have the power to create whatever we desire.

Your superconscious mind is your wellspring of infinite creativity and potential. It is the source of all material wealth. Do not mistake it for God. It is simply the third state of consciousness that is the source of pure creativity. It is the power that many successful people have used to propel them from rags to riches, from frustration to self-fulfillment. The great inventors, composers and artists of history tapped into the superconscious mind on a regular basis.

This great power is as available to you at this very minute as it has always been to anyone, anytime, anywhere. The reason many people have not succeeded is because they have not tapped into this infinite source of potential. Thomas Edison, Beethoven, Mozart and many other success people who have tapped into their superconscious mind have enjoyed great success.

2. The Law of Giving and Receiving The Law of Giving and receiving states that whatever you give, that you will receive.

Whatever form of energy you want to receive, you have to keep it flowing in your life. Whatever you want to receive, that you must give to sustain the flow of it in your life. If you stop this flow of energy, you are disrupting both the outflow as well as the inflow of it. It will only cause damage and does not bring any benefit to anyone.

Money is also a form of energy. The law of giving and receiving applies as much to money as to anything else. If one hoards money, he or she is stopping the flow of this energy into his or her life. Money is like water. It flows in a cycle. If you stop the flow of the cycle, you are stopping the circulation of money in your life.

In giving, you receive even more. There is no scarcity but everything is in abundance to those with the Abundance mentality. Some people think that if they give, they will only have less of what they gave. They think that in order for them to prosper, someone else has to lose. This is the scarcity mentality and it is detrimental to your goal achievement.

However, the most important aspect of giving is the intention behind it. When you give, it must be out of the pure desire to give joy to the receiver.

3. The Law of Attraction The Universal Law of Attraction states that all forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration. Therefore, we attract whatever we choose to give our attention to, whether wanted or unwanted.

In this world, everything is vibrating at its own frequency; nothing is static. Thoughts are things. There exist frequencies that are beyond what the human eye can see (such as X-rays) and beyond what the human ear can hear. In fact, we now know that 99.9% of all reality is invisible. Your thoughts have their own frequencies and the frequency of a thought depends on the nature of that thought. When you have a thought, you send out a particular frequency specific to the nature of that thought.

In fact, you are already experiencing the Law of Attraction. You may not be aware of it but you are practicing it all the time. You are sending out thoughts all the time and reaping the results of it. These thoughts have a drawing power. They attract to you the circumstances, people, things etc that you have given your attention to. Look at your life and see what you have been attracting.

4. The Law of Cause and Effect

The universal Law of Cause and Effect states that every cause has a resulting effect, and every effect becomes the cause of another effect. Therefore, for every current effect in your life, there has been a specific cause. Every thought and every action you had in the past generated a force of energy that returns to you in like kind, giving rise to the kind of life you have today.

What you think and do today directly affects your reality in the future. "As you think, so you become". All of your thoughts and actions are a part of a net of causes and effects. Each action is a cause and effect on its own. Because of an action or a thought you had, there will be a reaction that follows, an effect, which was caused by your thoughts and actions.

Therefore you must be aware of the effects that you cause by your thoughts and actions or the lack of it. Even the lack of doing something, neglecting someone, or procrastinating something you should have done has an effect.

Take a moment now to reflect on your life. Has it been the way you wanted it to be? Whether it is or it isn't, whatever you are reaping today is the effect of your past thoughts, actions and reactions. Can you recognize what causes from the past have created your present situation?

The good news that comes with understanding the Law of Cause and Effect is that you have complete control over your future! You must become consciously aware of all your choices today, because they will all become causes of your results in your future.

5. The Law of Polarity The Law of Polarity states that everything has an opposite. When there is a negative, there is a positive. Just as there is hot and cold, light and darkness, male and female, North and South Pole, there is a bad side and a good side to every earthly situation. The worse the situation seems, the more positive a situation is lying underneath. Thus, if something you perceive as negative happens, recognize the positive in it and focus on the positive. Many people have the habit of looking or focusing only on the negative side of situations and other people.

Sometimes in your life, something perceived as negative may happen. Focusing on how negative the situation is and brooding over it means that you are attracting even more negative energy. Instead, apply the Law of Polarity. For every negative situation that happens, there is a positive side to it. Therefore, focus on the positive aspect of the situation. Ask yourself "How can I benefit from this?" By doing so, you redirect your energy to attract more positive energy instead of negative energy.

Something can happen to you. But it is you who choose to let it get you down or to make the most of it. It is up to you to choose to focus on the negative and let it get you down or to see the positive of the situation and make use of it to help you in your life. One great challenge that everyone faces today is something known as "failure" to most people.

For every perceived failure, there is an opportunity to step out and move into a better situation. When you have an outcome that you perceive as failure, it is only a perceived failure. Use it and take advantage of it. Be aware that it is a sign that you should change your strategy. Every perceived failure is not permanent failure but feedback. It is only permanent failure if you let it stop you from achieving your goals.

6. The Law of Detachment The Law of Detachment states that one should be detached from the process by which one's goals are realized or whether the goal is replaced by something higher and better. You may be at point A and your goal is to get to point B. You will have your own plans to get from point A to point B, but do not be too fixated on these plans; be open to the fact that there may be other routes that will take you to point B. This does not mean that you do not research, plan and take actions towards the attainment of your goals. The principle in the Law of Detachment is to be detached from the result and the process of getting it. In not fixating on any one approach you know of to get to point B, you are stepping into the world of Uncertainty. Another word for uncertainty is Infinite Possibilities. In being detached from the process of getting what you want, you open yourself to the wisdom of uncertainty which brings along infinite possibilities.

When you are too attached, you suffocate creativity, fluidity and spontaneity which interfere with the process of achieving your goals.

So if something perceived as unpleasant or negative happens to you and you attach yourself to the meaning you give it, it will be nothing more than a negative event in your life. But if you detach yourself from the meaning you give to it, you will be able to see other meanings which could accelerate your success.

Detachment from the negative meaning of an event or thing will bring you into the realm of infinite possibilities. Many opportunities came about from a problem when someone detached from its negative meaning. 7. The Law of Energy Transmutation

The Law Of Energy Transmutation is one of the most powerful laws that can help you realize your goals. "Transmute" means to change from one form to another. The Law Of Energy Transmutation states that energy from the formless realm is constantly being transmuted into its physical form in the physical world. Know that this energy in the formless realm is inexhaustible and limitless.

The successful understand this law while the unsuccessful are too blinded by what they see with their physical eyes. Because the successful understand this law, they are much less affected if at all by what they see. They know that whatever they see is only a manifestation of their desires.

What you see in this physical world is only a manifestation of someone's desires. All the wealth and achievements of great men like Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and many more were only the manifestations of their desires. Their wealth and achievements were once non-existent in the physical form but they were brought into physical existence from the formless realm by the practice of this law together with the other success techniques.

Start unlocking the power within you and learn the success techniques to tap into your superconscious mind to transmute your desires from the formless realm into their physical equivalent.

Now that you know this great power that is within you, make this powerful law a part of your life, thoughts and actions and see your desires become manifested. Transmute any form of energy be it negative or neutral into a more useful and success-oriented form to achieve unlimited success.

The 2-Word Phrase That Conquers Adversity and Breaks Through Obstacles

"All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me. . . . You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. "
Walt(er) Elias Disney (1901-66)
American animator, showman, film producer

Throughout our lives we are often faced with Obstacles or Adversity. All too often however, we let our obstacles become our adversity or our adversity become our obstacles.

If you look back on your life, you may see this as well.

What I've found is a simple two word phrase for a person who is ready to conquer both.

That phrase is "R.E.A.L. S.M.A.R.T." It's an acronym that tells us the steps we need to take in order to achieve our objective of conquering our obstacle or adversity.

Here's why a person who is ready to conquer their adversity is R.E.A.L. S.M.A.R.T.

A "R.E.A.L." person is a person who: Realizes Everything's Always Learned

This simply means taking the time to think, understand and most of all learn what and where our obstacles are. The next part of the process is learning what we need to know in order to overcome our obstacle or adverstiy.

When you Realize Everything's Always Learned, you will also realize that this is a circular process, and one that must be repeated for each obstacle or adversity we face in our lives.

"Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow." Anthony J. D'Angelo

Now although the S.M.A.R.T. principle is one that is used in business, I firmly believe that many of the principles of business can and must me applied in our lives.

So here it is:

SMART = Specific + Measurable + Achievable + Realistic + Timely

Specific: A goal needs to be exact and clearly stated. Vague and general terms are not goals. Your brain needs to focus on a specific target.

Measurable: How do you know when the goal is completed? When stating your goal you should state how you are going to measure when it is complete. If you don't know the measurement then you will never know that you have achieved it.

Achievable: Your goal must be attainable. If you have not learned what you need to know in order to attain your goal, then you must either learn it and then apply or find someone to assist you that already knows what you don't. Think about past achievements or failures in your life and apply some of the lessons that you learned.

Realistic: Being realistic is a bit tricky. What may be realistic for you may not be realistic for others. You can see this truth throughout your life. Keep your goal within boundaries that you set and upgrade how realistic it is as you get closer or achieve more.

Timely: Keep a specific time of day for working towards your goal. In addition to that, keep a timeline of when you intend on completing each portion of your goal. Keep track of each item completed and when. Tracking is an essential element in achievement.

This was taken from another article I wrote called "Why Taking Action Is Not The Answer". Where ever the word "goal" is mentioned, you will realize that conquering your obstacle or adversity is now your goal.

The REAL SMART principle should be applied any time an obstacle or adversity presents itself in our lives or businesses. There is more to be learned from them than any other time in our lives. With that said, I leave you this...

"Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind." Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)

Italian painter, sculptor, architect, musician, engineer, scientist

Five Formulas for Committing to Success!

1. Clear vision + Intention + Purpose + Focus = Success! A vision is many things: the original blueprint of the successful outcome you desire, a thought picture turned into visual action, a full expression of you! If you are given a vision, then it is within your power to make it happen, if you choose. You would not have been given the vision without the ability to make it come true. Visions are so powerful, it is essential that you know exactly what you are visioning and why. Intention and purpose are partners. Your purpose, or mission, must also be very clear and firm. Your integrity is bound closely with this pair. If it is your intention to truly make your dreams materialize, then a commitment must be made to focus on the specific outcome you desire. Goal planning works well for focus. Make your goals realistic, specific and have a definite timetable for meeting your objectives.

2. Authenticity + Passion + Commitment = Success! Being authentic means that the real you is showing up all the time - in words, thoughts and actions. First - you are true to yourself above all. You are dedicated to knowing what you are all about - your integrity, passion, strengths, honesty and reliability. Knowing your values and acting in alignment with them are crucial to your authenticity. Passion is what stirs from within that motivates you - inspires you to get up each morning, eagerly, to continue working on a job or project that excites you to want to do more. Passion is the unique message that you want to bring to the world. Commitment is a "can-do" attitude. You want to accomplish something so intensely that you are willing to use whatever resources of time and energy to make it so! You have an unabiding passion to stay committed to your project until it is complete.

3. Spiritual Practice + Flow = Success! A spiritual connection is essential for the unlimited and energetic flow in moving forward on your journey to self-commitment and success. Webster defines 'spirit' as a "person's essential nature, an emotional state characterized by vigor and animation, strong loyalty or dedication." Spiritual practices may include everything from organized religion to pagan ritual and ceremony. Since there is no one universal definition that fits all, one must explore and define his or her own description. How does your spiritual path make a difference, not only in your own life, but how might it connect to a global flow of energy? Your personal definition of spirit is one of your own making, touching the honesty of your own soul. You get to choose how you wish to walk in this world and how you want to be connected to a higher source. A strong spiritual practice allows you to flow with a vibrational frequency that will energize and ground you on the 'success' journey.

4. Energy + Expectations + Perseverance = Success! Being energetic and creating reserves of energy are essential for success. If your energy is depleted, you do not have the stamina to carry out the plans for your success. One way to create energy is by taking extremely good care of yourself - even being selfish with your needs! If you support a healthy, energetic, life-affirming style, than you can continue working towards the expectations you have for yourself. One way to identify whether or not your expectations are realistic is to take a piece of paper and make two columns. On the left side, write your expectation. On the right side, write how you might accomplish that. You do have the ability to reach your own expectations, and each one of them needs its own plan. When you look at the columns, you may recognize that some of the expectations are not realistic and that in order for you retain your energy and persevere to the final outcome, the items may need to be adjusted. Perseverance is continuing firmly on your path, regardless of unexpected challenges. If you believe in yourself, and are committed to your processes, you will solve every conceivable quandary or roadblock that appears. You know what the rewards will be if you persevere with your plan.

5. Strong Mission Statement + Plan of Action + Focus = Success! Your mission in life is simply your purpose - and your purpose, your mission. You've heard the saying, "If you don't know where you're going, that's exactly where you'll end up - nowhere!" Mission statements act as a rudder for your entrepreneurial-ship. When you know exactly what you want and how you're going to get there, you can make better decisions along the way knowing that all of your steps must support the mission. If questions arise and you're not sure of the answer, or direction, look to your mission statement to see if it supports the quandary. OK, everything is in place: your vision is clarified, you're feeling passionate about the path you're on, you are connected to your own flow, you're energized and focused, your mission is clear and NOW - you're ready to execute the "plan"! Plans of action do not have to be ten pages long. Your plan is whatever you want it to be - however, you must have one if you want to proceed firmly on your way and reach the pinnacle of your success. A simple plan can consist of lists: i.e. your business name and legal entity (LLC, C or S Corp, sole proprietor etc.), accountant (essential for cash/flow analyses), your mission, administrative needs, budget, competitor research, services you offer, advisory team members...and so forth. There are hundreds of books on the market to help you specifically with business plans. The goal is to move into action at whatever pace you choose to set and keep a steady course to completion. Oh yes, focus again! You can have it all - one focussed step a time! copyright by Sharon Hooper, Commit To Your Success, LLC
