Nothing is new. Everything that ever was and presently is has been created by something that already exists. Success comes from where it is now.

That last sentence tripped me up a little bit the first time I heard it and then I related it to something Deepak Chopra was told by his mentor when he began his business. Deepak was concerned because he needed millions of dollars to begin his new business and he asked his mentor “where will the money come from?” and his mentor replied “from where ever it is at the time.”

That is a truly profound statement when you think about it. However, it was still a bit difficult for me to grasp until I personally put it into action. I recently needed to make a little extra money because I wanted to pay something off and not worry about making payments. I also didn’t want to use savings, so I began to just internalize that from where ever the finances I needed are presently an additional $1,500 will come in this month.

Behold! Last month $1,197 additional dollars came into my possession. Now some would argue I didn’t get the full $1,500. I say so what! Just the fact that I was able to attract abundant additional funds proved to me that the universal laws are working and in full effect. Not only that, but by putting myself into that alignment last month I can now duplicate the same processes that enabled me to achieve a higher income and do it again this month.

When you know that everything is possible and you truly can have anything that you desire, as put in The Secret, “the universe is your catalog.” Get out there and begin placing your order. But don’t ever forget; be careful what you wish for!

I hope identifying these laws was beneficial for you, if you have any insights, suggestions, or comments please let me know what you think. I appreciate you.

Have an absolutely spectacular day!

There is a never ending cycle in life and it is cause and effect.

Every cause has an effect and every effect has a cause. This is congruent with the Slight Edge principle I recently posted on. In a nut shell, every decision that we make falls either on the success curve or the failure curve.

Our daily actions are either bringing us close to our desired outcome or farther away, there is no way to remain stagnant in life. The masses subscribe to procrastination in hopes things will just work themselves out. They have built a house on the failure curve. This is why by 95% of people by the age of 65 are dead or dead broke. Only 5% of people can live the rest of their life in financial comfort!

Personally, this is just mind boggling to me, with the vast array of business opportunities in the world so many people just settle down into their comfort zone and don’t take advantage of the abundance that is out there. But, I will spend no more time discussing what could be if people changed, as Jim Rohn would say “Why would you signing up for that class.”

I put an extremely high value on education, not a traditional education, a “real education.” The education you get when you get out into the trenches and experience life. Find out the effects of making a certain number of sales calls, attending multiple networking events, meeting X number a people a week, exercising X number of times a week, reading X number of books a year, listening to valuable audio programs from people you find successful. This is the education that will show you an exponential return on investment. These are the causes for many of the effects we aspire to have in our lives.

Stop rolling the dice, success is not by chance. Study success and model the behaviors of those who have achieved what you aspire to and you will never be disappointed as long as you press on never accepting failure.

Good luck and God bless.

There is an order to all movement in life.

Life has a flow at all times, and in all areas. Everything from your networking and business, to your health and wellbeing has a constant flow to it. There are certainly times in life when we may find ourselves getting impatient with the speed of progression and that is what I would like to address when talking about this universal law.

When we are taught how to set goals for instance, we are instructed to give it a time frame. Well that is great, but what happens to our demeanor when we fall short or life happens and things get postponed? For those who are goal setters this can be a little frustrating and I am here to encourage you to embrace the failure. Every failure has a purpose, as does every success.

Here is what I have learned by experience, whatever is going to happen is going to happen, period. Previously, when I was in a social setting and someone asked me “what’s going on?” My answer used to be “Making things happen!” Only now I have realized I am not making anything happen at all, I am doing all that I can to prompt specific events and business deals to take place and because of the rhythm I have put myself into I simply “let things happen.” Once you can set your plan, do what you need to do, and review your actions all that is left is to let things happen.

Please don’t misinterpret me here and go out into massive action and then sit back and wait for things to fall into place, instead plug into the rhythm of life. Get into the flow of your business, of your health, of your relationships, and allow yourself to create a steady pace. I personally love what a mentor of mine told me when I started my business; he said “Joe, the people who succeed are those who can master the art of relaxed intensity.”

Staying calm, knowing the universe is operating absolutely perfectly, and putting a big smile on your face to greet the world while going through any situation is where you will find yourself after understanding the principles of the universe.

Life has a constant flow, enjoy it!

All opposites are different degrees of the same thing.

I am sure you have heard the expression “opposites attract.” When you have a magnet the positive attracts the negative, correct? Failure is accompanied by success.

There are countless examples of successful people who have gone through tremendous failures only to prevail exceptionally well. The difference maker is their persistence. If you can wrap your head around this universal law it can empower you to have the courage to get through any situation regardless of how dramatic or severe it may be.

Walt Disney for example went bankrupt multiple times before finally succeeding in the creation of what all of us know today as Disney World/Land. Abraham Lincoln had dozens of failures throughout his life until he became president and abolished slavery. What would the world be like if just these two men didn’t press on and know without equivocation they were going to achieve something great?

How much are you capable of? Are you willing to continue on through the fog to get to the light, regardless of what it takes?

You could be the next triumphant individual to make a monumental change in the world!

All things only exist by comparison. Think about it, what would be hot if there was no cold, good if there was no bad, right without left, it is all relative.

Anything and everything you experience just “is” until you compare it to something else. Until something is compared there is no relationship. It is personal interpretation and belief systems that cause us each to view the same exact situation differently.

A great example of this many of you may have experienced before in a relationship. You ask you partner if anything is wrong and they say “no, things are great,” but their tone isn’t convincing enough for you. Now your interpretation is something is clearly wrong, while they truly do feel great. Both of you heard the same words, but one interpretation was different than the other.

Once you can accept this law it will allow you to appreciate the experiences you have throughout your business life while dealing with all different types of people. When something unsavory happens in life just think about what possible break through may be just around the bend. Definitely easier said than done, but after practice it can become second nature.

No two people are the same, and neither is the way situations are interpreted. So instead of “making things happen,” just let them happen and enjoy your experiences.

Until next time, have a wonderful day!

This is a law commonly referred to as the Law of Attraction.

The phrase has been a popular topic in the personal development world recently, and I thought that I had a pretty good grasp of it. What I found out once I was able to understand the principles behind what was really transpiring was that life is operating absolutely perfectly for everyone. Life, up until this point, has given you everything that your mind has requested with emotion.

It was interesting to think that my life journey has been going absolutely perfectly all this time…. It made me question, what about when this happened, and that happened, and why didn’t that go the way I wanted it to, why, why, why!! I found myself thinking.

What I found out was, pretty much every experience in life negative or positive was once a thought in my mind or someone else’s mind who I was dealing with. Every thought has a frequency to it. It is stated that the frequency of thought is of cosmic proportions and has the most powerful frequency. I like James Ray’s analogy.

We all understand that Radios waves have a certain frequency, and that it isn’t the box in our car’s console that is creating what we listen to. It is a similar relationship between you and the universe, only you are the transmitter and receiver, and the universe is provides the response signal giving you what you requested.

Once I understood that everything has a frequency, the source of the frequency (emotion) defines the intensity, and the human thought creates the most powerful frequencies. I was then able to seriously work on my business and other areas of my life that I wanted to see change in.

Life gets better every day and yours can too. Continue to read and analyze these principles and you will undoubtedly see a change.

Nothing ever remains the same; everything is changing all the time. Evolution is a constant in all things whether it is an inanimate object of a physical being.

Think of it in terms of a stagnant pond. The longer the water sits the more bacteria grows and the molecular composition of the pond continues to change. Since everything is made of energy and under a super powered microscope you would be able to see that the difference in a something that is “solid” and something that is not is the spacing of molecules/matter.

Other ways you can accept or understand this law is to think of time or even the compounding effect of interest. Time never stops or slows down, EVER! It simply remains constantly changing. I like looking at it in terms of compound interest, being business minded it is motivating to me. Try this think of the way you save money or would like to save money. Being that you know that time is going on and on never stopping and you also know that every minute you money is in the bank it is gaining interest, however small it may be that, that is just a little more proof of change is a constant.

Change is all there is.
