Law of Success

You were meant to succeed! In fact, everyone was meant to be great. Raymond Holliwell says so in his chapter on The Law of Success. “God intended every individual to succeed. It is God’s purpose that man should become great.” This is huge. Just imagine what the world would be like if everyone was aware of this. There would be a great feeling of hope and optimism creating a mass effect all around the world. People would be more likely to focus on their future and set themselves up for their own success rather than their failures. 

Holliwell also mentions that “Nature knows no failures. Nature never plans for anything but success.” That means that whatever is happening right now (that is, if you have chosen a path with a definite purpose) you are on the road to your success. While on your way to success, you’re probably going to go through a tough transition at the same time. People who are on their way to success often have others try to pull them back down to their standard of living. They want them to succeed, yet they don’t want them to leave. But this is where all of the laws come into play. If you have been obedient to all of the laws, then you have nothing to worry about. 

The Law of Success basically says if you choose to follow all of the laws, the outcome will be your success. A guaranteed way to attract success using these laws is through persistence in practicing them and studying them. The most successful people of the past and in the present never stop studying the things about which they are most passionate. They’re locked into it. Bob Proctor of “The Secret” has been studying these laws for over 50 years now. He studies them every day. One of the most effective and optimistic affirmations in the world are the words “I can.” That’s what successful people say to themselves on a daily basis. I think you can guess what unsuccessful people say to themselves.

Don’t let the current state of your life dictate your future. Don’t let your low bank account tell you how much money you’re going to have in the future. Don’t let unpopularity tell you that you’ll never have any friends. Don’t let an unhealthy body tell you you’ll be unhealthy the rest of your life. Don’t let a poor report card tell you that you’re not smart. As Tony Robbins says “The past does not equal the future.” The past is who you were. It’s not who you are now. Take responsibility for everything that has happened to you, even if it wasn’t your fault, and forgive yourself. Now you know better and are more aware of what’s going on in your life. This is the first step towards your self-growth and success. Live in harmony with these laws, and you will attract success in your life. 

Remember that it all starts with the way you think. Thinking is the most powerful thing all humans are capable of. Remember that there is an infinite source of supply. There is no limitation. Remember that you become what you think about most. Remember that you must give before you can get. Remember to be grateful for whatever you’ve got, so you can attract more and better things into your life. Remember that whatever effort you put into something, you’re going to receive back tenfold. Remember not to react, but to respond. Remember to forgive yourself and others. Remember that you have to give up something good to get something better. And remember most of all to be obedient to the laws, for they are your key to attaining the personal success you desire. Here is an ancient piece of advice by Socrates that most people don’t follow: “Know thyself.” It is basic and is the greatest single thing you need to attract the success you want in your life.
