-Whatever you resist persists. -90% of people violate this law. -Resisting what you don’t want is actually creating more of what you don’t want. -Resistance is a sign that you’re moving in the right direction. -Respond instead of react. Reacting is a habit. With responding, you think before you act.
Whatever you resist persists. The Law of Nonresistance is a law that most of the world violates and must understand. I personally call it the law of Ignoring. I’d say about 90% of people violate this law.At the same time though, it’s not really our fault. Most of us were programmed to resist. It’s hard-wired into our brains. People resist whenever they see or hear something that they don’t want. What they don’t know is that resisting what they don’t want is actually creating more of what they don’t want. Whatever you put energy into grows over time. Resistance is a form of energy and it’s probably the reason most people end up where they don’t want to be.
Arguing is something that many of us do. It is a very strong form of resistance and it uses up a tremendous amount of energy. A wise thing to do in an argument is to respond. People have a tendency to react in an argument. The difference is reacting is a habit. Responding requires time to think before you continue.When Michelangelo had finished sculpting David, he was met with resistance. Piero Soderini, Florence’s mayor at the time, had told Michelangelo that the statue’s nose was too big. Michelangelo did not argue. Michelangelo invited the mayor to climb a scaffolding, allowing him to look at the nose from a different point of view, while the artist chiseled a bit, acting like he was correcting the size of the nose. The mayor was convinced the nose looked much better. Michelangelo succeeded in making Soderini think his comment had helped improve the work. He won by responding through actions rather than words.This way, nobody lost and a point was proven in an effective and nonresistant way.
Resisting is a bad habit that we need to stop; however, it can help you to better understand how you respond to challenges. Challenges are something that we are very resistant to. Instead of resisting a challenge, we should learn to welcome it. Ironically, resistance is a sign that you’re moving in the right direction. When people see you’re moving ahead in life and thinking outside of the box, they can be fearful of change and throw a lot of resistance at you. However, it is your job to make sure that you don’t resist the resistance. As the saying goes,“Whatever you resist, persists.”When your met with resistance, just let it go. Ignore it, because when you ignore it you don’t put any energy into it. What you put energy into grows over time. Learn to go with the flow of things and accept it. It’s important to stay flexible in life. Amazingly, it’s when you’re not met with resistance that you’re not on the right track.
There are many resistant groups in the world today. There are groups like antiabortion, antiwar, anti-politician, etc. The thing is, these “anti” groups are making what they’re against more powerful. Antiabortion creates more abortion. Antiwar creates more war. Being against a politician makes that politician stronger. The more energy you put into something you dislike or hate, the stronger and more difficult it will be to remove it from your life. It would be much wiser to be pro-peace and pro-life. This way those groups would be more likely to get what they want instead of what they don’t want. But you don’t have to vote for a politician you don’t like. Just don’t waste your time directing negative energy towards him/her.
I remember when I used to play high school football, My team and I used to have to do some devestating drills, like up-downs, until the coach said the team was done; or we’d have to do sprinting drills until the entire team couldn’t run anymore. I was very resistant to the drills. I would say to myself that I was tired, I hated them, and I couldn’t wait until they were over. Well one day, I decided that it didn’t do much good to complain to myself about it. Then I just said to myself to go with the flow. To put it into a metaphor, I was in a river swimming against the current. The moment I turned around and went with the flow of the river, my attitude and results dramatically improved.I was more focused and I didn’t tire as easily. The coaches were pleased and took a liking to this adjustment.
Remember, whenever you’re met with resistance, just go with the flow. You’ll be in harmony with yourself. Life gives us gifts wrapped in problems. The bigger the problem, the bigger the gift.
-What are you going to sacrifice? -The Law of Sacrifice really is giving up something good to receive something better. -The biggest key to this law is discipline. -Something always has to be sacrificed in order to get something else.
-“You cannot enjoy the satisfactions and pleasure of true friendship and indulge in a bad temper.”
When you hear the word sacrifice, people think it means giving up something that they really value for something that they don’t value. I’ve pulled up the word sacrifice from my macbook dictionary and it says“An act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy.” The first one that came up was “An act of slaughtering an animal or person or surrendering a possession as an offering to God or to a divine or supernatural figure.” Unfortunately, if you thought that’s what I was talking about, you’re on the wrong page. My apologies to the people that worship satan. But The Law of Sacrifice really is giving up something good to receive something better.This law is probably the most misunderstood law of all.
The biggest key to this law is discipline. Sacrifice requires a disciplined state of mind. Without discipline, sacrifice is useless. People hear the word sacrifice, and it scares them to death. There’s absolutely no reason for you to get scared of this.If sacrifice means that something is being traded in for something better, you should be thrilled.It’s just a lack of knowledge and understanding that makes people fearful. The worst aspect of this fear is that it spoils the whole outlook on sacrifice. Then again, most of us are programmed to think that sacrifice is bad. We couldn’t be more wrong--that is, unless we’re talking about slaughtering animals for a black mass. What people have to understand is,something always has to be sacrificed in order to get something else.
This law and The Law of Receiving are pretty similar. In both laws, you have to give up something in order to receive.Something for nothing does not exist in either of these laws. The Law of Sacrifice is giving up something good to receive something better. In the Law of Sacrifice, there is no such thing as holding onto something good and receiving something better. So if you want to get in shape, you have to sacrifice the couch for going to the gym to workout. You can’t get in shape by sitting on the couch. If you want to be healthier, you have to sacrifice junk food for healthy food. You can’t eat junk food all the time and be healthy. If you want to get a promotion at work, you have to sacrifice happy hour for putting more time at your workplace. If you want to be a better person, you have to sacrifice your ego for your higher-self.
A great example of The Law of Sacrifice being used in action was when Brett Favre, legendary Quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, chose to retire and then wanted to come back. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay’s current Quarterback, was Favre’s back-up for three years. He was given the starting QB position when Favre decided to retire. Then Favre wanted to come back. Packers coach Mike McCarthy had to make a choice of who he wanted to have as his starting QB. Brett Favre, who is a veteran and who had been with Green Bay for 17 seasons, or Aaron Rodgers who had been Favre’s back up for 3 years. That’s when the decision was made to start Aaron Rodgers. As a result Favre went to the Jets first, and then ended up with rival Minnesota Vikings in 2009. The Vikings swept the Packers, but lost NFC Championship game to the Saints. In 2010, the Packers swept the Vikings and won Super Bowl XLV in Chatsworth, TX. The Packers’ sacrifice of Brett Favre was one of the biggest sacrifices the team ever had to make; but it helped them earn their 4th Super Bowl.
When using The Law of Sacrifice, you have to make sure you’re making worthy sacrifices. You don’t want to sacrifice something good for something bad. Raymond Holliwell has a great example on his chapter on sacrifice.“You cannot enjoy the satisfactions and pleasure of true friendship and indulge in a bad temper.” I’ve been on both sides of this, and I can assure you, you really can’t. All friends are going to have bad sides. You have to realize that those personality flaws have nothing to do with you. It’s not worth focusing your attention on it. Sacrifice paying attention to your friend’s bad side and focus on the good in them instead.
So if you want to become the very best at something in life, it all starts with sacrifice and a disciplined state of mind. Raymond Holliwell again says it best.“An undisciplined life is an insane life.”
-The universe offers us an infinite source of Supply. -All of the energy and knowledge that you want is 100% present right now where you are. -Human beings were meant to be dissatisfied. -We have infinite potential meaning we can be as great as we want to be. We can even be better than great. -There is no lack in the universe. There is only abundance.
How would you feel, if you woke up this morning to find out that you’re worth $13.5 billion dollars? Mark Zuckerberg, founder of facebook, is currently worth this much today. What if you found out that you had an IQ of 210? Kim Ung-yong, the world’s smartest man, has this IQ. What if you found out that you’re the world’s greatest thinker of today? All of this sounds great doesn’t it? The thing is, $13.5 billion and an IQ of 210, is very small when comparing to what the universe has to offer. What does the universe have to offer us? An infinite source of Supply.
Did you know that all of the energy and knowledge that you want is 100% present right now where you are? It doesn’t matter where you are. You could be on Mt. Everest or on a beach in Hawaii. Your source of supply is present everywhere. The Law of Conservation of energy states that “Nothing can be neither created or destroyed.” In Raymond Holliwell’s book Working With the Law, he states that “Man is never satisfied. But, God did not attend that man should be forever satisfied. The Law of his being is perpetual increase, progress, and growth. So when one good is realized, another desire for a greater good will develop, and when a higher state is reached, another and more glorious state will unfold his vision and urge him on and on.”
Did you know that human beings were meant to be dissatisfied? It’s true. It’s because of dissatisfaction that keeps us going in life. If there was a destination in life and we reached that destination, we probably wouldn’t live for much longer. We have the internet. We have new brands of cars coming in every year. We can talk to somebody 5,000 miles away, face to face on a computer. We have bigger and better things coming into our world everyday.
Notice how when people have a goal in mind, other people try to discourage them from attaining it. Let’s say an NFL football team just won the Super Bowl. It’s the biggest prize in the NFL. People would say things like “Well they’ve won it all. What’s left for them?” Well, why not win another Super Bowl? I believe the reason why wide receiver Plaxico Burress shot himself was because he didn’t think there was anything left to play for in the NFL. What he didn’t realize was that the universe has an infinite source of supply, meaning he could’ve set a higher goal for himself to win another super bowl.
There are many people out there that are ignorant to this. Since they are, either they don’t do much for themselves or they reach a goal, and then they stop. Why? The universe has so much to offer us. We have infinite potential meaning we can be as great as we want to be. We can even be better than great. Joe Montana, former Quarterback of the 49ers, has four super bowl rings. Kobe Bryant has won 5 NBA championships. Just think of your favorite athlete or actor and think of how good they are. They are an example that you can be as good as you want to be.
What we have to understand is that there is no lack in the universe. There is only abundance. There is more than enough for everybody. The only reason for lack existing is because people entertain lack thoughts. What you put time and energy into grows over time. There is no such thing as fear, just a lack of confidence. There is no such thing as poverty, just a lack of wealth. There is no such thing as hatred, just a lack of love. If you have a low bank account, and your focused intensely on the “lack” that you have, it’s going to stay like that. You must believe that you will have more money, so that more money can come to you. Choose to entertain thoughts of Prosperity and abundance, be patient, and it will come to you.
Let’s say you go to the market to buy coca-cola. You arrive and you find out that the market is out of coke. What happens? The stocker comes out with more coke, and re-stocks the empty shelves. What if the market is completely out of coca-cola? Then a delivery truck comes by the market to drop off more coke. Notice how this is a continuous process. This process has been happening for over 125 years now and coca cola is still in existence as of today. So the next time thoughts of “lack” are coming into your head, just think about a market and how when they run out of something, it gets re-stocked. This goes for everything. Now you never have to worry about not having enough in your life.
The beauty of this law is that we don’t all want the same things. Not everyone wants to drive a Ferrari, wants to be an actor, wants the same love interests, wants to eat the same foods, etc. Everyone has different tastes in all areas of life. Now you know about the Law of Supply. Use it to your advantage.
-You can improve anything in your life through giving it praise. -Be grateful for what you already have. -When you’re grateful, you raise your rate of vibration and personal magnetism. -What you put praise into grows over time. The more you praise the things you already have, the more you’re going to receive. -Greater good is guaranteed to come to you if you go down this path with persistence.
