In the Silent Laws Of Accomplishment we
explored how to deal with people, the importance of following rules and digging
deep within to release the inner person. We also touched on five natural laws;
control, observance, value, integrity, and development which if implemented
into your life would not only propel you toward success but would give you a
whole new understanding and vision of yourself.
Usually
when a person seeks success they concentrate on strategy, planning, and
product marketing. But as we have learned success does not necessarily mean
monetary gain it could also include culture or arts. Reaching a meaningful
predetermined personal goal is more likely the definition of success. In this
series we will apply new rules as we focus on the inner person and the
importance of wholeness in relationship to total success.
Do new rules
apply?
The same rules that were applicable for our
forefathers are just as powerful today. You must regain your God given powers
and lift your head in the comfort in knowing you are indeed Born To Succeed. You
must look into your future and visualize the results of your labor. You must
see yourself as you are, your true nature, your potential and relationship with
your surroundings. Become emerged in your true self and activate the dominate
powers that have been waiting for you to bring them into your experience.
Facing the
challenge of self recognition
Again we will challenge the inner you; the
you that has gone too long without the respect you deserve. Here are five more
laws that if put into practice, will most assuredly change your life. Pay
attention!
1. The law of Adaptability
There are many people who simply can’t adapt to changing conditions.
When new innovations are introduced they turn their heads in rejection. People
who require supervision to perform basic abilities rarely further their career.
You must adapt to your changing environment. You must embrace change in
order to fit in and become a leader and Inspiration to those around you. Lets
face it, every situation in life requires you to adapt in some form or manner.
Family, church, workplace, society, club all require you to adapt to the
current conditions. I don’t mean give in, or cave in, but consider the options
and adjust to the presented opportunity. Fit in, take part
in your surroundings, be active as a team player.
2. The law of Statistics
If you are not observant, there’s a good chance you will become a statistic.
Short sighted people who can’t see the potential in their situation, quickly become
a statistic. You’ve seen them, they are the ones that shuffle in the front door
three minutes late and run out the back exactly at quitting time. Their conduct
illustrates an image of bad attitude and lack of conformity which will doom
them into joining the another has-beens on the roles of failure. Rejection and
a life of hopelessness awaits those who never get involved.
3. The law of recognition
Everyone wants to be recognized for their accomplishments and as an
individual. Do something so people will remember you. Don’t be outlandish or
abusive, reach out to people in a kind and comforting way. If it’s your doctor,
boss or anyone you want to be remembered by, greet them with warmth and caring.
If appropriate, give them a personal gift. Something special you made, just for
them. Every time they see that special gift, they will remember you and when
you come into their presence, they will remember who you are. You have
developed a closeness, a relationship beyond the traditional boundaries. I make canes, and I make a unique cane
especially to give to those who I want to be remembered by. They appreciate the
gesture and they remember me the next time I see them. They open up, to a
deeper connection and more meaningful relationship.
4. The law of Manipulation
Many people go through life manipulating others for personal gain.
Manipulation is a deceptive act and as such is destructive in nature. People
manipulate each other without realizing it. It’s a form of getting one’s own
way. Coming out on top, so to speak. A child sulks, a spouse gives the silent
treatment, a boss threatens, all are ways to control a particular situation.
Girls manipulate boys because they know they can. Boys manipulate girls for
dominance. Husbands manipulate wives because they need to be the leader. Wives
manipulate husbands because they need position. Everyone is manipulating
someone to sustain their own uniqueness. Don’t fall into this trap. Manipulation
is not a trait of a winner.
5.
The force of Character
Who are you? What lies at the heart of your existence? How are you
portraying yourself to others? Are you a joy to be around or do people shun
you? Character is the outward expression of an inward life force. The natural
thing to do is mirror Godlike qualities in your mannerisms but, we do not live
in a natural environment. Our environment is contaminated and we are also.
Unfortunately our character is derived from a world point of view. You must be radiant, caring and outward in
your involvement with others.
Wealth is only a mindset
It’s not about wealth or fame, but rather it’s about you and who you
are. You are at the center of this series of articles. We could go into the
mechanics of success but it would do no good without you as a receptor. Perhaps
you are already a super good person, and if you are I commend you for it.
Unfortunately most people are motivated by outside stimuli and they wither and
rot inside. They can’t understand why they aren’t happy. Why they are
continually faced with problems with family and
relationships. Fix your eyes on your inner self and approach life like
today is your last day. What are you going to do to hold close each precious
moment, each relationship, each experience?
It’s the little things that matter
Treasure the taste of fudge or the glimmer of the sun on water or the
many other things that make life worth living. When you see your child take
his/her first step or feel the warmth of your spouse next to you when you roll over in
the bed, embrace these moments because they are what it is all about.
Happy Trails
