A few years ago, the world was astonished with the promises inside “The Secret,” a book and movie about using the Law of Attraction to change your life. Today, millions of people are beginning to wonder if “The Secret” was just hype. Why? Because they tried what it told them to do and they did not see the results they hoped for. In short, after diligent application of the Law of Attraction, their lives did not turn out to be better than they were.
The publishing of “The Secret” book and movie coincided with the arrival of “The Great Recession”, so it’s easy to see how people could blame their failures on that but WAIT!!! Didn’t “The Secret” say that all you needed to do was to harness the power of your thoughts to create anything you desire? So, was “The Secret” just hype? NO!!! It was just incomplete.
You see, “The Secret” was based on “The Law of Attraction” but it left out the other eleven companion laws that go with it and make it work. Taken together, all 12 laws are what make the magic happen.
The power of the mind to create is enormous. In the Bible, it says that God created man “in His image” and if God is the Creator then it follows that man is also endowed with the power to create. In short, we were all born with the power to create but few of us have mastered the creation process. That is all about to change.
What are the other eleven laws?
Working with the Law
We have all heard about Norman Vincent Peale’s famous book called “The Power of Positive Thinking.” If we are to practice positive thinking as a way to change our lives, then it follows that we must simultaneously train ourselves to guard against negative thoughts.
The Law of Thinking
The mind is very powerful: Its thoughts can create and they can destroy. We need to overcome our programmed propensity to think negatively because this is the key to a successful life.
Why does the untrained mind naturally tend to think in negative terms? It has previously been trained negatively by our parents, the media and other people who we allow to put negative thoughts in our head like “With my luck, it will probably rain and ruin the party!” This, instead of expecting sunshine.
The Law of Supply
The Law of Supply, also known is the Law of Abundance, says that, in fact, there is always more than enough for everyone. It is our programmed disbelief of the Law of Supply that keeps us from unlocking the door to the treasure house that awaits us.
The Law of Attraction
When you are “down and out”, it may be hard to think of giving to others and yet, you know the truth of “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” It is giving that opens up the path for receiving.
The Law of Increase
Where you place your attention or praise causes that particular good to grow. Learn to give thanks for what you have and resist the urge to complain about what you think you lack.
The Law of Compensation
Change your self-image to that of a wealth-attractor and project that and only that. Look for, expect, notice and capitalize on all opportunities.
The Law of Non-resistance
Learn to eliminate the stress that stops you. Worrying about something never makes it go away. Instead of worrying, look for what guides you. Learn to love everyone, even those who hurt you. Become a master of your surroundings.
The Law of Forgiveness
Become an endless source of forgiveness. Learn how to deal with anger so that it can’t stop you. Learn what true forgiveness really is. Exorcise demons from your past that have taken up residence in your mind while controlling your thoughts.
The Law of Sacrifice
Learn to welcome discomfort and use it as a tool for positive change. Grow or die: Remove stagnation from your thinking process.
The Law of Obedience
Accept what is. Follow the Natural order of things. Don’t try to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Welcome your problems as teachers and NEVER panic.
The Law of Success
Learn to “own” life and refuse to let it “own” you. Conquer the fear of failure by keeping your eye on the prize. Learn to profit from so-called “bad news.”
The twelve laws, taken together as a whole, will teach you so that life can then show you that your destiny is boundlessly perfect as you intend it to be. There is simply NO OTHER WAY to change your life for the better.
