Building Success Habits

“Thoughts become things. If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand.” – Bob Proctor The actions we take now are creating a future effect on our life. The beautiful thing about this law is that it emphasizes the amount of control we can assume over our lives—the ability to recreate our reality. What we sow, we shall reap. To make significant changes in our life, think through what actions we could take to set ourselves up for success. What does significant change look like and what steps could help you get there? The Law of Cause and Effect requires that we take ownership over our lives—the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of it. Thankfully, we have the power to create more of the good. Who you are is a cause and the life you have is the effect. The causes we initiate, impact what we will get in return. If we put out more abundant causes into the world (joy, appreciation, love, generosity), that is what we will receive in return. Who you are internally determines the cause and the effect is your compensation. To create more success, create a catalyst for success. If you're in sales, that means picking up the phone or opening your email to reach out to prospects. If you're an aspiring author, that means making time to write. Create the catalyst for change in your life. If you want to become a successful business person, ask yourself how you can incorporate some good habits into your current lifestyle to make you feel more like this successful business person. Find ways to create positive change in your life, whatever that means to you, so you can feel deserving of the positive effects. Our current life is a representation of how we view ourselves and the decisions we have made up to this point. Our habits are the cause and your current, present reality is the effect. You are in control; you are the catalyst. The thoughts, emotions, and behaviors you're experiencing are creating an effect. Your current identity is what you’re manifesting. Who you are is the cause of your life. You have the ability to choose differently at any moment. The laws just, are. There is no "right" or "wrong", "fair" or "unfair". You're simply creating and the life you have is a representation of this creation. At the core of all of these laws, is your expectation, your beliefs about yourself.

“You are the only problem you will ever have and you are the only solution.” – Bob Proctor Our expectation helps shape our reality, regardless of whether intentions are "good" or "bad". The Universe is neutral to the idea of “good” or “bad”. What matters is the intent behind our actions. It's about how WE perceive our own actions. If we believe our actions are good, that is what we get. If we believe our actions are bad, that is what we get in return. This is why seemingly "bad" people can accumulate wealth. They usually do not perceive themselves as "bad", they perceive themselves as abundant, lucky, in control, and wealthy, so that is what they get. The Universe is neutral and simply responds to the energy we put out. It’s easier to have confidence in what we are manifesting when we believe it will happen and expect it to happen. It can be much harder for the average person to garner the same sense of self-confidence in their own abundance and worthiness which translates to success in their lives. This has nothing to do with “fairness”. This is the Universe's response to our “cause”, your beliefs. We are causative beings. The Universe doesn't mark people as deserving or not deserving, it just responds to how we feel about ourselves. Make sure you leave some thoughts in the comment section below.

“The only limits in our life are those we impose on ourselves.”- Bob Proctor All actions have a reaction, whether good or bad. Cause is the reason or action that produces results. Effect is the result of an action or cause. You can't have one without the other. To experience the benefits of this law, we must align our thoughts to influence our actions. Aligning ourselves with positive thoughts will set us up for a successful outcome. If we put in the work, the results will reflect our actions. If we want to be a New York bestselling author, we must put in the work. What we think and do becomes our reality. Ralph Waldo Emerson called the Law of Cause and Effect, “the Law of Laws.” This law decrees that whatever we send into the Universe comes back. Action and re-action are equal and opposite. Everything in the entire universe happens according to law—there is no such thing as chance. Every effect must have a cause; and in turn, that cause must have an effect. Thus, we have the perpetual, never-ending cycle of cause and effect. Make sure you leave some thoughts in the comment section below. We are interested in continuing the conversation.

The Energy of Business - The Law of Cause and Effect Ralph Waldo Emerson called the Law of Cause and Effect, “the Law of Laws.” This law decrees that whatever we send into the Universe comes back. Action and re-action are equal and opposite. “What goes around comes around.” “People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.” The Law of Cause and Effect basically says that what you put out comes back to either haunt you or help you. This law combines with the Law of Multiplication to dramatically impact our success. What we put out gets multiplied at least tenfold. Whatever we put out into the world,you get back multiplied. S11 E13 The Energy of Business - Make The Law of Cause & Effect Work For You |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz ''Every cause has an effect and every effect has a cause. Action set up a reaction, and the action/reaction determines what you attract.'' - Bob Proctor. The law of cause and effect shows us that every effect in life has a cause. The law of cause and effect teaches us that we are in control of our outcomes. We are in control of our outcomes because our thoughts influence our reality and how we choose to perceive it. Whatever we put out shapes our life and gives us our results. If we put out negativity, we get negativity in return. The same is true if we put out positivity. Every single thing we do causes an effect. Our actions are creating causes that show up as our reality. Actions lead to results and for every action, there is a reaction. This law is demonstrated beautifully by the Butterfly Effect in chaos theory. This is the idea that the flap of a butterfly’s wings could have universal ramifications on the reality experienced millions of years later via the chain of events this sets off. If ANY cause was changed in the past, we could be living in a VERY different reality. In other words, we live in a highly complex system where pure chance cannot exist.

“When you react, you are giving away your power. When you respond, you are staying in control of yourself.”--Bob Proctor So, how do you get started with the Law of Attraction? First it is important to know that you are already using the Law of Attraction just like you are using the Law of Gravity! The Law of Attraction is always reacting to you, to whatever you are thinking and doing. Where you are today is a direct result of your past thoughts, your goals, your choices, and your decisions. The Law of Attraction is always working. So how do you start using it for things you actually want? Acting ‘as if' is a way to help manifest something into our lives by acting as if we already have it. When you're seeking something you don't yet have, it is easy to get caught in a vicious circle of scarcity and lack. If you end up focusing on your lack of money, lack of love, lack of X, you only reinforce the fact you don't have it. Acting ‘as if' is as simple as feeling as if you have achieved something. Or feeling the emotions you'd feel if you had someone or something. You can use creative visualization to build that picture in your mind first. Then begin to act as if you already have it all. You can also use positive affirmations to back up your intentions to help you act ‘as if' you have what you desire. This also overlaps with, and compliments the Law of Assumption. Surrender and Accept. Surrendering to what is, after you've completed every other exercise is essential. After you have decided what you want to manifest, or what you want your life to look like then let everything else go. It can be difficult to do, but we need to surrender to the process and trust the process. Do not focus on what is wrong about the present or what can not be undone from the past. Only focus your energy on acceptance of the past and surrender to the future.

“See yourself living in abundance and you will attract it. It always works, it works every time with every person. – Bob Proctor Law #1: Like Attracts Like The Law of Attraction in its most simple form is “like attracts like.” This means that things, objects, or people with similar energy attract each other. This happens every moment of every day whether you are aware of it or not. We see this energy shifting occuring when we attract similar experiences, people or things. Positive thought and emotion will attract positive things or experiences. The reverse is also true. Negative thoughts, and emotions, will attract negative things or experiences into our life. We tend to gravitate to things, people, or situations that have the same energy as us. Whether positive or negative in nature, this will only magnify the vibration we feel. It's important to remember that thoughts become things. The thoughts we have and the choices we make reflect back into our world and become our reality. We attract what we think about so it is best to go about this with clear intention. Be careful of your thoughts and what you are thinking and feeling. Surround yourself with the kind of people that make you feel great, that you want to grow with, or become more like. Law #2: Nature Abhors a Vacuum According to the ancient philosopher Aristotle, “Nature abhors a vacuum.” He observed that nature requires all space to fill with something. Even if that something is colorless, odorless air. It is impossible to have empty space in our mind or life. Empty space will fill with whatever you attract, whether you like it or not. Remove what you don't want in your life and make room for positive things to replace them. The best way to think of this is to remember how good it feels to tidy a desk, a cupboard or a room. You remove the clutter. You throw out or recycle what you don't need. After cleaning you replace everything with new, clean, tidy things. Your mind becomes clear. Your mood is brighter and you feel positive. Law #3: The Present is Always Perfect Whatever is happening in the present is a direct result of our past choices and decisions. Surrender to what is. The past is the past and you have infinite possibilities in the future, so accept what is in the present. It may seem imperfect and you may feel unhappy but you should focus your mind on being positive. Enjoy the present for the perfect moment that it is.

“Science and psychology have isolated the one prime cause for success or failure in life. It is the hidden self-image you have of yourself.” – Bob Proctor The Law of Attraction is always working, every single second of every day. It is reacting to how you act, all the time. It works whether you are acting in a positive or negative way. If you know and believe that you deserve good things you will act a certain way. You will set great goals and make plans and without thinking, you will put yourself in situations that lead to exactly where you need to be. Some of these things might seem like “lucky breaks” but they aren't. The Law of Attraction is giving you exactly what you think you deserve. If you have limiting beliefs and think that you don't deserve something, this will reflect in your behaviors. You'll act in a way that won't put you in situations that will result in anything positive. You'll use negative language or have a negative attitude. You won't notice perfect timing. You won't end up in the right place at the right time. The Law of Attraction is giving you exactly what you think you deserve. You get less of what you want, because you know you don't deserve it and are acting exactly in this way. The Law of Attraction works in a similar way to what Maxwell Maltz calls the ‘servo-mechanism” in his book Psycho Cybernetics. Make sure you leave some thoughts in the comment section below.

“The only limits in our life are those we impose on ourselves.” – Bob Proctor When we understand the possibilities that life has to offer, we realize we are the creators of our lives and the rulers of our destiny. We always create all of our results in our mind first. Then, through the choices we make and the actions we take, we begin to see the world around us change. This works both in the positive and negative. If we don’t like what we are currently seeing in our lives, we can always change it! Life is a blank canvas of possibility; you are in control of what the finished picture could look like. The Law of Attraction is simple, precise and always accurate. All laws of nature are completely perfect and the Law of Attraction is no exception. No matter what you are looking to have or achieve or be in life, if you can hold onto an idea and see it for yourself in your mind’s eye, you can make it yours to have… with a little effort, action and emotion on your part. Create a burning desire, and hold that image long enough and it can’t help but become reality. Make sure you leave some thoughts in the comment section below.

“That’s why people that are doing what they love never have to work again. They spend their whole life in a wonderful vibration.” — Bob Proctor If you want to know whether you are working with or against the Law of Vibration, just take a good look at your life right now. Are you accomplishing your goals and living a fulfilling life? Or are you scraping to get by and are always feeling negative? Time and hard work alone are not enough to reach our goals. If we do not change our vibration, we will never realize our dreams and manifest our goals. This is why we often experience the “things are not moving in our way” moments. When our energy vibration is not in alignment with what we desire in our life, things will seem to go against us regardless of what we do. We can put in extra hours to work on our dreams, work harder, find ways, learn better strategy, hire more talented people to our company, get better business partners, etc., but if our vibration does not change, we will eventually suffer the same outcomes, which is a business failure. This is why an entrepreneur can fail at a business and when they start another business, they will experience the same failure. And when they finally “get it”, they change their vibration in harmony with their goals, they will finally manifest the success results they want. Are you working hard on your goals and are trying your best to manifest your dreams, but you fail to realize them no matter how hard you try? If this is happening to you, you need to change your vibration. You need to create vibrations (thoughts and feelings) that are in harmony with what you want. When our vibration is in alignment with what we say we want, things will come to us automatically, without much effort.

“Vibration is essential to understand but only one person, maybe ten has any grasp of it at all.” – Bob Proctor If we want to raise and improve our vibration, start paying attention to how you feel at each moment. There is no point in saying that you want to be rich, but if you do not feel it, you will never attract it. This is the main reason most people fail to make the Law of Attraction work because they fail with the basic Law of Vibration. When you are feeling down, emotional and negative, do something to raise your vibration. Try one or more of the following to raise your vibration: Write down the things that you are grateful for and feel the appreciation. When you feel thankful and grateful for what you have, you will operate from a higher level of vibration. Listen to music you love and that will inspire you and watch how you start to feel inspired and you want to take action. This is because the music frequency will raise the vibration in your body too. Take a walk in nature. Let the energy and vibration of the trees, the wind, the soil and nature make you feel pleasant. Send your love to people who are bothering you. It is always our feelings and emotions that control our vibration. It is our vibration that we send out to the Universe, not our thoughts. Our thoughts alone are not enough in helping us attract the things we want. Merely thinking about what we want is not enough. We also need to feel it.

“Attraction is a law but it’s the secondary law, the primary law is the law of vibration. The law of vibration is one of the basic laws of the universe. It decrees that everything moves, nothing rests, we literally live in an ocean of motion.” – Bob Proctor Your Thoughts and Emotions are Energies in Vibration. Our thoughts are energies in vibration too. The Law of Attraction, which is based on the Law of Vibration, states that we attract what we are sending out to the universe. When we think a certain thought, our brain’s cells or neurons will vibrate at a certain frequency and this high-speed energy will attract whatever you send out through your thoughts. When you understand that your thoughts and emotions are energy vibration (Law of Vibration), and you know that “like attracts like” (Law of Attraction), you will appreciate that you can now start to alter and transform your life just by altering your thoughts and emotions, which will ultimately alter the energy vibration within you. When you think, you activate your brain cells, and you set up a vibration in your body. We are constantly changing our vibrations as we think throughout the day. The vibration you are in will dictate what you attract into your life. If you are constantly worried and troubled, you will attract a lot of bad energy. And what you fear will come to you. This is why it is often said, “You will become what you think about most of the time.” Perhaps, the best scientific way to explain how the Law of Vibration works is through the use of a tuning fork. A tuning fork can serve as a useful illustration of how a vibrating object can produce sound. When you get two tuning forks with the same frequency and hit one with a rubber hammer, it will vibrate and transmit sound waves to its surroundings, which causes the second tuning fork to vibrate and produce the same sound waves. This is also known as a resonance. When you think a certain thought or feel a certain emotion, you are transmitting energy through vibration to your surroundings, and other things, people, and experiences that are vibrating in the same frequency will be attracted to you. This is the same as resonance. Make sure you leave some thoughts in the comment section below. We are interested in continuing the conversation.

“Vibration is essential to understand but only one person, maybe ten, has any grasp of it at all.” – Bob Proctor Nothing rests, everything moves. This Universal Law states that everything in the Universe moves and vibrates - everything is vibrating at one speed or another. Nothing rests. Everything you see around you is vibrating at one frequency or another and so are you. Your frequency is different from other things in the universe, so it seems like you are separated from what you see around you - people, animals, plants, trees and so on. BUT you are not separated - you are in fact living in an ocean of energy - we all are. We are all connected at the lowest level. Everything has its own vibrational frequency - the table - the car - the picture frame - the rock - even our thoughts and feelings. It is all governed by The Law of Vibration.

“Every problem emerges from the false belief we are separate from one another, and every answer emerges from the realization we are not.” - Marianne Williamson We are all parts of the same whole, pieces of the same puzzle, made of the same substance.

This continuity of creation is also our connection to one another. As above, so below.

“Perception precedes reality." - Andy Warhol Merriam Webster’s definition of reality says “The world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.” Merriam Webster’s definition of perception says “The state of being or process of becoming aware of something through the senses.” As humans, everything we ‘know,’ perceive, and experience is perception. With our consciousness, we can only ‘know’ what we experience and perceive. We attempt to know what we conceptualize and we create what we imagine” — Consciousness Liberty When we collectively perceive experiences or measure them scientifically we call this reality. But it is not reality, it is collective perception. Collective perception is the experience of the collective (in this case humans) that we like to define as being close to the truth of “reality” or “as this actually exists.” As perceptive beings, we cannot “know” reality or absolute truth.

“Thoughts become things. If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand.” ― Bob Proctor Using this idea of interconnectedness, we can create ripple effects throughout our lives by focusing on how we feel and how we conduct ourselves in this life. In other words, to manifest the things you want, you have to trigger an avalanche of positive outcomes. How To Change Your Energy. You now know that everything is energy and that we have the power to transform reality by aligning our own energy with our intentions. The next question is: What are the best ways to harness that power? Before you can change the universe, energy needs to make sense to you. In other words, you need to have a grasp of the nature of energy and your reality before you can start to transform that reality. Find Your Inner Spiritual Energy. When we say that everything is energy, we also mean that you are a form of energy. Whether you think of the stuff you are made of as soul energy, spiritual energy, or something else, the point is that there is no real division between you and other entities (or even your environment). You are not constrained by space or time. Once you start to see this, it becomes obvious that you can influence your environment and shape your reality in accordance with your goals. To further tap into your spiritual energy and your sense of being beyond your body, try meditation exercises. Boost Your Vibrations With Positive Energy. When you are in a positive state of mind, you influence all energy around you in a positive way.

S10 E37 The Ruler Deep Dive |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz “We do not remember days, we remember moments.” – Cesare Pavese The hero’s journey is often seen as preparation for leadership. In modern life, we become the Ruler by taking complete responsibility for our own lives – not only for our inner reality, but also for the way our outer world mirrors our reality. When we have become too comfortable and stop growing, our world feels like a wasteland. We must allow new life and the budding new hero within us to take a new journey. The Ruler creates a peaceful and harmonious world by becoming peaceful and harmonious inside. There are five levels of the Ruler: Shadow - Controlling, rigid, tyrannical and manipulative behaviors; the ogre tyrant Call - Lack of resources, harmony, support, or order in our life Spiral One - Taking responsibility for the state of your life; seeking healing wounds or areas of powerlessness that are reflected in scarcity in your outer life; concerned primarily with your own life or your own family Spiral Two - Developing skills and creating structures for manifesting your own dreams in the real world as it is; concerned with the good of whatever group or community you belong to Spiral Three - Fully utilizing all resources – internal as well as external; concerned with the good of society or the planet Imagine that you are literally the King or Queen of your realm (your life). Let yourself imagine that you can change virtually anything you want, since you are totally in charge. There is, of course, a political process to consider; you may need to convince your “subjects” of the wisdom of your dictates, but begin simply by thinking of what you would like to decree. Start with your domain – your home, your private life, the part of your work life that is within your control. Then imagine yourself writing the new laws, or writing a speech explaining the new policies to your “subjects” and negotiating with the Rulers of nearby kingdoms to gain their cooperation.

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”-- Confucius You choose and will choose everything that happens to you for your own growth and development. Doing so restores dignity and adventure to life and transforms even the most seemingly negative circumstances into opportunities for growth. Acting on the belief that we choose our own realities – and that we do so for good, trustworthy reasons – empowers us because it renames our experience in a way that allows us to receive its gift, whatever that gift might be. There are many books of affirmations that suggest substituting positive phrases for negative ones in our internal and external dialogue. All of them tell us that our words program our unconscious and that our unconscious affects our actions – conscious and unconscious. We can enter “the other world” of our own internal dialogue and by changing that, change our outer life. There are five levels of the Magician: Shadow - Evil Sorcerer or wicked witch, synchronistic negative occurrences, calling negativity to oneself, or turning positive in negative occurrences Call - Physical or emotional illness, or extrasensory or synchronistic experiences Spiral One - Experiencing healing or choosing to notice extrasensory or synchronistic experiences Spiral Two - Grounding inspiration by acting on your visions and making them real; making your dreams come true Spiral Three - Consciously using the knowledge that everything is connected to everything else; developing mastery of the art of changing physical realities by first changing mental, emotional and spiritual ones Be aware of someone with whom you have difficulty. In your daydreams, contact your higher or deeper, wiser Self. Then in your imagination, talk to that person’s higher or deeper, wiser Self. Work the issue though on that level. When you return to your ordinary level of consciousness, simply observe whether there is any change in your relationship with that other person the next time you meet him or her. Begin listening to your internal conversation. If you note yourself making a negative comment about yourself, others, or events, stop and turn the statement into a positive one. For example, if you find yourself thinking, “I'll never attract the kind of person I want to love; I'm short, fat, and not bright,’ turn the statement into, “I'm attractive in mind and body, and I attract too many people equally as attractive, ”Allow yourself to feel the positive emotions that surround the second statement. If at first you are too skeptical to have good feelings about your positive statement, play around with it until you find a form that does make you feel good. For example, if you are not ready to see yourself as attractive yet, you might say, “I eat small amounts of healthy food and I study good books, so I am attracting love from people who also care about health and intelligence.“ Notice how changes in your thinking change your life.

“It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.” – Joseph Campbell Both Rulers and Magicians want to control reality and to change negative circumstances into positive ones. Sages have little or no need to control or change the world; they just want to understand it. The Sage’s path is the journey to find out the truth-about ourselves, our world, and the universe. In day-to-day matters, the most essential question for the sage is “What is the truth here?” The highest achievements of the Sage is freedom from attachment and illusion. To the degree that we are attached or even addicted to certain things, our judgment will be distorted because we are not free to see clearly. To the degree that we are attached to approval of others, to accomplishment, and any results at all, we are not free, and in the normal course of life, we will suffer. The only sure path to real freedom and joy is to turn over control of one's life to a more Transcendent and wiser power than oneself. There are five levels of the Sage: Shadow - Cut off, unfeeling, “ivory tower,” “above it all;” critical, judging, or pompous behaviors and attitudes Call - Confusion, doubt, deep desire to find the truth Spiral One - Search for “the Truth” and for objectivity Spiral Two - Skepticism, awareness of multiplicity and complexity of truth, all truth seen as relative; acceptance of subjectivity as part of the human condition Spiral Three - Experience of ultimate truth or truths; wisdom Imagine you are with a younger person who thinks you are very wise. Let yourself imagine how you meet this person and what makes this person look up to you. In fantasy, let yourself experience spending time with this person as you tell or show them what they want and need to know about life. Be aware of how it feels to chew you to take on the role of the wiser, older guide.

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” –George Bernard Shaw The inner Fool is never far away from us. It is the archetype that precedes even the innocent. The Fool is the aspect of the inner child that knows how to play, to be sensual and in the body. It is at the root of our basic sense of Vitality and aliveness, which expresses itself as a primitive, childlike, spontaneous, playful creativity. The Fool is the beginning and the end of the journey. When the fool is active in our lives, we are motivated by curiosity and want to explore and experiment with life. It is a time when we have little or no interest in being responsible, at least not for others, for we want most of all to be free. This means free from duties, responsibilities, deadlines, even relationships that might demand things from us that are not fun, and from possessions. The contribution of the Fool to our lives is resilience, the capacity to get up and try again. There are five levels of the Creator: Shadow - Self- indulgence, sloth, gluttony, irresponsibility Call - Boredom, ennui, desire to have more enjoyment in life Spiral One - Life is a game to be played for the fun of it (Fool) Spiral Two - Cleverness used to trick others, to get out of trouble, to find ways around obstacles, to tell the truth without impunity (Trickster) Spiral Three - Life is experienced fully in the moment; life is celebrated for its own sake and lived in the moment, one day at a time (Wise Fool or Jester) Meditate on the funniest and most enjoyable moments in your life that's far. Think of one fun or funny moment after another. Imagine yourself telling humorous stories about these events. Continue at least until you find yourself laughing out loud.
