I’ve isolated 12 Universal Laws for ADD Success. In this article we are going to explore the Universal Law of Expansion. If thoughts have power, why would anybody focus on what’s not working and what’s wrong? If you asked a friend what they think they need to have a happy relationship, make more money, win a victory over procrastination, they recognise most of the time what’s defective and how to repair it; more effort, more time, more energy. Haven’t you had the experience of working on the difficulties hoping to get them fixed so once it’s fixed you may be successful? Where are we actually concentered – on what’s wrong. The Universal Law of Expansion states that wherever your attention is concentered it will expand. Expand? Here’s another way of saying the same thing. What you recompense attention to grows! Our thoughts construct our universe therefore the universe listens to what you are thinking, saying or acting whether consciously or unconsciously. “Oh, they want more wrong!” OK. Let’s give it to them.” To succeed, we need to focus on what’s right! We need to understand, exercise and hug this necessary introductory universal law to fetch in regards to what we desire. When we do breathtakingly an abundance of right will show up when you least suppose it. Success is personal and distinctive to you. Success is whatsoever you say it is for you.Consider the following: “Success is achieved by formulating our amount of energy not eliminating our weaknesses.” Marilyn Van Savant – Billed as the person with the most eminent IQ (228) ever recorded. I ask clients what do they think they are good at, what are their strengths. The majority can’t think of any. Over time we discover an abundance of them but we find ourselves immersed in what’s not working. Success and focus follow what you are good at; your intensities based upon your natural innate talents. We’ll explore this at length in coming articles but for now here is the short hand version for you to consider. Talents and amount of energy energize and have the power to increase your sense of well-being. They add to the quality of your life. Challenges and/or weaknesses drain you. They sap your energy. How do a find my natural abilities and qualities and strengths? Ask what is it that I do that when I am actively involved in it, I am totally absorbed. What is it that comes easily? Practice the Universal Law of Expansion. Get in the habit of acknowledging those elements of your life that work. It is in the habit of remembering and noting these moments in your life that success and accomplishment will mature and stick.

Although almost everyone admires Napoleon Hill’s work on the requirements for being successful, most will agree that he was always somewhat opaque in describing what he had learned. His later books are clearer, but not crystal clear. For that reason, I’m always pleased when someone connects the dots better on the same subject. The Twelve Universal Laws of Success is such a book. I am very glad I read it. Mr. Herbert Harris does quite a remarkable job of combining the perspectives of physical science, psychology and different religions to provide a very clear view of how to lead a life directed towards worthy goals that you achieve. Those who are Christians will find strength in his use of many Biblical quotations.
As I read the twelve laws, I sometimes felt like I was being taken on a tour around a statue. By seeing more perspectives, I could understand the holism of the statue much better . . . or in this case, what is required for success. So don’t be surprised at what will seem like a little redundancy in the rules. Some of them are really axioms of other rules . . . but ones that you might not have figured out on your own. For example, the law of change is an axiom of the law of thought.
The material is well organized. The book begins with much helpful background information, including how to study any new subject or book. Now, that’s getting down to brass tacks! Each law then has its own chapter, and you will find chapter summaries and study guides at the end of each. If you apply yourself to the study guides, you benefit from the book will be enormous. That’s one of the many improvements over Napoleon Hill in the book.
I also liked the way that Mr. Harris was careful to explain what his words and concepts mean. Success is “the continuous realization of the outcomes or results you desire.” He also carefully describes the conscious, subconscious and superconscious minds.
The laws themselves are ones that most people will recognize from their own experiences and religious studies. Here are a few examples of the laws summarized (see pages 181-183 for the whole list):
The Universal Law of Thought (“You become what you think about most of the time.”)
The Universal Law of Change (“You change your life by changing your thinking.”)
The Universal Law of Relationships (“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”).
I especially liked his advice for how to end your day. Ask yourself, “Did I do everything I could do today to make tomorrow the way I want it to be?” He encourages you to live each day so that you can earnestly answer, “Yes, I did everything I could, with all I had to do it with!”
Mr. Herbert suggests that this book will be of most help to those who are having fairly good results in their own lives . . . but need to fine-tune what they are doing. He also suggests the book for those who are just starting out on their own as young adults. Although he does not mention it, I also think this book could be a life saver for those whose lives have crashed and burned in some fundamental way . . . and want to clean up their act.
As I finished the book, I was again reminded of the value of setting and pursuing worthwhile goals for ourselves. We can each do great things . . . if only we focus on doing so! 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. |
