Seven Spritual Laws Of Success

"Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests."
- Charles Lindbergh

Hello again! I want to share something that I found useful in my recovery. It's worthy of some thought, even if you're not really into what some have called the "Holistic Movement" or "New Age" in the U.S.  I actually kind of find that a misnomer, as what some have called "New Age" is actually built on "Older Than The Bible" eastern theology.  But then, the Buddha didn't teach religion, just tried to figure out how to help or teach people how not to suffer. Jesus didn't teach religion either, he taught how people ought to live also.  Anyway... I'm rambling.

I found that a book and discovered an author that I found intriguing.  Deepak Chopra. 

Fulfilling Your Dreams with the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

There are many aspects to success; material wealth is only one component. Moreover, success is a journey, not a destination. Material abundance, in all its expressions, happens to be one of those things that makes the journey more enjoyable. But success also includes good health, energy and enthusiasm for life, fulfilling relationships, creative freedom, emotional and psychological stability, a sense of well-being and peace of mind. Even with the experience of all these things, we will remain unfulfilled unless we nurture the seeds of divinity inside us. In reality, we are divinity in disguise, and the gods and goddesses in embryo that are contained within us seek to be fully materialized. Although I call the laws I'm about to discuss The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, they could easily be called The Seven Spiritual Laws of Life. This is because they are the same principles that nature uses to create everything in material existence--everything we can see, hear, smell, taste or touch.

Success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals. Success is the ability to fulfill your desires with effortless ease. And yet success, including the creation of wealth, has always been considered a process that requires hard work, and it is often considered to be at the expense of others. We need a more spiritual approach to success and to affluence, which is the abundant flow of all good things to you. With the knowledge and practice of spiritual law, we put ourselves in harmony with nature and create with carefreeness, joy and love. True success is the experience of the miraculous. It is the unfolding of the divinity within us. It is the perception of divinity wherever we go, in whatever we perceive--in the eyes of a child, in the beauty of a flower, in the flight of a bird. When we begin to experience our life as the miraculous expression of divinity--not occasionally, but all the time--then we will know the true meaning of success.

I'm going to introduce the 7 laws over the next week, one per day.

Thanks,
Randy
