Because Ideas Change Lives
A year has ended and another has just begun. If you want to start things right and accomplish more this year, you must prepare for all the things you want to accomplish for the next several months. It’s time to stop mindlessly wasting effort to simply survive and start planning how we want to thrive. After all, if you don’t know what you truly want, then it’s unlikely that you’ll ever achieve it.
Let me ask you this now: What are your next big successes?
Last month, my friends and I met up at a local mall to watch a new spy movie. There, a supervillain tried to poison millions of people in order to expand her illegal business. There was also a politician allowed people to die because it will make him more popular.
By the end of the movie they both get their comeuppance: the evil supervillain dies from her own poison and the corrupt politician is in handcuffs, soon to be imprisoned for his crimes. If you’ve watched enough action movies, you’ll often notice that common trope. Villains get punished and heroes get rewarded. People get what they deserve. That’s the law of karma in action.
While karma comes from the Sanskrit word for “action”, it also refers to the spiritual law of cause and effect. Everything we do (and do NOT do) affects our lives. Good deeds bring good results, bad deeds bring bad results. While it all seems “obvious”, we tend to forget about how it affects literally everything we do and our negligence indirectly causes our own problems and failures.
Now how can we use the law of karma to become more successful? Keep reading to learn more.
I was reading Bob Proctor’s book, You Were Born Rich: Now You Can Discover and Develop Those Riches, and there was one lesson there that I wanted people to learn as it can help them break out of a life of failure. Near the end of the book, Bob explained that there is a “law of opposites” that you can observe about the world. If there’s yin, there’s yang. If there’s light, there’s dark. If there’s success, there’s failure. We know that already, but why is it important?
Most of us wish to become successful and happy. Unfortunately though, we often miss the mark. We don’t get the job we want, our business doesn’t take off, or something else. For one reason or another, we fail at the things that could have made us happier or more successful.
Well, here’s the good news. If there’s a reason for why you failed…
What if there was a way for you to control just about every aspect of your life and change them for the better. Will you use it?
While reading Napoleon Hill’s book, The Law of Success In Sixteen Lessons, I came across a very familiar and valuable poem which contains the essence of several excellent success and self-improvement books and I want to share it with you.

During the time I was able to join a martial arts class, I noticed that some students were able to do better during the harsh physical conditioning part of training. Those regulars who joined the class almost every session completed the hundreds of push-ups, sit ups, squats, and long planks faster and with better form than students like me who were only able to attend a couple of Saturdays a month at most. Some of them started training later than I have but, unsurprisingly, they quickly grew stronger as time went on.
If you’ve ever started a certain career, sport, or hobby, do you ever wonder why some people become better and more successful than you over time? Ruling out “luck” or “natural talent”, did you know that there’s something else at work and that you can use that something to improve just about all areas of your life as well? That’s the lesson we’ll learn here today. Keep reading as you might learn something amazing.
