Once you can fully grasp this concept in your life, you can quite literally start living the life of your dreams.

We want what is familiar. When something is familiar, it is comfortable. We tend to seek out comfort and familiarity instead of something different. But that something different is how you change.

If you are anything into the law of attraction or manifestation or living life on a higher frequency, I know you have heard this concept before.

Reap what you sow.

What you program in, gets programmed out.

Where your energy goes, your attention flows.

You get what you expect.

All of these are true. But how does this affect your life? What do we truly mean when we say thoughts, feelings, and behaviors dictate our life?

Let’s do a few exercises to show you what I mean.

Thoughts, Feeling, and Behaviors

Let’s start with a simple one: Your daily habits.

I have a morning routine where I am awake by 530a and spend an hour meditating, sitting in silence, sitting in gratitude, full of love and bliss. My time to just sit and be incredibly grateful for another day on this beautiful planet. Another day to see my beautiful wife and kids. To make a change in the world with my writing. Just to see and be. I emit a very high frequency – high vibrations – during this time because I am in a state of love and bliss.

Then at 630a, my boy’s alarm goes off and I go from a state of love and bliss to chaos and anger. Trying to get kids out the door who don’t want to get dressed, eat breakfast, or even go to the flippin’ bathroom! My frequency – no matter how hard I try, goes to a low frequency.

Those 2 hours of the morning, give me a middle wave vibration to start my day. High, then low, puts you an average of the middle. My day isn’t ruined, but I am also not riding a high vibration at that moment. I am in the middle. I am the sum total of my thoughts, feeling, and behaviors.

How can I raise my vibrations here? I am working on being calmer, and emitting more love when I get my boys ready in the morning. I raise that vibration, my average vibration goes up throughout the day and things start improving. Got me so far?

Great – so let’s use a real-life example of how we can apply this to life and our goals. Let’s do it with money and wealth.

When I was 26, I got married to the love of my life. And boy that was a stressful time. We both were finishing up master’s degrees, working minimum wage jobs, and living in a townhome we barely were scraping to get by. I think I was at 27k a year or something like that. I had just learned about the law of attraction via reading The Secret and was starting to soak up all the authors in this space. One of those reads was The Feeling Is The Secret, by Neville Godard. Basically, Neville says that the secret to life is FEELING the way you want to feel in the future. By feeling the way you want to feel, you basically BE the person you need to be to DO The things to get you want.

My first big at-bat with this was manifesting more money into my life. But it couldn’t just be about the money, because money doesn’t have a direct feeling or emotion attached to it. It is what money can bring. So I did a 10 levels deep exercise – where you go 10 levels deep on the ‘why’. You can read more here on the 10 levels deep exercise.

Turns out for me, making more money means giving my wife, and my future kids the life they deserve. A house with a backyard, vacations, and the works. I HAD to get there. So I set a goal: 100k before I was 30 years old.

Why 100k? I mean – isn’t that the gold standard for wealth when you are making 27k? And why 30? IDK – seemed like a good even number. So I set it – and off I went.

2 years went by, and I was making 35k. Nowhere NEAR where I thought I would be. I should be close to at least 60k if 100k was going to come into reach. And here comes all the doubt about does the secret really work? Am I really meant just to be a 35k earner in my life? Maybe this is what wealth looks like in my life?

Then one night, I randomly decided to log into my Kindle and go through old books that I read in the past. And one stuck out like a sore thumb: The feeling is the secret.

THE FEELING IS THE SECRET

I wasn’t FEELING wealth. In fact – I was feeling the opposite. I was still feeling debt. Lack. Scarcity. And you know what I was getting? Debt. Lack Scarcity. I was still worried about if we had money each money. Still stressing that I can’t take my wife to anything but the dollar menu at Mcdonald’s. Still looking at my beater of a car I quite literally would pray to god to let it start just one more day so I can try to change this position. And you know what god did? He gave me exactly what I asked for. That car always just barely started. I just barely could afford date night. I always just barely paid the mortgage. But that wasn’t the wealth that was going to give my future family the life we need.

So I had to change my feeling. I started with the most basic of questions: What does wealth feel like?

Well – I will tell you what it doesn’t feel like. It doesn’t feel like worrying about money. It doesn’t feel like wondering if you can pay your house payment or not. It doesn’t feel like not being able to take your wife to nice dinners. It doesn’t feel like a piece of shit car.

And here is where I had that moment of change in my life. I realized I was trying to manifest the feeling of wealth by NOT manifesting the feeling of lack. But that only made me see and feel the lack. The emotion of scarcity. The thoughts of “can we afford life right now”. I needed to flip the script.

I needed to get around wealth. I needed to get accustomed to how wealthy people live and think, to cultivate those feelings.

At this time, I was driving an hour each way to my job. About halfway through, I drive through a city called Del Mar. Known to be a high-end area, but not outrageous. It was a city I always thought wealthy people would live, and I wanted to live if I was wealthy. So one random day, I pulled off the freeway and pulled into a little housing development there. I got out and just walked around.

God damn it was uncomfortable. People in nice clothes, with nice cars in the driveway, in their nice houses, were looking at me wondering what this rif raf was doing in their neighborhood – or so that is what I thought people were doing. Truth be told now – no one gave a shit I was there. So I walked around.

And I did it again. Different neighborhood. New day – new area. I went to the coffee shops in the morning and bought a coffee in Del Mar. I went to their parks. I picked up groceries at their stores. I surrounded myself with the feelings of “wealth” or how I interpreted wealth at this time. I also did things like subscribe to the Robb Report. Signed up for ‘high-end’ newsletters. And the kicker – I took my wife out for a dinner that cost over $100 for a date night. I have never had more stress in my entire life – but I knew I had to do it. Do you know why?

Every single one of those events raised my standard of wealth and lowered my standard of what I would accept in my life. Because my thoughts, feelings, and behaviors were aligned when the idea of wealth because I was surrounding myself with wealth. I was normalizing Mercedes and BMWs instead of Ford and Hondas. I was seeing 30k watches in magazines and saying “I don’t like that color” because I have seen so many. I was raising what it FELT LIKE to be wealthy.

And sure as shit – one thing led to another, I randomly landed a sales role within my company, went from 45k to 85k, and finally 118k the year I turned 30.

I didn’t even realize I made it until 2 months after my 30th birthday when I got my commission statement to YTD was over 100k. I sat back in my chair and was like ‘Whoa – this works’. And I haven’t looked back since.

Don’t Stop Believing

Trust me I know it is very hard to do when you are scraping to get by to try to cultivate the feelings of wealth. But also trust me when I tell you that you need to. If you want to achieve all the dreams you have dreamt, you MUST put the thoughts and feelings into a place of feeling in that state NOW, or else it will never come. Yes – it is awkward.

It is awkward valeting your 2009 Hyundai Elantra at a restaurant where there are Lambos and Ferraris. Yes, I know your hand literally trembles to hand over your $250 limit credit card for a $115 meal for the first time in your life. Yes, I know the look in your wife’s eye when you mustard up all the money you have to attend a concert, but literally have no money for even a goddamn pretzel at intermission, but you still say “Get whatever you want honey”. Trust me – I know those moments are tough.

But it hurts the worst the first time. Before you know it, you are valeting your porches and commenting on the ugly color of the Maclren you are parked next to. The every date night is $150+. And those concerts are the best indulgences of your life.

I don’t say those things to impress you – I really don’t. I want to impress upon you that I was a lost soul who finally learned how to make the universe work for me, but using my thoughts, feelings, and behaviors-, and if you want to get everything you want in life – this is the way.

Set your sights on what you want. figure out the true why. And do whatever you need to do to cultivate the feeling that the life you want is already in front of you. Then sit back and relax as you watch everything you have ever dreamed about come into your life.

Or you can continue to struggle the way you are living now. The choice is truly up to you.

FEELING.

I bet you know that your thoughts become things, but what doesn’t an elephant appear when you think about an elephant?

Ok, sure – you could say there is a gestation period like all things in the world – including manifestation – so things do magically appear. If this was your answer – kudos to being a great student.

But there is another reason why some of the things you manifest don’t reveal themselves: you think it – but you don’t FEEL it.

Whatever you are looking to get for your future self, you have to be able to FEEL how that would feel NOW. Not later. Not when you get it. NOW.

You can see this in happiness in most people.

I will be happen when I get that promotion.

I will be happy when I find that perfect person.

I will be happy when I make $100,000 a year.

The main issue in that way of thinking is that those goals will never come to you, because you are putting your feeling in that future state. If you don’t know how to feel those feelings NOW, how do you expect to feel those feelings then?

And there is where most people fail with the law of attraction.

If you really want to succeed in your manifestations, you need to start FEELING the feelings that you would have when you receive it, but feel them now.

The Feeling Is The Secret

Getting the feeling down is probably the hardest part about manifestation because let’s face it: If you don’t know what it feels like to make 100k, how can you possibly know what it feels like to make 100k?

Or lose 50 lbs.

Or get that relationship of your dreams.

Or get that car of your dreams.

They do describe this in The Secret. There is a scene in the movie, where they are telling you to sit in your chair, and imagine that you are behind the wheel of your brand new sports car – and they have this whole scene about it. That is the feeling. Sure – you can imagine it, dream it, visualize it – but if you don’t have the FEELINGS behind it, you just won’t get there.

Because you have never been there, you truly don’t know what it feels like. And there lies the biggest problem. If you can’t feel it – you can’t manifest it.

So let’s pose the question: How do you get the feeling?

Simple – you get the feeling.

Yes – that is over simplistic but that truly is how you do it. In order to generate the feelings of getting what you want, you ave to start generating the feelings of what you want. Not when you get it – now.

I was 25 years young when I came across The Secret. Fresh out of college (yes – it took me awhile), working dead end job making maybe 30k a year. I wanted more – I knew I wanted more. I came from a poor upbringing and had a very poor money mindset. I wanted out of it – and knew that I could. But no matter what I did I could not get it. I did the visualizations, affirmations, meditations, and whatever other -ations I could throw at it. Nothing was changing. Until I changed.

I read this story about playing games with yourself in order to generate the feelings of what you are looking to do. In this case – financial abundance. So I decided it couldn’t hurt – it will only work, right? So I started putting myself in situations surround wealth.

• I subscribed to the Robb Report magazine.
• I took daily walks in the most affluent neighborhoods in San Diego (Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Encinitas, etc).
• I would try on pants at a store, and put $20 in the pocket and put them back on the rack.
• I test drove a BMW 5 series.
• I took my car to the valet.
• I dropped $200 on a dinner with my girlfriend (now wife).

Every single one of these things scared the living sh*t out of me. I didn’t belong in those neighborhoods. I didn’t have extra money to just drop in pockets for someone else. I drove a 2000 Pontiac sunfire – who the f*ck valet thats? That $200 dinner – on a credit card because I didn’t have enough in the bank – hell the card only had a $500 limit!

Crazy? Yes – yes it was. Did I feel the feelings of abundance the first time? Absolutely not. In fact – it triggered more stress and feelings of lack that abundance.

But I kept at it. Because I believed this will work. And do you know what started happening?

• The price tag of those items in the Robb Report started to become normal. 100k for a watch? Well – it is a nice watch.
• I started to normalize seeing Porches and Mercedes and BMW and Range Rovers in those fancy neighborhoods. It was no longer ‘look at that fancy car’ but simply – look at that car.
• Parking in the valet became normal – I was actually pissed when a restaurant or hotel did NOT have valet. What – you want me to self park like a peasant?
• Date nights now consist of $200 meals easily, and freely.

2 years later, I pulled my first 100k year –  nearly 4 years to the day of earning that 30k a year.  But more important than the earning is building my abundance mindset. Every time I drop $200 on a dinner date with my wife, I give a little smile because it isn’t money being spent, it is good times and memories being made, well worth the money for dinner.

That story may feel like a boastful brag, but the key takeaway point is to generate the feelings. Yes – it will feel uncomfortable walking through ritzy neighborhoods when you are used to the slums. Yes – it will feel weird shopping for the new clothes you will wear when you lose that 50 lbs. Yes – it will feel odd testing driving that 911 GT3 Porsche.

But unless you know what it feels like in those moments – you will never know what it feels like in those moments. You will never be able to normalize a fancy neighborhood. You will never be able to see yourself 50 pounds lighter. You will never know what 346 ft lbs of torque really feels like off the line.

That is why you need to do whatever you can to start feeling the feelings of your end result. Feel FROM your goals, not when you get there.

If you can master the feeling of what you want – there literally is nothing stopping you from the life of your dreams.

So feel the feelings – and get the life that you want!

The only way it is going to fit, is if you force it.

And if you force it, it probably will get bend, mis-aligned, or even broke.

And even if you are able to force it, it isn’t going to work like it should, because it doesn’t fit properly.

Welcome to how the universe works.

Often in life, we try to force what we want into our lives. And sometimes – the universe kind of goes along with it, and gives us what we need, but not in the capacity we think it is suppose to be at.

But most of the time, we try to force our square peg of what we want into the circle of life and get frustrated to no end when it doesn’t work. When we still don’t have the money, when we didn’t get the job, when our relationship is still shit. Most of the time, this creates negativity in our life, which leads to the notification to the universe that we want more negativity, and when it rains it pours, so more negativity is exactly what you will get.

Let Go, and Let Love

The universe has a divine plan for you. There is something cooking for you, toward the goals you are seeking, stronger than any other power there is. But it can’t be forced. The universe will let it happen, you just have to let it happen.

What you are seeking, is seeking you. Rumi

What you desire, what you are seeking, what you want out of life is out there, and it is coming for you. Today? Maybe – maybe not. Next week? Maybe – maybe not. Next year? Maybe – maybe not. But it is coming.

The universe has it’s time and place. In order to achieve all that you desire, you need to let go of any resistance of force, and just let the universe do it’s thing in your life and all will be manifested.

Now – here is the big caveat in here: You can’t just sit in your chair at your house and have everything manifest itself without doing the work.

The work is what gets you there. The work gets results. The work helps the universe align the world to provide the things needed to provide. The work allows for the inspired inspiration – those moments that you never thought about, divine inspiration moving you toward where you need to go. That is what the work does.

But you can’t force the work. Be open to possibilities, keep going down the path you are going, and trust the universe to open doors. If it doesn’t feel right, it isn’t the universe. Don’t be closed off, be open and honest about the opportunities that present themselves in your life.

It is a tough game – as there maybe something that feels like the universe is pointing you in that direction, but actually is you trying to force it. If it feels forced, it isn’t the divine. It is you and your ego trying to get what you want. Take a step back, take a deep breathe, open your heart and check your gut. It will tell you – you will know.

This is one of the most difficult concepts to grasp when talking about manifesting. But it is the truth – you have to know what you want, go get what you want, but let the universe direct you in the right way – don’t force what you want.

You will get there. It is a practice. It is a journey. It is life. And it is beautiful.

What is the law of gender?

The law of gender is similar to the law of polarity; it is about opposites. Where the law of polarity is about opposites of anything and everything, the law of gender looks at 2 energies: Masculine and Feminine.

Everything in the world has a masculine and feminine. Everything IS masculine AND feminine.

The most commonly viewed and probably well known way to look at this is the yin and the yang. The yin is the feminine energy and the yang is masculine. They both are interwined, making a whole being. But look closely, within the feminine lies a small dot of masculine, and within the masculine lies a small dot of feminine, representing that both the masculine and feminine are present in the masculine and the feminine. It is in everything.

Why is the Law Of Gender important?

The law of gender is important because it shows both sides – the feminine and the masculine – of everything. And each has their own traits. If we can know that everything has a masculine and feminine, and understand how to notice their traits, we can start using the law of gender to benefit our lives.

Feminine energy is very giving, receptive, passive and inward flowing. It is our empathetic and compassionate side. The feminine energy is electrical. It’s the ME – the self – in I AM.

Masculine energy is taking, action oriented, and outward flowing. It is the power of will, determination and conscious mind. It is the magnetic side. It is the I in I AM.

Everything in life presents itself with these 2 sides.

Right and left brain, for example. One side boast logic (masculine) and the other side boast creativity (feminine).

The soul and the ego are the same way. The soul is present, and calm (feminine) where the ego is dominate and forceful (masculine).

It is important when we discuss this that we do not get too convoluted in the discussion of gender, gender roles, and which gender someone is. This is not what this is about, and frankly there is too much noise about that in the world today.

This is about energies, and understand that everything, everyone has feminine and masculine energies, even males and females. Females possess masculine energies within them, although mostly feminine energies are dominate. The same goes for males on the flip side.

Understanding these energies, and that they are all around us, will help you to live a more powerful and fulfilling life.

How To Use The Law of Gender

Like the law of polarity and the law of rhythm, there really isn’t any specific thing you can do to “use” the law of gender. The most important thing is know they are around, know they are present in your everyday, and start to notice them around you.

For example – if you get an idea, that is the feminine power (why some say you conceive an idea) at work. As you rationalize the idea and put it into action, that is the masculine energy at work.

When something drastic or emotional happens in your life, that initial rock of emotions is the feminine energy. The masculine energy creates a plan to ride out the issue.

You need both the masculine and feminine in life. Literally, without the masculine and feminine, life would not exist!

Start looking for ways the law of gender is at play in your life – notice the soft yet emotional strength in the feminine power, and the strong, determined power in the masculine energy.

What Is The Law of Rhythm

The law of rhythm is just what it sounds like: Life has a rhythm. It has a rhyme. It has a flow.

I once had a great mentor of mine tell me “Life comes in waves. Sometimes the wave is high, and you marvel in it’s beauty, only to be smashed by it’s power, only to enjoy the quietness as the next wave loads up”.

That is the law of Rhythm. Life has a rhythm. It has waves. It has flow.

For every high, there is a low. For every low, there is a high. Most people think that the law of attraction is living a life 100% positive 100% of the time. And it is – but in your mind. That is where the locus of control is. Life, external factors, the world, that is the rhythm. That is the ups and downs.

Understand that there is a rhythm to the universe means you can weather the storm. You can ride that wave, get smashed, and go back out knowing there is going to be a high wave. Pain is not permanent. Your situation is not permanent. The bad? It won’t stick around forever. But again – neither will the good.

As the Kybalion puts it:

Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.

There is nothing that does not follow this. Think about your health. Where do you think the term Yo-Yo diet came from? It is the ups and downs. Good health, bad health, back to good.

Even the economy follows this pattern. Economy goes high, and is prosperous, then dips and goes low, but will always return at some point to the high.

Why is the law of Rhythm important

Knowing the law of Rhythm means you can ride the wave. Instead of swimming against the current, fighting the waves, let the wave come and go. Ride it – enjoy it – both the ups and the downs. Cherise the ups, knowing the down is right behind. Embrace the down, knowing the up is soon coming.

This is a hard one for people to grasp sometimes. I know for me especially at certain times of my life, it is hard to see the light in the darkness, the good in the bad, the up when you are down.

One time in particular, was particularly tough. My wife miscarried our first pregnancy ever. I was devastated – beyond anything else that I have been through. 12 weeks along – my wife doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, does not even intake caffeine, and we had the miscarriage. It wrecked me. When I was in that darkness, there was no light. There was only darkness, and plenty of it.

Fast forward 5 years later, I have 2 of the most amazing boys that I could ever imagine calling my sons. If that first pregnancy went to term, I would not be here, with them, in these moments that I am having.

There was an up after that down, but it is so hard to see.

That is why the law of rhythm can be so important. Nothing staysdark forever. No bad will be around for the rest of your life. Whatever you are going there, keep going. There is an up on the other-side. There is light, there is good, there is hope. You just have to believe, and keep pushing forward. That pendulum of life will swing back before you know it.

How To Use The Law of Rhythm

The use of the law of rhythm is more in the mindset that everything will come back up. There are no real tactics like other laws, more of ensuring you have reminders in place when you are down.

That is the hardest part about the law of rhythm – using it when you are down. But if you can instill in yourself this belief that all lows leads to highs, and embrace it, you will realize that the dark spot you are in, won’t last forever.

And keep that in mind on the good as well. Every high has a low. Enjoy the highs. Embrace all the good. Soak up all the light you can, and don’t get too cocky about it – because there is a darkness that will soon develop.

Read the other 12 universal laws to see how you can use the law of rhythm with other laws.

What is the Law of Polarity

The law of polarity is about opposites. Everything is on a continuum and has an opposite.

EVERY SINGLE THING HAS AN OPPOSITE.

Right and left.

Up and Down.

Success and Failure.

Good and bad.

Rich and poor.

Wealth and scarcity.

Disease and Health.

North and south.

East and west.

Boy and girl.

Day and night.

Light and dark.

Yin and Yang.

Moon and sun.

Male and female.

Cold and hot.

Submission and projective.

Active with passive.

Why The Law Of Polarity is Important

So you may be thinking “Great – everything has an opposite. How does this help me?”.

Remember in quite a few of the 12 universal laws we have discussed that your thoughts dictate your life. What goes in, comes out. So the more good you focus on, the more good you will get. The more bad you focus on, the more bad you get.

If you are in a scarcity mindset, things will allude you. If you have a poor mindset, you will never have wealth. If you want wealth, you need to change your mind to wealth – you need to go to the law of polarity and look at the opposite.

Here is a great example in the world we live in today: HATE.

We have SOOOO much hatred thrown at us. In politics, schools, relationships, race, ethnicity, it seems every time you turn on the news it is hate related. Hate leads to resentment, and pain, and suffering, and worst of all – negativity.

If you focus on that – guess what you will see all around you?

If you are noticing hatred all around – guess what you need to do? Look at the opposite.

Find the love.

Turn off the news. Go outside. And intentionally look for love, not hate. Look for love in politics, and in schools, and in relationships, and in race, and in ethnicity. Look for love anywhere and everywhere and you know what you will find? Love. All the time, every time.

Do the same thing for abundance. If you are constantly in a scarcity mindset, and all you see is the things you DON’T have, the lack of money, the lack of “things” the lack of anything – just the lack, all you are going to see in your life is lack.

Look for the opposite. Look for the abundance. If you constantly look for abundance, do you know what you will find? Abundance.

Do it for your health. If you wake up in the morning and notice that you are overweight, none of your clothes fit, your heart is pounding just walking to the bathroom, guess what you will get? More weight, more clothes that don’t fit, and more disease.

But what if you noticed the health? Even in your current state. What if you noticed how you have the HEALTH to walk to the bathroom. What if you noticed that you HAVE clothes that you can wear, and are grateful for that. What if you look at the day as the opportunity to better yourself, and focus on your HEALTH, instead of your disease. Do you know what you will get? Health.

Think about it – if you focus on something, and you don’t focus on the something else, won’t you notice what you focus on and not see what you don’t focus on? So why focus on things you don’t want? Why focus on the lack? Why focus on scarcity? Why focus on the hate? Why focus on the things that put you in a bad mood?

Instead, focus on the opposite – because there is an opposite for all things!

Notice and focus on all the things you want in life. Focus on the prosperity. Focus on the abundance that we have here. Focus on the love. Focus on the things that put a smile on your face and a song in your soul.

DO THAT!!

How to use the Law of Polarity

Using the law of polarity is very simple: Notice the opposite.

When you find yourself stuck in a rut, or thinking negative thoughts, or sabotaging your mindset somehow, focus on the opposite. Practice this in even small situations. At work and boss yells at you? What is your reaction? POsitive? Probably not. Flip the script. What feelings do you have, now focus on the opposite. Just see how that feels. If you are feeling mad, focus on something that makes you glad. Go outside and feel the grass on your bare feet (one of my favorites!). Go talk to that co worker that always puts a smile on your face. Go do something that is the polar opposite of the feelings you are having and see how that changes thing.

I can guarantee you that if you focus on the opposite of the negative feelings that you are having, there is no physical way you can think of the feelings that are negative. Because you only will feel what you focus, so why not focus on the good!

There it is! The law of polarity in all it’s truth! Be sure to check out the other 12 universal laws and keep reading!

What is the Law of Relativity

The law of relativity is basic: What you see, and do, and think, who you are, and how you act, and your mindset, it is all relative. It is not big, or small, or bad or good, or warm, or cold, or rich, or poor, or abundant, or negative. It just is. How you relate it to others is how you determine what it is.

One of my favorite quotes is that the world is not happening TO you, it is happening FOR you. Meaning – the way you see and react to the things in your life is how you think about life.

Think your life is going bad? Maybe that is because you are comparing yourself to those that have more than you. Maybe you think you are poor because you only see what rich people have. Maybe you think you have a bad relationship because you see someone else’s wife do something you wish that your wife did. Maybe you think your boss hates you because you see them buddy up with someone else.

Think of it this way. If you live in Fargo, North Dakota – where it consistently can be below 0 degrees in the winter, if you get a winter day that gets to a high of 40 degrees, you are excited for the spring like weather! But if you live in San Diego, 40 degree high means the apocalypse has hit us.

The 40 degrees is the same, so what the different reaction in each city? Relativity. It’s all relative. It is relative to what you know.

Why the Law of Relativity is important

The law of relativity is important because it shows that nothing is, but everything is.

Let me explain.

Because everything is relative, nothing is big or small or warm or cold or fast or slow or good or bad or rich or poor or abundant or scare or anything else for that matter. They way it becomes anything is when you compare it to something. It is that comparison – that relativity – that gives it is something. Once we relate it to something, we give it space.

This means that YOU are the one that can decide if something is big or small or warm or cold or fast or slow or good or bad or rich or poor or abundant or scare or anything else for that matter. How cool is that?

Here are some examples about things being relative.

You have a dog. Your dog is smaller than your brother’s dog, but bigger than your sister’s dog. Is your dog small or big?

You make $24,000 a year. Your brother makes $36,000 a year, but your sister makes $18,000 a year. Are your poor or wealthy?

Let’s take that one one level deeper.

You make $24,000 a year. You talk to someone who makes $80,000, you may feel like your life could change so much if you had that, and you could leave the poverty stricken life you currently have and prosper. You talk to someone else who makes $14 a week (A WEEK!). That is $728 a year. You talk to them, they look at your $24,000 and feel like their life could change so much if they had that, and they could leave the pverty striken life they currently have and prosper. To them – you are wealthy.

It is all relative. It is all perspective. And it is all in your mind!

I have a live working example of this in my own life – which is why I am so passionate about this stuff.

When I was 24, I was making $22,500 a year. I knew I needed more, but was doing OK. I was doing OK because my relativity was those around me. At that time, $22,500 was doing better than most people around me (late college students). But when I turned 25, I switched jobs and started working with people making $85k, $100k, $200k, in a sales role. My perspective change – my relativity changed, and $22,500 was NOT that much. So I change my relativity, applied other laws in was quickly increasing my earnings hand over fist as my relativity changed. A few years later, I was a consistent 6-figure earning in my sales role.

I recently had a friend switch into the real estate world. During a conversation, he told me “If I could just make $70,000 – I would be set!”. I told him in sales – he could do $170k! He said he didn’t need that – just $70,000. Which is fine – but he is basing that of his relative experience. Where he is at NOW – that is great money. But if he wants it – he could do more. It is all relative. It is all based on your perspective. It is all how you compare whatever you are looking at to the world.

And because YOU are the one creating the comparison, YOU have the power to change your comparison and switch up your thinking for better and more prosperous relativity!

How to use the Law of Relativity

Here are 5 ways you can use the law of relativity to your advantage throughout your life:

1. Notice how you relate things. The first thing to start changing your thinking is to start notice your thinking. Start looking at everything you see, do, consume, read, believe, and ask yourself how you related it. Remember – it is only what it is by how you compare it. If you ate a piece of dog poop, even the worst food will taste good. Ask yourself what you are comparing it to and start noticing your relativity anchors.
2. Relate it different. Once you notice the relation you created, relate it different. If you say “that is a big dog”, ask yourself why do you think it is big, then make it small. If you compared the dog to the Chihuahua you know, compare it to a great dane. If you start thinking that a situation is negative, relate it differently to be positive.
3. Don’t be afraid to think big. Create some crazy comparisons and see how that changes your thought. Think the weather is too hot? At least you are not on the sun! Did the weather feel a bit cooler? Think that $24,000 is not enough money? At least it isn’t $728! Does your finances feel a bit better?
4. Relativity for gratefulness. Being grateful is one of the most powerful experiences in the world, but when you are in a dark place, it is very hard to be grateful. But remember, your “hard place” is created by your own mind by comparing it to something that is probably good. When practicing gratitude, use the law of relativity. If you are trying ot lose weight, be grateful for the weight you are at, because relativity, you don’t have 100 more lbs to lose! The ultimate gratitude? You are alive. What is relative to that? NOT being alive. Put that into perspective for a minute.
5. Remove labels. One of the reasons we have our relative mindset that we do is we put labels on everything. We are overweight, underpaid, overworked, under educated, and a million other labels. Remove labels in your life. Remember – nothing is until it is. Make it what you want.

There you have it! The law of relativity in all of it’s glory! Be sure to read all the 12 laws of the universe and put them in practice for a better life!

What is the Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy

Let’s break down each work in this law, to better understand what it is.

Perpetual – Never ending.

transmutation – Action of changing state.

Energy – everything that is around us.

So, the true definition of the law of perpetual transmutation of energy, if we break it down, is the law of the never ending action of changing state of everything around us.

BOOM!

Basically, we have the ability, the never ending ability, to change the energy around us.

THe law of vibration shows this. Higher vibes, consume / change lower vibrations. You can change people that are negative into the positive. YOU CAN CHANGE. You are not stuck where you are at. Energy can be changed all the time, in endless capacity, so to think you are stuck where you are at – stuck in the job, or relationship, or friendships, or body, or diet, or anything else is just untrue! You have the true capacity to change every single think in your life by change the energy around you.

So how do you change your energy? Change your thoughts.

Why the law of perpetual transmutation of energy is important

Here is why this law is so important. You can change energy. Your thoughts are energy. You have the power to change your thoughts. You change your thoughts – you change your energy. You change your energy, you will attraction, based on the other laws of the universe, everything you want into your life because you are matching the energy.

People always ask – “How can I be happy?”. Or “How can I be wealthy?” thinking that there is some magic trick. If you are not happy, you are sad. If you are not wealthy, you are poor. If you are sad, your energy is radiating sadness. You get sad. If you are poor, your energy is radiating poverty. You get poverty.

Want to be happy? Change your energy to radiate happiness. You get happy. Want to be wealthy? Change your energy to radiate wealth. You become wealthy.

And here comes the boos from the cheap seats…

So let me get this straight, Zach. I currently am living below the poverty line. I am living less than pay check to pay check. We are poor by most standards. You are trying to tell me – in my current situation – that if I want to be wealthy, as poor as I am, all I need to do is just to change my energy to wealthy energy?

Precisely. That is exactly how it works. But here is where people fall off – they want to be poor. The are consumed with being poor. Being poor is all they have ever known – so it is all they will ever be.

But if you can change your energy to one of wealth and abundance, poverty does not exist in your world.

Still don’t believe me? Think of it this way: If you had no idea what being poor, or living in poverty meant, and you only knew wealth and abudance, would poverty still be in your world? No. Because your perception – your thought of poverty – doesn’t exist.

That is what I am saying here any that is what this law is all about. We have the never ending power to change the energy around us. Our thoughts are energy. Things are energy. So if we change our thoughts – if we change from sadness to happiness, from poverty to prosperity, our world changes.

How to use the law of perpetual transmutation of energy

Buddha once gave the best way on how to apply the law of perpetual transmutation of energy:

“Good thoughts will produce good actions, and bad thoughts will produce bad actions. Hatred does not cease by hatred at any time; hatred ceases by love.”

You get what you think about. The energy around you is the energy in your head. Good produces good. Bad produces bad. Hate produces hate. Love produces love.

Here are a few ways you can change what goes in, so you can change what goes out.

1. Gratitude. Never underestimate the power of being grateful. Gratitude goes a long way. Being grateful not only in your present moment, in what you have now, but knowing that you are working your way to the future. This allows you to change energy.
2. Visualize. Seeing the end result is important. Whatever it is you want, put that thought in your head. Put in happiness, see happiness, feel happiness, be happy. Put in wealth, abundance, prosperity and be wealthy. Get in tune with the feelings and energy that you want – and want that manifest in your life.
3. Affirmations. Tell yourself about the good. Tell yourself about the abundance. Tell yourself about the happiness. Tell yourself about the things that you want to have or feel and how they are coming toward you.
4. Take in the good, take out the bad. When you realize that your thoughts are your world, you will start being more careful about what you put in. How well is that late night news, or that latest Kardashian instagram post doing for your happiness and wealth? Remove them. Replace them with positive things. Find positive blogs, read self help books, put in more positivity, so more positivity will come out.
5. Think about your thoughts. Your thoughts become your reality. Think about your thoughts, what is going in, what is coming out, and how you can change both – to maximize your life.

There you have it! That is the law of perpetual transmutation of energy. Hope you enjoyed it, and don’t forget to read about the other 12 laws of the universe!

What Is The Law of Attraction

The law of attraction is fairly straight forward: Like attracts like. You attract what you are vibrating on. What you put out to the world, comes back to you. Similar to the Law of Cause and Effect and the Law of Compensation, yet a little different, the law of attraction can be summed up with: What you sow, so shall you reap.

Energy is all around. Energy is everything and everything is energy. This is science. You cannot dispute this. Whatever energy you are focusing on, the universe sends you more of that energy, because like attracts like. Same energy attracts same energy. Without fail.

The Secret does an amazing job on this law. Although they did miss just a few other ones, the way they explain the law of attraction is fairly spot on.

Now – keep in mind that you need to apply the work to get what you want – you can’t just visualize and have things appear at your front door like The Secret assumes. But the idea of you attract what you attract is so true.

This is true for every single aspect of your life. You can look over every nook and cranny of your life, and see what you are attracting by the energy you are putting out into the universe.

Why The Law of Attraction is Important

Let’s look at finances.

If you have worries about your debt, or you think you have lack of money, or all you see is the red when you do your budget, guess what you are going to attract more of into your life? More debt, more lack, more red.

Now, if you look at the same set of finances, and you feel abundance, you are grateful because you actually have money coming in, and you know you are on the path to a better future financially, this is just a stepping stone, what do you think? Abudance, more money, and more importantly, better feelings about money.

Now look – I know this is hard. I have been there. Knowing that you are suppose to be attracting abundance by putting abundance in your life. The only way you attract money is to feel good and positive about money. The only way to get ahead is know that you have enough and it will be enough and you always have enough and you are completely grateful for the enough.

But when you don’t have enough, the last thing you can do is try to look at abundance. When you are living paycheck to paycheck, when you don’t know how you are going to get by this week, when you aren’t sure if you have enough – feeling as if you have plenty so more can come to you is near impossible.

But that is the law of attraction. If you notice the lack – the lack comes in greater quantity.

How To Use the Law of Attraction

So how do you get around it? How to you put yourself in a place a place of abundance and prosperity when everything around you seems to crumble?

This is the single fact that I think turns people OFF on the law of attraction. They don’t get anything in abundance, because they are still focusing on the lack.

Here are 5 tips to switch your mindset on the law of attraction, and focus on abundance.

1. Practice gratitude. The biggest way to start feeling abundance is appreciating what you already have. Yes, the bills and lack of money is tough to see through, but what do you do have that you can focus on. You have a bill coming in, meaning you have a mortgage, or car, or health, or a credit car, which is something nice, right? Be grateful for that bill, and grateful for that item. You cannot practice gratitude too much.
2. Visualize. Practice visualizing the abundance. Not only see in your mind what you want, but feel it! Make it a game. Once a day, visualize that you have $1000 cash in your pocket. How does that make you feel? What will you buy, what debt do you pay off?
3. Know this is a moment in time. Hard times don’t last. Sure – your hard time could be longer than you care to admit, but if you know that this moment that you are in is just that – a moment that is passing – you will be able to shift your thinking to better things coming toward you.
4. Better things are coming to you. This is the key belief system that is needed to focus on abundance. Whenever you feel yourself in an emotion of lack or scarcity, take a deep breath, and tell yourself “Better things are coming my way”. Keep repeating that.
5. Remove LACK thinking. Lack and scarcity are some of biggest inhibitors of the law of attraction. Start observing your thoughts, and whenever lack or scarcity come in, quick note them – what caused them and why are they there – then switch the thinking.

What is the Law of Compensation?

The law of compensation basically states that you will be compensated for your actions. Similar to the law of cause and effect, what you do, affects what you get. What you sow, so shall you reap.

But this isn’t about money. That is where most people get the wrong idea about this law. Sure – compensation will come in the form of money sometimes, but this is EVERYTHING in your life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said in his essay title “compensation”, each person is compensated in like manner for that which he or she has contributed. More precisely, he says

The whole of what we know, is a system of compensations. Ever defect in one manner is made up in another. Every suffering is rewarded; every sacrifice is made up. Every debt is paid.

He wrote this in 1852! A great essay if you ever look to see how far the power of the universal laws goes.

Why the Law of Compensation is important?

The law of compensation is important because you get in return, what you give.

Efforts. Contributions. Love. Joy. Hate. Resentment. Whatever you give, you get. You will get compensated for something – whether positive or negative is up to you.

Money doesn’t matter here – in fact, money is probably the worst thing to try to get compensated on. Although it does work, this law of compensation is more along the lines of feelings, thoughts, ideas, etc.

Spread more love, and more love will be returned to you.

Spread more happiness, and happiness will be returned to you.

Spread more hate, and more hate will be returned to you.

Spread more resentment in your marriage, and more resentment in your marriage will be returned to you.

Spread more wealth, and more wealth will be returned to you.

That is what the law of compensation is all about. Like the law of cause and effect and the law of attraction (most every law of the universe in fact), whatever you sow, so shall you reap.

This is important because if you are getting compensated for something in your life, it is what you are throwing out. Every single time.

Every. Single. Time.

Think your boss is giving you a hard time at work? I’d bet you are giving others a hard time.

Think your wife resents your marriage? I’d bet you resent her as well.

Think that money is hard to come by and you need to hold onto it? I’d bet you never get money.

Think that your job is wonderful and fulfilling? Think that your marriage is one of the best strongholds you have? Think that money is abundant and ever-flowing? Guess what you will get?

How to use the Law of Compensation

To use the law of compensation to your advantage, you have to do mostly what you do with other universal laws – watch your thoughts.

1. Think about what you are currently being compensated for. Look at all aspects of your life. What are you getting?
2. Think about what you are contributing to. Part of the law is you get compensated for what you contribute. Look at the effort, thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and other items you are putting out there.
3. GIVE. Without thinking of being compensated. And again – this isn’t about money. Give more love, hope, kindness, thoughtfulness, happiness, all the good feelings and vibrations – give without anything being returned. Watch it be returned.

There you have it. The law of compensation – one of the 12 universal laws. Use it – and watch your life soar!
