The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success summary

People spend a lot of time and energy worrying about the circumstances they find themselves in. For instance, a man might fret about being partnerless. But then, when he enters a relationship, new worries arise. Is this relationship limiting his freedom? Is he truly in love?

Thankfully, there is a solution to the problem of chronic fretting. You can simply accept your current situation.

Let’s say you’ve always dreamed of owning a Ferrari. You imagine that, once you’ve saved up and bought your dream car, your life will be happy and fulfilling. Chances are, however, that such ardent attachment to the car will only lead to your feeling terribly distressed.

Attachment to material things implies distrust of the universe – and this inevitably leads to anxiety.

If you have a large savings account then you may have received praiseworthy pats on the back from fellow materialists. But rather than saving up, a better path to success is to let your money flow into the world.

Hoarding money interrupts the universe’s natural flow of give and take.

We all know the advertising slogan, “Just do it!” Live in the moment, it tells us – seize the opportunity!

But to truly get the most out of life (rather than just doing something), it is important to consider what the most beneficial choice is when making a decision.

Did the previous blink about accepting your current situation make you anxious? Perhaps because you’re unhappy and don’t want to accept how things are? Well, don’t worry. The good news is that your thoughts have the power to change the world around you.

You can improve your quality of life by simply introducing positive intentions into your thinking.

Every human wants to shine. But, as each star has its right place in the night sky, every human must find their right place on earth. Only by doing this, and by helping others find their place, will people flourish and lead a purposeful existence.

So, ask not what the universe can do for you, but what you can do for the universe.
