The Law of Effort
The law of effort simply states that anything worth having in life requires effort, and the greater the goal the greater the required effort. The difference between those who achieve greater goals and those who don’t usually comes down to effort. Achievement comes only to those who continually give maximum effort and persist through adversity. Is your life working out the way you dreamed it would? Do you have the things you would like to have? Are you where you would like to be? Do you have the house, body, job, checking account, relationship, or character that you always wanted? If no then let's take a look at the second universal law of nature.
The Law of Choices
The law of choices states that our lives are what we choose them to be and that every circumstance is a product of these decisions. Most of us are trying to become successful, trying to become happy, or wealthy, or loved, or to gain something from life that is not presently there. These can be summed up as dreams, and the choices we make each day are either a step towards or a step away from them. This is the power of choice. The ability to know what you want in life, and then make correct choices based upon these wants, is called goal setting. Goal setting is simply making choices based upon a desired result. It is knowing where you want to go. If you are not achieving what you are capable of achieving, it is because your goals are not clearly defined. Having goals is one thing, but having a plan to achieve them is another. Your success in any project will be determined largely by your individual plan of action. When we lack self-discipline, our ability to make correct decisions based upon our needs and wants and not those of society, becomes very weak. It is essential to our personal success and happiness that we continue this chain of self-discipline, correct decision making, and self-esteem.
