Temporary Defeats

One of the books that has changed my life is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I have recently created a free Think and Grow Rich group, where we can all learn more about this powerful book together. Please join this Facebook group, by clicking here.

In Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill teaches us that “temporary defeat is not failure”.

How To Visualize

Many people find visualization a difficult exercise to do. This is because they do not realize that there are many different ways to practice visualization.

Here are 3 powerful ways you could practice today:

The Law of Success

In the 11 Forgotten Laws Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey discuss the eleventh Law of the Universe, the Law of Success.

Success is natural. Every seed that is planted succeeds in growing into a flower and every child that is born succeeds by becoming an adult. The Sun succeeds in rising and setting each day and the tidal waves succeed in following the cycle of the Moon.

This is because they all follow the physical laws of the universe. The metaphysical and spiritual laws, however, are just as precise. By following the 11 laws that we have studied, our success will be guaranteed.

Law of Obedience

In the 11 Forgotten Laws Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey discuss the tenth Law of the Universe, the Law of Obedience.

We have been conditioned to believe that the obedient way is the hard and disciplined way to success. We are taught to be obedient because we are afraid of the circumstances and results that we would otherwise get by not following the rules. Bob and Mary teach us that this paradigm is wrong.

The true seed of obedience is respect. When you respect that the laws always work and they are designed to help you, the way that you view the laws and the way in which you follow them will change. By respecting the laws, you will happily work with the laws and yield the results.

The Law of Sacrifice

In the 11 Forgotten Laws Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey discuss the ninth Law of the Universe, the Law of Sacrifice.

We have been conditioned to believe that sacrificing means giving something up or losing something. Bob Proctor tells us that this definition is inaccurate and incomplete. Sacrificing means giving up something of lesser value, for something of greater value.

The Law Of Forgiveness

In the 11 Forgotten Laws Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey discuss the eighth Law of the Universe, the Law of Forgiveness.

Of all the emotions, guilt and resentment are the most damaging to us. In a recent study, the levels of acidity in human sweat were measured from people whilst they were feeling different emotions. The samples taken whilst the subject was feeling guilty were the most acidic, followed closely by resentment.

The Law Of Non-Resistance

In the 11 Forgotten Laws Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey discuss the seventh Law of the Universe, the Law of Non-Resistance.

Bob Proctor once asked a group of young adults what the difference was between reacting and responding. A young lady gave Bob an enlightened answer. She said that reacting was out of habit, whilst you had to think about how you want to respond.

The Law of Compensation

In the 11 Forgotten Laws Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey discuss the sixth Law of the Universe, the Law of Compensation.

Although most people would associate money with this law, the truth is that we can be paid in 3 ways: Happiness, Wealth and Health. These are the 3 currencies of the universe.

The Law Of Increase

In the 11 Forgotten Laws Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey discuss the fifth Law of the Universe, the Law of Increase.

The simplest definition of this law is to call it the law of praise. Whatever you praise, grows.

Bob Proctor gave a very good example of this law in action. He was at the airport and there were sniffer dogs. When one dog found someone who was carrying an illegal item, the dog handler then gave that dog a small biscuit. By praising the dog and rewarding it this way, the dog would have an increased desire to do this next time.

The Law Of Receiving

In the 11 Forgotten Laws Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey discuss the four Law of the Universe, the Law of Receiving.

Although it is officially called the Law of Receiving, this Law should be called the Law of Giving and Receiving. This is because both are so strongly connected. Bob Proctor illustrates this in a powerful story.

As a child, Bob’s family was poor. One day, during the cold winter, Bob told his mum about one of his friends whose family was even poorer. They did not have enough money for coal for the fire.
