Cause and Effect

This law cause and effect, is one that keeps me on the straight and narrow road. You see what this law is saying is what ever energy you put out into the world is the energy that will come back to you.

Have you ever noticed days that seem to be so messed up everything seems to be going wrong. You stub your toe, hit your head, late for an appointment, and heavens knows what else could happen as this all was within the first hour of waking up. This is the law working. Let me give you an example...

Before I had started using this law I found myself all alone. I had no friends my wife couldn't stand being around me, and even my kids didn't want to be in my life.

I lived this way for many years blaming others, feeling extremely depressed, wishing someone else could fix things for me. This was the beginning of seeing the universal law of cause and effect in action. Feeling depressed and lonely only brought more depression and loneliness.

I found the more I put out into the world effected every part of my life. The breaking point for me was the day I went to a seminar on living a successful life. Before the seminar started I was with about 75 to 100 others. All of them talking to each other and laughing and enjoying themselves.

Me on the other hand sat there, arms folded, watching others and wondering why the seminar had not started, as it was already a half hour late. I found myself blaming, angry, and judging others.

Just at that point the group putting on the seminar came into the room. They all had that smile of a seminar leader, with high energy, clapping and laughing bringing many there to total excitement. I just sat there judging them! Then it happened!

One of the leaders said "We want to show you how you show up!" and then proceeded to say everyone stand up and walk right up to the person that bothers you the most! Walk right up to their face and stare right into their eyes.

At that point I had four people run, not walk over to me and get right in my face. I was horrified! I'm a nice guy, why don't these people like me? Then they all got to say why they were turned off by me.

In short it was because I was angry, depressed, and full of judgment that they could feel. Bringing to me the cause and effect to hit me right between the eyes.

From that day forward I decided I would show up with love, and keep judgment out of my mind. I decided I would never bring about a cause that could effect me that I didn't choose myself. We all have choice, which is the cause.

With this law you have total control at what effects come into your life. Our thoughts bring about actions and these actions bring about the effects we see in our lives.

I'm not saying that if you keep love as you main focus that your life will be full of only love. But you will find that it does go a lot smoother. I find that instead of finding the reason why something is going out of whack in your life, to find the goodness within it and you'll be a thousand times happier.

If you keep open to what you are putting into the universe you will find that you do put a much better energy out, bringing in effects that our more full of joy.

Here are the steps I take when my day seems to be out of alignment.

Step One: Stop and notice what is going on!

Step Two: Do not judge anything about it, just begin to notice it.

Step Three: Ask the question, "What thought did I have to begin this process?"

Step Four: What could I do to except what is going on and begin to direct it into a better energy?

Step Five: What part of my life is going well and place all your energy into that energy.

Step Six: Find the place where you were the cause and change it so that the effect changes.

Step Seven: Now that you found the cause and effect, Celebrate!

I found myself for many years blaming everyone else for the things that happened in my life. When I discovered this law I found it at first disturbing. To think I was responsible for everything that happened to me.

But after I let go of my ego I found it exciting. I found that if this law were true then I could change everything that happens in my life. This was so true!

Remember I told you I was lonely and depressed, always feeling angry. Well using the cause and effect law my life has changed completely. I now have...

• Well over 100 close friends
• A joy filled life full of happiness
• The ability to be alone for hours and days
• A passion for life
• Most importantly a LOVE FOR MYSELF!

This is only a short list of what cause and effect has done for me. I could go on and on, yet I feel it is more important that you find your causes and change how they effect you life!
