The Law of Least Effort


Nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease . . . with carefreeness, harmony, and love. And when we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.


I will put the Law of Least Effort into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:


1. I will practice Acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.


2. Having accepted things as they are, I will take Responsibility for my situation and for all those events I see as problems. I know that taking responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for my situation (and this includes myself). I also know that every problem is an opportunity in disguise, and this alertness to opportunities allows me to take this moment and transform it into a greater benefit.


3. Today my awareness will remain established in Defenselessness. I will relinquish the need to defend my point of view. I will feel no need to convince or persuade others to accept my point of view. I will remain open to all points of view and not be rigidly attached to any one of them.
Deep Ish... This is one of the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success written by Deepak Chopra. Seriously the book takes like 1hr to read but in it holds what I believe is the true path to happiness and success. I would encourage everyone to read it. Imagine if we truly accepted things they way they were. Stop fighting against a situation or moment, it only fights you back. Acceptance defeats resistance......
