Life Works When You Do

Copyright (c) 2012 Scott F Paradis

When asking someone for the time of day the last thing you want to know is how a clock works. You really are looking for a simple answer. While considering the inner workings of a time piece may not be necessary to the task at hand, there are some things in life it is to your advantage understanding how they function. Knowing how life works - how dreams become reality, how fears are overcome, how to secure your heart's desire - top that list.

Life works. You just have to know how. Life operates in a predictable, deliberate, well-intentioned way - in a way you can learn, understand, and master.

Once you learn how life works you can achieve anything. You become the master of your destiny, the captain of your ship. You can become the purveyor of great wisdom and the doer of great deeds. Knowing how life works allows you to control the means to prosperity, the means to understanding, the means to love and fulfillment.

To know how life works is phenomenal. Knowing how life works you recognize that the possibilities and the potential of your life are truly limitless.

So how does life work?

Life operates by means of three fundamental principles: life intends to grow; thoughts become things; and reward is proportional to contribution.

The first of these three principles is a force pushing all life ever forward. That force, that purpose is larger than you, larger than me, larger than us. It moves all creation in a grand unfolding. Life intends to grow. And though elements of life endure cycles of birth, growth, fulfillment, and decline, the inexorable march is toward greater expression, greater reach - more life.

The second fundamental principle is the core power of an individual. Thoughts becomes things. Thought is an energy from the universe shaping life's expression. Thought energy is a real force - a force that can be used well or employed poorly. Thought is the seed of creation. Creation manifests through imagination and through action. Thought applied with enough focus gathers the means of its expression automatically.

Thoughts become things through conception and manual labor - that is through the flowering of an idea and the act of building the physical result - and even more wondrously, through the culmination of unseen forces attracting a reality that conforms to the prescribed intentions. We literally, by our thoughts and actions, create the world we encounter. We, through thought, are the grand architects of our own lives.

It absolutely matters what you think, what you think about, and what you focus on. The energy you focus in your thoughts expresses in your experience.

The final principle - reward is proportional to contribution - is perhaps the most difficult of the fundamental principles of success to embrace. You see, you create automatically just by being in the world - thinking, feeling, and acting. Your efforts produce immediate and tangible results. The challenge is, to achieve consistently positive results requires consistently positive effort. To achieve grander expressions of life requires grander effort. Reward is proportional to contribution. Few people understand and are willing to put forth the effort required to achieve consistently exceptional results.

You have, at your command, the powers of the universe. Life intends to grow. Your choice is to support life's effort or struggle vainly in an attempt to resist. The tools you have available are your thoughts, your feelings, and your capacity to act. To make the most of life, to embrace how life truly works you must work in concert with these unseen forces. Your efforts - your thoughts, your words, and your deeds - are meant to promote more life. Growing requires effort. Life works when your do.
