if you've been here for a while or know me personally, you have definitely heard me talk about
the seven spiritual laws of success by deepak chopra. i read this book about four or five years ago when i needed it the most and it completely transformed my perspective on life. the seven spiritual laws taught me so much about myself and debunked so many of the myths i was conditioned to believe about success, abundance, and so much more. i still reference it and practice every single law since i've learned about it. while every law in this book contains utter importance, today we were called to talk about the law of least effort— which simply means to accept, surrender and release. do the work. spiritually. physically. mentally. because the work must be done. but do it without force. and understand that everything will work out for you because the universe makes no mistakes.
in today's episode we covered:
acceptance: accepting people, situations, circumstances and events as they occur. everything is as it should be. the universe never misses. even when it feels like she missed. she didn’t. everything that you have experienced in the past led up to this exact moment. this moment is as it is because the entire universe is as it is. once you’ve accepted things as they are, you are ready to take responsibility for your situation and all the events you see as problems.
responsibility: when you have accepted this circumstance, event or problem, responsibility then means the ability to have a creative response to the situation as it is now. all problems are rooted in opportunity and this allows you to take the moment and transform it into something unfathomable. there is a hidden meaning in everything you experience and this hidden meaning is serving your evolution. surrender the fight and see the opportunity.
defenselessness: you’ve relinquished the need to convince or persuade others of your point of view. once you’ve relinquished the need to persuade others of your point of view, you will gain access to so much energy that had been previously wasted. when you become defensive, blame others, and do not accept and surrender to the moment, your life meets resistance. any time you encounter resistance, recognize that if you force the situation, resistance will only increase. release.
