Action and re-action are equal and opposite. “What goes around comes around.” “People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.” The Law of Cause and Effect basically says that what you put out comes back to either haunt you or help you. This law combines with the Law of Multiplication to dramatically impact our success. What we put out gets multiplied at least ten...

When we have become too comfortable and stop growing, our world feels like a wasteland. We must allow new life and the budding new hero within us to take a new jour...
