Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

“True success is ... the experience of the miraculous. It is the unfolding of the divinity within us.” ~Deepak Chopra
 
One of the teachings from the Chopra Center that has positively impacted my life is the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. 

Dr. Deepak Chopra wrote the book Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams over 20 years ago, but the laws are just as pertinent now as they were when he wrote them.  Deepak’s teachings are refined into seven simple, yet powerful, principles based on nature that can be implemented into your life with ease.  When I learn something new, I usually want to try and implement everything in my life at once and it becomes overwhelming and then I lose focus.  What I love about the Seven Spiritual Laws is that each day has a focus.  For example, Monday is the Law of Giving and Receiving.  So, on Monday’s I focus my attention on giving and receiving in all possible ways, but on Tuesday, my focus moves to The Law of Karma or cause and effect.  Having practiced the laws for years now, there is a flow of the laws between all of the days, but having a focus on each day reminds me of the importance of each law.  My favorite laws are The Law of Least Effort and the Law of Detachment because they have helped me to realize that I achieve the most with the least amount of effort and that I can set my intentions, but I need to detach from how they are achieved.
 
For the next seven weeks, I will share about each of the spiritual laws and my thoughts, feelings and experiences about them.  I hope that you can begin or continue to implement these laws into your life.  To give you a preview, here are the laws:

• Monday - The Law of Giving
• Tuesday - The Law of Karma or Cause and
• Wednesday - The Law of Least Effort
• Thursday - The Law of Intention and Desire
• Friday -  The Law of Detachment
• Saturday - The Law of Dharma or Purpose in Life 
• Sunday - The Law of Pure Potentiality

 
Prior to beginning this journey, there are several questions you should answer for yourself:

• What does being successful mean to you?
• In what areas of life do you consider yourself successful and why?
• How have your views of success changed over your lifetime?
