Some even believe the universe can deliver your wishes to your front door if you merely ask in the proper manner. Maybe this is true, maybe not. <strong><em>But there is one law in the universe that works very reliably: the law of cause and effect.<\/em><\/strong> This idea is easy to prove.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>If you drop something heavy over your foot, it will fall and hurt your foot. If you follow the directions accurately to make a cake, you\u2019re guaranteed to receive a cake at the end. Even Buddhism covers the topic of cause and effect thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The law of cause and effect may be the most universal law of all.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>How the law of cause and effect can help you:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<ol type=\\\"1\\\"><li><strong>Your actions are ultimately the controlling factors.<\/strong> This is great news. All you have to do is take the appropriate actions and you\u2019ll get the results you desire. Thoughts can dictate your actions, but the power of your thoughts is <em>only<\/em> seen when you take action.<strong><br \/><br \/><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Success and failure aren\u2019t personal.<\/strong> If you bake a cake, the cake turns out the same, regardless of your education, skin color, religion, or favorite sports team. Mixing the proper ingredients in the proper amounts and baking for the proper duration at the proper temperature are the only factors that matter.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>You aren\u2019t doomed to be a failure at anything.<\/em><\/strong> If you follow the success recipe for any endeavor in life, you\u2019ll be successful.<strong><br \/><br \/><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Most outcomes are quite logical.<\/strong> Over time, you reap what you sow. If you\u2019re kind to people, you can expect that most people will be kind to you. Mistreating people on a regular basis yields different results.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<ul><li>Eating too many cakes brings obvious results, too.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Preparing and studying for exams brings good results. The failure to do so brings opposite results.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong><em>It doesn\u2019t matter if you believe the universe is out to punish you. The outcome from your actions will still be the same.<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p>All of this suggests that thoughts aren\u2019t relevant. However, that\u2019s not exactly true. While you can successfully bake a cake while holding thoughts that your cake will never bake properly, you won\u2019t try if your thoughts are too negative. <strong><em>Having the appropriate thoughts makes the appropriate actions possible.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Negative thoughts can be a blocker to taking advantage of the law of cause and effect.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Making the law of cause and effect work for you:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<ol type=\\\"1\\\"><li><strong>Understand the cause and effect relationships in your area of interest.<\/strong> What actions are most likely to lead to the results you desire? Do some research and be certain. Find the those who are knowledgeable in your area and ask questions.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Take the appropriate actions.<\/strong> <strong><em>Remind yourself that if you take the proper actions, your results are guaranteed.<\/em><\/strong> Monitor your thoughts and ensure they\u2019re not holding you back.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Keep going.<\/strong> Consistently taking the actions that have led others to success will carry you to the same destination. Expect that success will take time. Trust that your actions will be enough. Perseverance is powerful.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<p>Even if success has eluded you in the past, you can rely on the law of cause and effect to hold true. <strong><em>Focus on taking the actions that lead to your desired outcome.<\/em><\/strong> Remember, no one has ever followed a cake recipe and received an apple pie from their efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>You get the results you deserve. Avoid letting someone fool you into believing that wishful thinking will hand you a cake!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many self-help gurus believe your thoughts alone are sufficient to bring about meaningful change in your life.
