The better story to tell yourself is “I am not seeking validation from the outside. No one has higher standards for me than myself”

What’s the meaning of it all? Have you found why life is full of meaning?

Setting a clear intention, influences attention and increases the likelihood of achieving goals. The mind, likened to a garden, produces thoughts that shape reality. A trained mind, focused on positive intentions, is like a well-tended garden.

According to The Law of Exchange, success and financial return are directly proportional to the value one provides to others. By focusing on adding value and being of service, one becomes a valuable person and attracts prosperity and abundance. This principle, exemplified by Earl Nightingale, Zig Ziglar, and Seth Godin, emphasizes the importance of genuine care and generosity in building, meaningful connections and achieving success.

In a society where unhealthy and unhappy individuals, outnumber healthy, happy ones, being well adjusted to the norm is not a measure of health. To thrive, one should break free from conventionality and embrace in an iconoclastic mindset, deviating from the unhealthy majority. By adopting this mindset, individuals can forge a new path and create a positive impact.

Isaac Newton‘s Laws of Motion, explaining how objects move, are applied to human behavior by Earl Nightingale in “The Strangest Secret.” Nightingale emphasizes the importance of action, stating that results are directly proportional to effort. The better story to tell yourself is “I pay whatever the price to move toward my goal.“

Olympian Milt Campbell kept his goals constantly before him. You are a goal-oriented creature. This is The Law of Telos. You want to reach your destination. You feel you have a destiny. Just as a ship needs a destination to reach its port, you need goals to guide your journey.

Earl Nightingale‘s “The Strangest Secret“ illustrates The Law of Correspondence, stating that our outer world reflects our inner thoughts and beliefs. By intentionally cultivating positive thoughts and beliefs, we can shape our external reality and take control of our lives. This principle emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and personal responsibility in achieving desired outcomes.

Epictetus, a former slave, taught the concept of “The Law of Dominion,” emphasizing the power of controlling one’s thoughts. While external circumstances are beyond our control, we have sovereignty over our minds.

Truett Hanes, a runner from Utah, has gained viral attention by running marathons in jeans, a unique marketing strategy that highlights the power of standing out. His approach, akin to the concept of a “purple cow,“ demonstrates that being remarkable doesn’t require being the best, but rather finding a way to differentiate oneself.
