Resist and It Will Persist Is there something in your life that you are resisting? The old saying, "What you resist will persist" is always at play. It is a potent force in both enhancing and debilitating ways. In my life, I have learned the root cause of anything I resist is either fear of change or misdirected focus. Others say, "You haven't learned your lesson." In any case, the solution has always been: 1) Identify the unwanted issue that is persisting. 2) Identify what you want instead of the problem issue. 3) Summon the courage to give up the fight. Accept that you have learned the lesson being taught. Close the door as soon as possible. What you resist will persist. Sometimes the only way to win the fight is to give up the fight.

Focusing on Your Twenty Percent
If you’re like many folks, you have so much on your plate that it’s challenging to keep up— forget about moving closer to your goal. 
There’s good news: you are not alone.
Everyone lives according to the 80/20 rule, which almost everybody has heard about. The Pareto Principle states that 80% of outcomes result from 20% of all causes of any event.
However, to get what you want in life, there is a slight twist to the equation that says,
80% of the things you focus on have nothing to do with what you ultimately want. They are simply the busyness of life.
20% of the things you focus on in your life have everything to do with getting what you want and will yield the most significant return for your efforts.
When you eliminate, delegate, or ignore the 80% and hyper-focus on the 20%, the math changes, and suddenly, you are living your best life 100% of the time.
Focusing on your best 20% changes everything.

Using Natural Law to Be Your Best
Personal growth is a journey. It can be a lot of work. It’s also more fun to follow the rules of ‘Natural Law.’
1) The Law of Vibration states that thoughts are things. They are one of the most potent forms of energy. What you think about, you bring about. Pay attention to your thoughts.
2) According to the Law of Polarity, nothing exists without an opposite. Love, hate, hot, cold, yin, and yang. Opposites are different forms of the same thing. Embrace them.
3) The Law of Rhythm states life is a pendulum. What swings left must swing right.  
4) Every effect must have a cause; every cause must have an effect. That’s the Law of Cause and Effect. Everything in life is perpetual and never-ending.
You can speed up your success by understanding how these always-present forces are at work in your life.

Your Desire Comes From Their Desire
Not a day passes by without someone asking, "How do I get another person to help me get what I want?"
Persuading others is one key to getting what you want in life—and here's a big secret: It's NOT about you!
You'll get what you want faster by focusing on how you can help others solve their problem - and "Ladder of Desire."
This is how it works:
1) Most folks lecture others. That's a low level of communication and rarely builds a real connection.
2) A more practical solution is to show others the way and explain how to solve their problem. 
3) The most potent way is to offer to take care of their dilemma. That is the top rung of the 'Ladder of Desire.' Everybody wants their problems to disappear. Make that happen, and you'll be a Hero!
When you follow this approach, you make friends, prove your value, and are more likely to have your favor returned. Do good first.

Why Next Week Begins This Week
I have a saying -
“Next year begins THIS year. Next month begins THIS month. Next week begins THIS week.”
If you want to stay on track, accomplish your goals, and enjoy life more - you MUST take control of your calendar. It’s easier than you think:
1) Life will come at you FAST! Schedule any significant and can’t-miss life events at least one year in advance. Put it on the calendar and block it out. You can always change your mind.
2) Hold your space. Decide in advance what you will be doing with your days. When will you work on projects? When will you see clients? When will you have fun? 
3) Conclude each week by securing your schedule for the next - and adhere to it. Consistency is key. 
The future is always brighter when your day-to-day focus fulfills your goals this week. Focus, my friend. Focus.

Happy No Matter What
Would you like to be happy every day of the week? 
Maybe it's time to start thinking like a happy person.
There's no magic to being happier.
Rose-colored glasses are not required.
Just start looking at your day-to-day life the way a happy person does.
Give this a try:
1) Accept that merely being alive means encountering occasional challenges.
2) Realize that dealing with challenges is a privilege that comes with being alive.
3) Welcome frustration. That means that you are not satisfied and are beginning to make adjustments.
4) Accept responsibility for solving your challenges. Run forward and fix them as soon as possible.
5) Deal with everything that life throws at you. Get a great night's sleep. Have another great day tomorrow.
It's amazing how that kind of mindset makes most challenges never show up in the first place.
