Applying The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success to your daily life - by Deepak Chopra

Law of Pure Potentiality:
Get in touch with the field of pure potentiality by taking time each day to be silent, to just Be. Sit alone in a silent meditation at least twice a day for approximately 30-minutes each time.

Take time each day to commune with nature and to silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. Watch the sunset, listen to the sound of the ocean or stream or simply smell the fragrance of a flower. In the ecstasy of your own silence, you will enjoy the life throb of ages, the field of pure potentiality and unbounded creativity.

Practice non-judgment by judging nothing that occurs and constantly remind yourself to not judge.

Law of Giving:
Where you go or whoever you encounter, bring them a gift - a gift of compliment, a flower or a prayer.

Gratefully receive gifts that life has to offer - gifts of nature: sunlight, the sound of birds singing or spring showers or the first snow of winter.

Make a commitment to keep wealth circulating in your life by giving and receiving life's most precious gifts: the gifts of caring, affection, appreciation, and love. Wish someone happiness, joy and laughter.

Law of Karma of Cause & Effect:
Witness the choices you make in each moment and in the mere witnessing of these choices, bring them to your conscious awareness. Know that the best way to prepare for any moment in the future is to be fully conscious in the present.

Whenever you make a choice, ask yourself these two questions:

1. What are the consequences of this choice that I am making?
2. Will this choice bring fulfillment and happiness to me and also to those who are affected by this choice?

Ask your heart for guidance and be guided by its message of comfort or discomfort. If the choice feels comfortable, plunge ahead. If it feels uncomfortable, pause and see the consequences of your action with your inner vision. This guide will enable you to make spontaneously correct choices for yourself and those around you.

Law of Least Effort:
Practice acceptance. Learn to accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. Know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. Do not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment.

Having accepted things as they are, take responsibility for your situation, events and problems. Know that taking responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for your situation. Also know that every problem is an opportunity in disguise, and this alertness to opportunities allows you to take this moment and transform it into a greater benefit.

Today, let your awareness remain established in defenselessness. Relinquish the need to defend your point of view and feel no need to convince or persuade others to accept your points of view. Remain open to all points of view and not be rigidly attached to any one of them.

Law of Intention and Desire:
Make a list of all your desires and carry it with you wherever you go. Look at the list before you go into your silent meditation and before you go to sleep at night as well as when you wake-up in the morning.

Release your list of desires and surrender it to the womb of creation, trusting that when things don't seem to go your way, there is a reason and that the cosmic plan has designs for you a much grander than those you have conceived.

Remind yourself to practice present-moment awareness in all your actions. Refuse to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the quality of your attention in the present moment. Accept the present as is, and manifest the future through your deepest, most cherished intentions and desires.

Law of Detachment:
Commit yourself to detachment by allowing yourself and those around you the freedom to be as they are. Do not rigidly impose your idea of how things should be or force solutions on problems. Participate in everything with detached involvement.

Factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of your experience. In your unwillingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously emerge out of the problem, confusion, disorder and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure you will feel because uncertainty is your path to freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, you will find security.

Step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate the excitement that can occur when you remain open to an infinity of choices. When you step into the field of all possibilities, you will experience all the fun, adventure, magic and mystery of life.

Law of Purpose in Life:
Nurture the god or goddess that lies deep within your soul. Pay attention to the spirit within you that animates both your body and mind and awaken yourself to the deep stillness within your heart.

Make a list of your unique talents and list all the things that you love to do while expressing your unique talents. When you express your unique talents and use them in the service of humanity, you lose track of time and create abundance in your life as well as in the lives of others.

Ask yourself daily, "How can I serve?" and "How can I help?" The answers to these questions will allow you to help and serve your fellow human beings with love.
