Dealing With People; good and bad
In the Silent Laws Of Accomplishment we explored how to deal with people, the importance of following rules and digging deep within to release the inner person. We also touched on five natural laws; control, observance, value, integrity, and development which if implemented into your life would not only propel you toward success but would give you a whole new understanding and vision of yourself.


Usually when a person seeks success they concentrate on strategy, planning, and product marketing. But as we have learned success does not necessarily mean monetary gain it could also include culture or arts. Reaching a meaningful predetermined personal goal is more likely the definition of success. In this series we will apply new rules as we focus on the inner person and the importance of wholeness in relationship to total success.

Do new rules apply?
The same rules that were applicable for our forefathers are just as powerful today. You must regain your God given powers and lift your head in the comfort in knowing you are indeed Born To Succeed. You must look into your future and visualize the results of your labor. You must see yourself as you are, your true nature, your potential and relationship with your surroundings. Become emerged in your true self and activate the dominate powers that have been waiting for you to bring them into your experience.


Facing the challenge of self recognition
Again we will challenge the inner you; the you that has gone too long without the respect you deserve. Here are five more laws that if put into practice, will most assuredly change your life. Pay attention!



1. The law of Adaptability
There are many people who simply can’t adapt to changing conditions. When new innovations are introduced they turn their heads in rejection. People who require supervision to perform basic abilities rarely further their career.


You must adapt to your changing environment. You must embrace change in order to fit in and become a leader and Inspiration to those around you. Lets face it, every situation in life requires you to adapt in some form or manner. Family, church, workplace, society, club all require you to adapt to the current conditions. I don’t mean give in, or cave in, but consider the options and adjust to the presented opportunity. Fit in, take part
in your surroundings, be active as a team player.


2. The law of Statistics
If you are not observant, there’s a good chance you will become a statistic. Short sighted people who can’t see the potential in their situation, quickly become a statistic. You’ve seen them, they are the ones that shuffle in the front door three minutes late and run out the back exactly at quitting time. Their conduct illustrates an image of bad attitude and lack of conformity which will doom them into joining the another has-beens on the roles of failure. Rejection and a life of hopelessness awaits those who never get involved.


3. The law of recognition
Everyone wants to be recognized for their accomplishments and as an individual. Do something so people will remember you. Don’t be outlandish or abusive, reach out to people in a kind and comforting way. If it’s your doctor, boss or anyone you want to be remembered by, greet them with warmth and caring. If appropriate, give them a personal gift. Something special you made, just for them. Every time they see that special gift, they will remember you and when you come into their presence, they will remember who you are. You have developed a closeness, a relationship beyond the traditional boundaries. I make canes, and I make a unique cane especially to give to those who I want to be remembered by. They appreciate the gesture and they remember me the next time I see them. They open up, to a deeper connection and more meaningful relationship.


4. The law of Manipulation
Many people go through life manipulating others for personal gain. Manipulation is a deceptive act and as such is destructive in nature. People manipulate each other without realizing it. It’s a form of getting one’s own way. Coming out on top, so to speak. A child sulks, a spouse gives the silent treatment, a boss threatens, all are ways to control a particular situation. Girls manipulate boys because they know they can. Boys manipulate girls for dominance. Husbands manipulate wives because they need to be the leader. Wives manipulate husbands because they need position. Everyone is manipulating someone to sustain their own uniqueness. Don’t fall into this trap. Manipulation is not a trait of a winner.


5. The force of Character
Who are you? What lies at the heart of your existence? How are you portraying yourself to others? Are you a joy to be around or do people shun you? Character is the outward expression of an inward life force. The natural thing to do is mirror Godlike qualities in your mannerisms but, we do not live in a natural environment. Our environment is contaminated and we are also. Unfortunately our character is derived from a world point of view. You must be radiant, caring and outward in your involvement with others.

Wealth is only a mindset
It’s not about wealth or fame, but rather it’s about you and who you are. You are at the center of this series of articles. We could go into the mechanics of success but it would do no good without you as a receptor. Perhaps you are already a super good person, and if you are I commend you for it. Unfortunately most people are motivated by outside stimuli and they wither and rot inside. They can’t understand why they aren’t happy. Why they are continually faced with problems with family and relationships. Fix your eyes on your inner self and approach life like today is your last day. What are you going to do to hold close each precious moment, each relationship, each experience?

It’s the little things that matter
Treasure the taste of fudge or the glimmer of the sun on water or the many other things that make life worth living. When you see your child take his/her first step or feel the warmth of your spouse next to you when you roll over in the bed, embrace these moments because they are what it is all about.
