The 6 Laws of Mental Strength And Personal Success

In my complimentary report “7 Powerful Secrets to Creating a Warrior Mindset” I go over in more detail about The 6 Laws of Mental Strength and how they affect your personal success.

I’m going to give an overview for those that have not read the report yet…and a review for those that have.

I find it helpful…at least for myself, to go back and review these laws on a regular basis’s.  You see whether you are aware of these laws or not doesn’t matter…they are still at work in your life and have a tremendous effect on achieving your personal goals and reaching peak performance in your area of interest.

These laws are like any other Natural/Universal Law, you can’t see the “law”, but you do see the result of the law…the affect.   Remember, just because you can’t see gravity doesn’t mean it’s not affecting your life.

So here are The 6 Laws of Mental Strength

1. Thoughts are Things and Energy – This has been proven scientifically.  We have EEG’s, brain probes and other scientific instruments to read the energy in our thoughts.  So think about this…if thoughts are real energy – which they are – what else in nature is real energy?  Electricity, moving objects (kinetic energy), objects resting (potential energy), heat…etc.  All these have energy and with they can be use constructively or destructively – how are you using your thoughts?

1. The Mind is Like a Radio Station – Sending and Receiving Thoughts All The Time – Just like a 2-way radio can both transmit and receive our mind also sends and receives thoughts.  If you tune you radio to a specific station, let’s say the news.  You’ll receive all the messages about disperse and tragedy.  If however you focus or “tune” to a station that has a bit more uplifting message, that’s what you’ll get.  The key here is you receive what you are tuned into receiving.  The opposite is true as well.  If you are constantly worried about sickness, disease and poverty you will be sending out those messages and someone who is “tuned” to that same station will connect with you.  And you wonder why you’re surrounded by such negative people?  What station are you tuned into?

1. Thoughts that Thought With Emotion are Magnetized and Attract Like Thoughts – Ever wake up in the morning and stub your toe?  How was the rest of the day?  Not so good right?  This is because as soon as you stubbed your toe your mind was flooded with all sorts of non-supportive thoughts (to having a good day).  One thought lead to another and to another…and so on.   This happen when we get into an argument with someone.  The thoughts we think (during this high energy exchange) attracts all sorts of negative thoughts from the past.  The problem is that we do this with ourselves internally. We can have a thought of “How am I going to pay the bills” If this thought has enough emotion behind it, it will cascade into many, many, many other negative thoughts.  The good news is the opposite is true as well.  Stop for a moment and think of a puppy playing around.  Did a smile come to your face?  Did other “kind and gentle” thoughts follow?  Well unless you don’t like puppies I suspect you did, didn’t you?  So….which thoughts do you want to energize?

1. You are Always Experiencing Thoughts, You Can Either Accept Them or Dismiss Them – This law is about personal power.  You and only you are the thinker of your thoughts.  You and only you are the receiver of your thoughts. If you don’t like the thought….throw it away.  They are your thought for gosh sakes!   This law is SO crucial for personal success…this law is about taking responsibility for your thoughts, actions and results…after all thoughts are real energy right?

1. You Have the Power and Ability to Think any Thought You Want  – This law dovetails  right into the preceding law.  If you don’t like the thoughts you are thinking…think different ones.  You are the thinker of the thought…you are the dreamer of the dream.  Make it a magnificent one!  As the last two lines in the poem Invictus say “I am the master of my fate:  I am the captain of my soul.”

1. The Inner-World and Outer-World are Connected and You Live in Both at The Same Time – We have the Inner world of thoughts, emotions, beliefs and values, judgments  and the Outer world of circumstances, effects, results.  Our Inner world absolutely affects our Outer world …thoughts are real energy.  And we know that our Outer world affects out Inner world.  We all have experienced some news over the past month that created an undesirable emotion and feeling within us.  We you think about achieving personal success on the Inner world and think it with emotion…we get success in the Outer world.  When we get personal success in the Outer world we think and feel success in the Inner world.

So now you have a basic understanding of the fundamental mental strength laws…how are you going to use them?

Contemplation:

I’d like to give a few contemplation exercises for this week.  Contemplation is when you sit and think about a single thought and it’s implication to your life.  You take one single idea and look at it for every angle, turn it around, upside down…you take this thought and deeply think about it’s implication on your life.

I would suggest as a personal goal to one of these thoughts per day and spend at least 3 times a day for minutes of 5 minuets sitting in contemplation.

• I have a remarkable instrument of power (your mind) that is changing my life now that I’m learning how to use it.

• My personal vibration determines the conditions and situations that happen to me and my beliefs create my personal vibration.

• My power to think thoughts is my power to create my life & I have the power to think whatever thought I choose.

By taking time contemplate the above ideas you will start a new way of thinking. And when you think differently, you act differently…and when you act differently you get different results.  And you do want different results don’t you?

If this post a created a sense of empowerment, hope and anticipation to create your personal success and a more empowering way to live, pick up a copy of “Develop the Mental Strength of Warrior.” It goes into much more detail with exercises and tips on how you can control your thoughts…hence your life.

Much of my education on mental strength comes from many sources including NLP, 9 Gates Mystery School, John Kehoe, Science of Mind, Book of 5 Rings and numerous other areas. The interesting thing about “personal development” is that much of the material has been covered over and over, just put into different “packages.” I hope that my repackaging will aid you.
