Understanding your purpose in life is one of the great keys to success in this world. After all, if you don’t know why you’re on this Earth, it will be very hard to find a satisfying path and destination. And it is impossible to be truly successful if you don’t know where you’re going or what path will make you truly happy.
If you study history you will find that the most successful people have all had a purpose in life, and their greatest successes came when pursuing or serving that purpose. Unfortunately, few of us are attuned enough to our inner selves to know what our real purpose is. Fortunately, the Law to Success can help all of us find our true purpose in life.
If you haven’t figured out your purpose by this stage of your life, it is probably going to take some serious contemplation on your part to do so now.. The best way to do that contemplation is by being alone, and being present in the moment. That means to find a place and a time where you can be alone, away from distractions like email, the telephone, music, or the TV. What you need to do is simple in concept, but not necessarily easy. Just sit quietly, by yourself, and clear your mind of all thoughts. Doing this exercise out in nature is even better, as the natural world is a soothing and revitalizing place, ideal for this kind of quiet aloneness.
Finding the job of your dreams is not impossible. Many people find rewarding careers doing exactly what they have always wanted to do. The difference is taking that leap of faith and finding that career. You may still be in college or perhaps you are looking to change careers. Why should you stay in a job that is making you miserable? The answer is: you should not! Everyone deserves to be working in a field for which they have a passion. That is where a career coach comes into play. Coaching people is their forte and they can help with certain life transitions.
A career coach is someone who can analyze your desires, strengths and weaknesses to help you decide which career field is just right for you. Your life information is given to him or her along with a list of goals that you would like to accomplish. Remember one thing before going any farther: it is not the coach’s job to achieve your dreams for you. Through the coaching process, he or she is only there to help you accomplish them yourself.
The Law to Success Mastery program consists of 8 areas, that collectively form your Life Circle. Your top priority among those 8 areas should be Health. After all, if you have great health, that makes everything else in life easier. Conversely, if you don’t have good health, everything else in your life becomes harder. Given that, let’s focus on the Health portion of your Life Circle, the part of the Law to Success program called Energy for Life.
Adrian Law, the creator of the Law to Success program, uses the electrical frequency model to classify the healthfulness of foods. In this model, everything vibrates at a particular frequency, and the higher the frequency the healthier the food. Not surprisingly, foods like chocolate cake and cheeseburgers have very low vibrational frequencies, while fruits have a higher frequency, and vegetables have the highest frequencies of all foods, making them the healthiest to eat.
Next comes drink. Adrian cites a 2002 study in the American Journal of Epidemiology that showed higher risks of fatal heart attacks when people are dehydrated. He lays out the quantity and types of drinks that you’ll want to consume to reach and maintain your best health. In particular, he warns against the dangers of drinks containing caffeine and alcohol, as these actually dehydrate you, making them harmful to your healthfulness, rather than helpful.
The DISC model of human personality types is a powerful tool for success. Your ability to identify a person’s primary DISC personality style, and to use that knowledge appropriately is the key to Adrian Law’s Platinum Rule (which is the subject of another article altogether). So what exactly is the DISC model and why should you care?
A gentleman by the name of Professor William Marsden developed the DISC model around 90 years ago. Professor Marsden concluded that there are four different behavioral styles. He also concluded that each person exhibits some of each style, but has one dominant style that influences most everything they do. Because people tend to interact best with those who are like them, recognizing a person’s DISC style enables you to interact with them more effectively. And the more successfully you interact with others, the more likely you are to get what you want out of that interaction.
The four personality styles that the professor identified are: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance (hence the acronym DISC). Each individual’s personality style has profound effects not only on the way they live their lives, but on the most successful ways for you to interact with them. For example, a person who has a primarily high-D personality will be eager to shake things up, make changes, alter things to work the way they like best. A high-S personality values stability over all else and would be likely to resist change, even when it would be beneficial to them. Unless one of them alters the way they interact, this pairing will cause a lot of stress.
