Success, the achievement of desired objectives, the accomplishment of set goals, victory over the competition and or triumph over enemies is one of the driving forces of life. In the search of success, men and women have ruined their lives and obtained the exact opposite of their desires and pursuits largely because of lack of knowledge. There are laws or secrets of success in every endeavor of life. Even on a general note, there are laws or secrets that govern living a successful life.
The challenge of man is learning and applying these laws in their daily life. Here are some of the laws of success that have been largely ignored. These laws are, however, immutable and therefore, should not be ignored.
Integrity - Integrity also means honesty, truthfulness, honor, uprightness and reliability. Integrity is a major hallmark of the successful. Without being judged honorable and reliable by those you do business with, it is difficult to maintain their support, loyalty and patronage. You may succeed in getting a few things by deceit, but it would remain a few things. Those things obtained by deceit or dishonorable ways would also go with the wind. Integrity is so critical to success in life that it is even required to be able to sustain success after it has been achieved.
Discipline - In this contest, discipline also means order, restraint, obedience, authority, self-control, regulation and strictness. The opposite of discipline is chaos. Nothing can be achieved in a state of chaos. Orderliness is required for the creation, development and sustenance of any endeavor or project. Success itself has a power component. Obedience has a direct correlation to power. It takes discipline to be obedient to established authority, to control ones emotions, temperament and follow regulation. It takes self-control to resist the temptations brought to us be our appetites and passions. It takes discipline to avoid debt and shameful acts. It takes discipline to rise after a fall.
Chastity - The law of chastity states that sexual intercourse and all the associated activities are reserved for a legal and lawful marriage state. Sexual intercourse between a man and woman who are legally and lawfully wedded is ordained of God. To be chaste means to be pure, innocent, uncorrupted, virtuous, unblemished, unsullied, spotless, and faithful. These virtues support success in life. When someone is chaste, he or she is open to receive inspiration and guidance from the ultimate source of all knowledge, even the Spirit of God.
Tithing - A tithe is one tenth of one's income, salary, increase, or profit contributed to a Church or any organization from which one draws spiritual strength. The law of the tithe was first brought to the knowledge of the world by the Judeo-Christian scriptures. Tithing which is the payment of one tenth of one's income to a religious or spiritual organization is a proven law of success. It is one of the mostly ignored laws of success. Those who are tithed can feel the peace and freedom that comes from giving. They open up the opportunity to receive more according to the laws of nature. Personal experiences have shown that this law is unfailing.
Sabbath Day Observance- The law of the Sabbath requires that people observe a day of rest in the week during which they would offer their oblations, devotion and service to their creator. It is a day to study and apply the principles taught in the scriptures. Those who observe the law of the Sabbath are blessed with opportunity to rise to places importance in their communities and organizations. They are blessed with resources to feed themselves and their children.
Fast Offering - This is an offering made by religious adherents for providing for the poor and needy in the Society. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, members who are healthy and can are encouraged to observe a day of fast once a month. Those who fast go without food, drink and other pleasures for the period of two meals a day, usually from 6am to 6pm on the chosen day. Fasting is a period of prayer and devotion to God. It used by people in need to focus on pleading for help from the infinite source of all powers - the Creator. Fast offering is paid by quantifying the value of two meals and donating it to appropriate priesthood authority that receives and administers it for use of the poor and needy. Those who pay past offering are givers and givers never lack what they need.
These laws have been proven by experience to work in all conscious and unconscious experiments. Try them and see for yourself.
