The idea of cause and effect has been shared and explored by the Buddha and scientists alike. The idea is simple: actions have effects, and effects are the result of actions.
For instance, saving money leads to a certain effect. Spending money has a different set of effects.
This simple idea is not challenging to understand, but it is easy to misjudge the power it holds. The right action will bring the results you desire.
Use the law of cause and effect to your best advantage:
1. Your results are the product of your actions.
This is great news. This means you have responsibility for the results you are creating in your life. Everything that has happened, good or bad, is largely your own doing. You are a powerful creature with the power to shape your environment and experience.
2. You can create new results by changing your actions.
If you are unsatisfied with your results, you can change them by choosing a new course of action. The results you desire only require taking the right actions. It is only necessary to correctly identify those actions and then to have the courage to do them.
3. Review your past results.
Look at the best and worst times of your life. Identify the actions that led to those good and not so good results. Whether it was winning a race, dealing with a bad relationship, or breaking your arm, think about your contribution to those situations. What was your part in creating those results?
- How can you apply that information to improve your life now? How can you use that experience to avoid reliving those negative results?
4. It is not personal.
The law of cause and effect is based on the idea that your actions lead to your results. There is not a mystical force working for you or against you. The universe does not play favorites.
5. Identify the actions that will lead the effect you desire.
If you want to lose weight, what do you need to do? What do you need to avoid doing? Exercising daily has a certain effect. Eating a bowl of ice cream before bed also has an effect. What “cause” do you need to perform to get the effect you want?
6. Take massive action.
Action leads to results. The only way to get great results is to take the optimal amount of action. Figure out what the most important actions are and get busy. You will find that the most successful people find a way to do what they need to do to get the results they desire.
7. Avoid giving up.
If your actions are the cause that lead to a desired effect, it does not make sense to ever give up. You might need to find a different action to take, but action is the answer to getting what you want. Learn to persevere even when things are not going your way.
8. Take credit for your successes and failures.
When things are going well, celebrate. You deserve it. When things are going poorly, recognize that you need to find a more effective way to do things if you want different results.
Use the law of cause and effect to create the life you desire. If you are not getting the results you want in life, you are not taking the right actions. It is that simple.
Take the best course of action you can determine and note the results. Keep adjusting your actions until the results please you. There is no way to fail if you do not quit.
The law of cause and effect is a powerful ally on your road to success.
