Universal Success Principles By Jennifer Broadley from her website at:

So the principles I’ll outline here form the basis of all success generated on the planet. These are universal laws which means that they apply to you whether or not you’re aware of them, much like gravity. Being aware is the first step to increasing your choices to raise the game in health, wealth, love and happiness, so … read on, you’re in the right place.

  1. Law of Thinking: thoughts are catalysts, shifting dreams into form. Using thought every second of every day, each of us is the creator of our own life experiences, our own reality. So if we change our thoughts, we change our world.
    “What we think, we become” Buddha
  2. Law of Abundance: All that ever was still is; and all that is will remain. There is infinite supply for each of us to create our dreams – materials, people, resources, power, energy, knowledge, passion and wealth. Body, mind, heart and soul can thrive in this life when we utilise these laws.
    “When you realise there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you” Lao Tzu
  3. Law of Expansion: Change is a constant and through it the universe intends for growth. Each of us has a unique purpose and a choice to engage with expansion or to sit it out. Committing to the journey naturally leads to the enlargement of our heart and the opening of our souls. Expansion comes in an infinite number of ways; deep thinking, experiencing, mediating, praising, sharing, collaborating, acknowledging, intending, reading, writing, coaching, mentoring … forever.
    “All change is not growth; as all movement is not forward” Ellen Glasgow
  4. Law of Attraction: thoughts, feelings, words and actions produce energies which vibrate out from us, and in turn, attract like energies towards us. What we focus on we attract. By paying attention to what is inspiring, positive and affirming, we attract back those same energies in various forms.
    “ … Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if something is excellent or praiseworthy – think on these things” Philippians 4:8
  5. Law of Responsibility: to experience success, take 100% responsibility for everything in your life, positive or challenging. Give up blaming and complaining. Think. Work out what has to change, then change it. Only when you make decisions from a place of 100% responsibility can you take charge of the future you’re designing for yourself.
    “I am the master of my soul: I am the captain of my ship” William Ernest Henley
  6. Law of Action: life requires our participation. To manifest on earth we must translate our thoughts into action. This is the practical outplaying of what we think, believe and speak out. Even the smallest action towards our goal counts – a conversation had, a compliment given, a form completed, a piece of research filed, a cup of coffee well made, a gathering of like minds, a ticket booked, an article written – all inspired action whether to further our career, health, relationships or knowledge is used by Source under the law of expansion.
    “The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step” Confusious
  7. Law of Connection: nothing happens by chance. Every action has a consequence or a reaction. Everything is energy – light, sound, heat, emotions, thought, even those things that appear static or solid, like rocks, sea, cars, jewels and planets. We are connected through this field of energy to all other beings, to the things we desire and to Source itself. All that we do has a greater consequence in contributing to the ‘everythingness’ of the universe. Like a pebble thrown into a pond, the ripples are ever expansive. We reap what we sow.
    “Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul” Dr Wayne Dyer
  8. Law of Rhythm: everything has a flow. Seasons, cycles, stages of development, patterns. Night follows day, tides rise and fall, wake follows sleep, peace follows conflict and wisdom follows challenge. When we begin to live conscious lives the cycles become clearer and it allow us to step back from challenges, pain or learning curves and say ‘it’s part of life in same way as happiness, victories and progress’ – we live trusting that this too will pass.
    “Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each” Henry David Thoreau
  9. Law of Allowing: all things manifest from thought to form in their right time. Our holding to these laws, practicing, refining ourselves and committing to lifelong learning is what’s called for here. If we’re thinking the thoughts and taking the action, the rest is about trusting the process. The more we can let go of our limited agenda and allow the universe to do it’s stuff, the more room it has to maneuver a stunning result.
    “Once we plant the seed of intention in the ground of pure potentiality, our soul’s journey unfolds automatically, as naturally as a bulb becomes a tulip or an embryo becomes a child” Deepak Chopra
  10. Law of Patience and Reward: true mastery requires patient persistence, expectancy and joy as we focus on the goal. Know that success doesn’t lie at the destination, it exists in every moment of HOW we journey. Developing that mindset includes the art of allowing and that combination is powerful in manifesting the dream you’re heading for.
    “He that can have patience, can have what he will” Benjamin Franklin
  11. Law of Humility: the purpose of an individual is unique. Whilst there may be similarities to what other people are creating in their time here on earth, your life is not theirs and theirs not yours. Each life mix is as individual as a fingerprint – history, expectations, family, fitness, intellect and spiritual journey. Allow difference. Respect it. Celebrate it. There are many right ways. Be constantly aware to acknowledge and encourage others’ chosen path and keep well away from comparison unless it serves to inspire you.
    “It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is” Hermann Hesse
  12. Law of Gratitude: an attitude of gratitude aligns purpose, soul and Source in one straight line. Developing gratitude and feeling it deeply on a moment-to-moment basis (which takes practice!!) is like laying a flawless road for a performance car; the potential for speed is immense. Being grateful when living with challenges is when the skill of ‘reframing’ comes into its own. I want to be thinner – ‘I’m grateful that today I lost a pound’; I want to earn more – ‘I’m grateful for my contacts at director level’; I want to find my soul-mate – ‘I’m grateful for my social life and friends’.
    “When you are grateful, fear dissolves and abundance appears”
    Anthony Robbins

Remember … Everything is energy. And thoughts are things.

This is the briefest outline of the Universal Laws of Success. Knowing them and adjusting your life to fully benefit from them aren’t so far apart, however it requires intimate understanding of the principles and disciplined habit changing. It’s simple … but it’s not easy. You’ve got to want the results and be willing to do the learning and make the adjustments!

What I can tell you is this though. As a Success with Soul Coach, I’ve seen clients embrace these secrets – not even all of them, just one or two pertinent to their particular circumstance – with dramatic effect. I’ve had clients double their salary while reducing number of days at work; shift to a new career & country; get pregnant after years of trying; get fitness goals on track within weeks; renew on-the-edge professional relationships to a place of respect ; and receive unexpected money in the mail. These are exceptional examples in a short time frame, however they demonstrate that the laws do work. In other cases, clients have reported increased happiness and meaning; a greater sense of connection and purpose; more inspiration and motivation; and an overwhelming sense of peace. Personally, you can’t put a price on that stuff – it’s where miracles begin.

I’m here to partner with you on this next chapter of your life story – if that’s what you want right now. I guarantee you’ll see an upscale of life pace and life purpose. You navigated your way to this moment for a reason. You KNOW there’s more. I’m here when you’re ready.

Use the Holiday Shopping to your Advantage.

Use this time of the year as the emotional starting point for bringing into focus the “you” you’ve always wanted to be. Visualize and Write down a plan. Make commitments to new positive changes in your thoughts, habits and actions.. The choice is yours. Embrace this season as the new start of wonderful things to come and you’ll have much to celebrate in your future with the children.   Many parents start by taking the kids shopping for some new things so they’ll have their own personal “stash” at both houses.   You and the children may need new things.   Let each child make some personal selections of bedding, toiletry and clothing items. Little things like new pajamas, underwear, toothbrush, alarm clock, pillow, sunglasses, towels, shampoo, etc. can make a big difference in helping your children feel more at home in your new home OR in your EX’s new home.  Help the children feel excited about some of the transition process.   A few new toys in this house and a few new toys at the other house, as well as old familiar ones are important at this time of transition. Selecting some DVDs or games together that is part of the new home environment and perhaps a reminder that the future is not that scary.  Remember, you create your own future.  Attitude is everything.

Start New Holiday Traditions

Take time to develop (write them down) new ways of celebrating the holidays that you and your children can cherish and enjoy together. Remembering past holiday traditions or events of the past can set you into a downward negative spiral.  Start something new.    Perhaps it’s a special trip, celebrating with new friends and neighbors, attending special holiday events in your community or church.  I had this example in a previous post:  First, write down  – in great detail – what is that you will do.  Here is an example:   Easter Sunday.   I have the Children this year:   We will wake up early and go to Service in the Park, outdoors, at sunrise.  We can invite our other friends that have young children.  The more children present, the more likely this will be a great experience for you and you kids.   We will go to brunch at (children’s favorite place – it may have to be McDonalds) After brunch we can visit my mom, dad, sister, aunt, or anyone that brings joy to me and my children.  We will all go together and buy flowers and perhaps some chocolates as a gift with (some chocolates for the children of course) – after lunch, we can have more friends over – or- a quiet family movie night.  Get the picture?  Plan, Plan, Plan for a better  (next) Holiday.
