The Law of Attraction and First Principles

The Law of Attraction

What truly influences you is your surrounding environment.

• Your annual income is the average annual income of the people around you. You’ll be influenced by your circle and gradually change.
• When you’re around people who make money, it’s easier for you to make money. When you’re around happy people, you become happier.
  • For example, your language environment, living environment, work environment, and so on.
• Birds of a feather flock together; people who are alike are always drawn to one another.: Thoughts become reality. The more you focus on an answer, the closer it will come to you.

Why isn’t the Law of Attraction called the Law of Success?

• Because it attracts everything, not just the good. It also attracts the bad. Whatever you focus on, you’ll attract.

Set yourself a goal.

• Imagine an outcome. Make the goal as specific as possible, not too vague. It shouldn’t be a dream, but a goal—a firmly held goal.
• Step two: Believe that you already have it, that you’ve already achieved it.

First Principles

First, identify the fundamental problem.

• Start from the fundamentals to find a more reasonable, new approach.

Ask three questions: Why is it done this way? Does it have to be this way? Can’t it be done that way?

• Ask yourself “why” five times.

Suppose your goal is five million.

• Think about why it’s five million.: Keep asking “why” about the outcome four times; the final answer must be something relatively concrete.
