The Law of Cause and Effect - Living at Cause Is the Key to Being Effective in Life
At any moment, you are totally, 100% at the effect of the world around you.
No matter what happens, you will react accordingly.
At the same time, the world around you is totally, 100 % at the effect of you.
No matter what you do or don't do, the world around you will react to you.
This makes you the cause.
You are both "the cause" and "at the effect" at the same time.
You are the victim of your life and the creator.
You are both.
But at any moment, you only experience yourself as being one or the other.
When you experience yourself as being at the effect, you are powerless.
Instead of being on top of your circumstances, your circumstances are on top of you.
You become a victim.
You lose your confidence, your energy and your effectiveness.
Any time you are upset or are in the presence of an area of your life that isn't working, you are at the effect.
Notice how painful this is.
To see the opposite, find a time when you were at the effect of something and decided that you had had enough.
You then grabbed your situation by the horns and started handling it.
Notice how you felt when this happened.
Instantly, you got your power back.
Instead of your circumstances being on top of you, you got on top of your circumstances.
You became confident and full of energy.
Without knowing, you shifted from being at the effect to being at cause.
When you live your life at cause, you can chart your course.
You can have your dreams come true.
When you live your life at the effect, you can't create anything but more suffering.
Obviously, the opportunity of life is to learn to live your life at cause.
To do this, don't allow yourself to stay at the effect.
You put yourself at the effect by fighting the truth of something.
Some circumstance is in your life and you are fighting it.
When you do this, you give your power to whatever you are resisting.
You make yourself a victim and put yourself at the effect.
To get your power back, surrender to the truth of what's so.
Find what action you need to take based on the truth of the way your situation is.
Then take that action.
The moment you do this, you shift from being at the effect to being at cause.
No matter what happens, you will react accordingly.
At the same time, the world around you is totally, 100 % at the effect of you.
