The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth – Chapter 14 – The Law of Expansion

“The potential that exists within us is limitless and largely untapped … when you think of limits, you create them.” Robert J. Kriegel and Louis Patler

How to Increase Your Thinking Capacity:

1. Stop Thinking More Work and Start Thinking What Works?

Working harder is not the answer. You need to do the right things in an effective manner. And to do that ask yourself: What am I required to do? What gives me the greatest return? What gives me the greatest reward?

2. Stop Thinking Can I? and Start Thinking How Can I?

Many people could have accomplished much more in life but they doubted themselves and answered “No” the question “Can I”.

3. Stop Thinking One Door and Start Thinking Many Doors.

Make the word ‘Options’ your favorite one.

- There is always more than one way to do something successfully.

- The odds of arriving anywhere increases with creativity and adaptability.

- Movement with intentionality creates possibilities.

- Failures and setbacks can be great tools for learning.

- Knowing the future is difficult; controlling the future is impossible.

- Knowing today is essential; controlling today is possible.

- Success is a result of continued action filled with continual adjustment.

How to Increase Your Capacity for Action:

1. Stop Doing Only Those Things You Have Done Before and Start Doing Those Things You Could and Should Do.

2. Stop Doing What Is Expected and Start Doing More Than is Expected.

3. Stop Doing Important Things Occasionally and Start Doing Important Things Daily.

To make the transition from ‘I Can’t’ or ‘Can I?’ to ‘How Can I?’ ask yourself:

If I knew I could not fail, what would I attempt?

If I had no limitations, what would I attempt?’

If finances were not an issue, what would I be doing with my life?

Ask yourself ‘What Works’ instead of just working harder.

Have a plan and system to make sure you are doing what’s important daily.
