LAWS THAT CHANGE LIVES

Finally, after finding out where to get the best supplies at the best prices, hiring the best staff he could, and making all the necessary preparations, Joshua had covered all of the steps. His success was not merely luck, good fortune, or a surprise. Joshua had mastered the Law of Process and demonstrated that by building a stable foundation based upon careful preparation and following a patient process, we can reach any goal. We can achieve anything if we break it down into manageable parts. The following exercises can help you achieve alignment with the Law of Process through direct experience and application.

Experiencing Process 1. Reflect upon how you learned to play a musical instrument or a sport, to drive a car, or to walk or talk. Did it happen all at once, or was it a step-by-step, trial-and-error process? 2. Observe how houses and skyscrapers are built from the ground up, a little at a time. Consider how much energy and planning it takes. What does this say about how to accomplish anything in hfe?

Applying the Law of Process 1. Observe in your own life the many processes you go through each day just in getting dressed, getting the kids off to school, going to work, or going to classes; each of these involves hundreds of small steps. 2. A very good way to reinforce the Law of Process involves building a model plane or model house, or putting together any kind of craft. 3. Pay attention to the many small steps in your hfe. 4. Break any present goal down into small steps; write them down and make a checklist. See the stepping-stones from where you are to where you want to be.
