Principles

"We do not yet see that virtue is Height, and that a man or a company of men, plastic and permeable to principles, by the law of nature must overpower and ride all cities, nations, kings, rich men, poets, who are not. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Everything we see wasn't always the way it is but became that way over time, by cause and effect. Actions were taken and outcomes created to shape our world. There is a world of creators responsible for the world we live and work in. Your phone, your car, your clothes, your house, the things you use, the places you go, all were created to become the way they are now. Your body and your mind were designed on a blueprint created by the wisdom of God and the choices of your ancestors. Everything that exists is because of the actions that made it as it is.

Everything is subject to the law of cause and effect. If we obey the law upon which reality is built, then we can create with an unlimited capacity for good. Our only limitations come in acting in a way that defies the laws of nature (also intervening variables).

If we do things that harm ourselves or others, we limit our ability to do good. If we learn and obey the principles of creation, we can create with limitless possibilities. As long as we do good, we will progress forever.

So how can we become our best selves and do the most good in the world? By learning how life works, applying principles of self-mastery and living a life focused on serving others. As you do so, you will become one of the creators that shape our world.

That is the message of Live Right Now.
