Over the next several weeks we’ll be posting about the 12 Spiritual Laws that our residents learn to understand and practice throughout their 90 day stay at the Mark Houston Recovery Center.

#3 The Spiritual Law of Cause and Effect

This law teaches me that what I put out into the universe must come back to me at some point in time. If I put out anger, pride, resentments, fear, etc. at some point in time it will come back to me. If I am kind and loving, express compassion, forgiveness, giving that too will return to me.

This was a hard law to learn and was forged out of my experience.

If you’ve ever wondered why everything seems to go right for some people and quite the opposite for others, you’ve likely experienced the law of cause and effect. Positive people aren’t that way because everything goes right for them – things go right for them because they are positive.

This concept is difficult to believe for those who haven’t experienced it. However, the most exciting news is that you can experience this change today just by changing what you send out into the world.

Try being positive for just three days. Don’t say things that are negative, self defeating, or gossip about others. You may still have these thoughts, but don’t verbalize them. Instead, speak only things that are positive. You may find that you have nothing to say when you filter out the negative in which you’ll have to begin searching for the positive side of life. Try to make people smile. Compliment others. Talk about the good things you see happening in the world, in your community, in your life, and in others.

You’ll be amazed at how different your life can become when you positively harness the Law of Cause and Effect.
