The Universal Law of
USE

“If you don’t use It, you lose It.”

Whether you believe it or not, you are filled with Positive Energy.

Positive Energy is that creative power in everyone, including yourself, that gives you the hope and strength to live a better life and achieve greater success.

To the degree that we use our Positive Energy intelligently, we get more of It to use. Conversely, we lose our Energy whenever we use It ignorantly or ignore using It at all.

Nothing causes failure faster than the ignorant use of our Positive Energy.

 

Muscles & Fat

A simple example of how The Law of Use operates is in our muscles. The more we exercise them, the bigger and stronger they become and the more beneficial use we get from them.

When we ignore using our muscles by neglecting to exercise them, our muscles deteriorate into useless fat.

“If you don’t use It, you lose It.”

 

Backward Understanding

People have it backward when the say:

“I wish I had the motivation to get more done.”

Motivation is the energy we get from getting things done. Consequently, using our energy to get things done gets us motivated to do more things. Unused motivation fades away and leaves us in a de-motivated state.

“If you don’t use It, you lose It.”

 

Ignorant use of The Law

Those of us who have ever made the mistake of resting in the back room for fifteen minutes or more, know first hand that the longer we sit around and do nothing the more tired, de-motivated and depressed we become. Ignorantly using our energy to sit around, over-eat, and wait for walk-ins puts us in the black hole of dread where serving clients becomes a major interruption in our day. And before you know it, living in the back room becomes our goal.

“If you don’t use It, you lose It.”

 

Intelligent use of The Law

The purpose for resting is to “catch our breath” and to gather strength for the next set of activities; therefore, we must refrain from spending more than 20% of our down time resting in the back room. The remaining 80% must be invested in practices that cause future growth. Redefining the back room as a place to go for re-fueling  yourself for greater success will enable you to go home at the day’s end inspired instead of tired.

To those who have, more is given.
From those who have not, is taken the little that they have.

The above quote is taken right out of The Ancient Writings. It means:

 “If you don’t use It, you lose It.”
.

REFLECTION

1. How do you use your positive energy during down time?

2. What have you been getting back as a result?

3. What do you know now that you didn’t know before?

4. What will you do better now that you know it?
