I’m currently listening to Brian Tracy’s Success Mastery Academy. Brian Tracy’s work is superb - littered with good humour and plenty of stories and examples, he is kind of the Success Yoda… if you want to be good at something, really good, such as being a master in your field, ot just plain earning money, I recommend you listen to Brian Tracy. He’s a straight down the line “been there, done it” guy with a lot of knowledge on what success is in its purest terms and how to achieve it.
And so far through this 10 hour programme, i’ve found it very useful. The first revelation for me was a new law. Sure I’ve heard of the Law of Attraction recently - who hasn’t? And that one for me doesn’t really ring true, I think it’s The Thinker and The Prover all wrapped up in a bunch of mystical poppycock.
And yet Brian Tracy quotes the Law of Correspondence. Hmm…
In the time of Abraham, the teacher Hermes Trismegistos asserted that all information about a man could be found within a single drop of his blood and that within a man was represented the entire universe. He formulated from this a principle which he called The Law of Correspondence which stated: “Whatever is above is like that which is below, and whatever is below is like that which is above“.
In the case of being successful, Tracy suggests that the Law of Correspondence means that your external world is representative of your internal world. And it’s one way - changing your external world, such as buying that hifi you can’t really afford, or giving your lounge a new coat of paint, doesn’t change who you are inside. He suggests that to make real change to your outside world, you must change your inner world, your mind.
And at this point i’m going to leave it there. I could (and usually do) continue to talk about the how. I’ll leave that for another post and let you wonder and wander about what this means to you.
