Life Strategies (IV)

McGraw describes the ten "Life Laws" - the rules by which the world plays, such as "You Either Get It, or You Don't", "Life Is Managed; It Is Not Cured", "You Can't Change What You Don't Acknowledge" and "You Have to Name It to Claim It". If you learn and abide by the Life Laws and go on to create a Life Strategy, McGraw claims that you will not only know yourself better and eliminate negative behaviors, you will also know how to reach any goal you set for yourself.

Some people spend their lives reacting to what life hands them. By accepting that you are personally accountable for every element of your life, McGraw says, you can erase the negative "epidemic behaviors" in your life and reach your goals. 
  •  Are you frustrated that you are not making more money in your job? And you are capable of more than you are accomplishing but now you are living a lonely existence with little hope for change.
  • Did I fail to be clear about what I wanted?
  • Did I fail to stand up for myself and claim my rights?
     If so, you need to
  • Design in life strategy that requires you to persuade someone to see things your way in order for you to succeed.
  • Acknowledge and label whatever personal characteristics are keeping you from success.
  • Seize opportunities when they present themselves and create them when they do not. 
If you don’t step up and fight for you, no one else will.  If events in your life begin to flow differently, it will be because you have changed what you think, feel and do. We teach people how to treat us.  Fear can imprison us and ruin our life.

You have to name with great precision what you want and to claim it once you have created it. You have to overcome timidity, guilt, feeling of inadequacy and have the willingness and courage to claim what you want.
