The Five Life-Changing Laws That Can Shape Your Destiny

1) Murphy’s Law: The more you fear something will happen, the more likely it will occur.

Worrying about something that hasn’t happened yet will not solve the problem. But Murphy’s Law goes beyond this concept. 

We’ve all experienced that gnawing apprehension about an impending event, which ironically causes the very thing we’re trying to avoid. Why? Because when you fixate on fear, you unknowingly channel your energy, thoughts, and sometimes even your actions toward it. Focusing your attention on fear, fear of something that hasn’t happened yet deprives you of the clarity needed to find solutions and magnifies the problem in your mind. 

So, the next time you find yourself in the grasp of fear, remember: instead of obsessing over the worst-case scenario, focus on the best possible outcome and the actions that’ll lead you there.

2) The Kidlin Law: If you write a problem down clearly and precisely, you have solved half of it.

Have you ever been bogged down by a complex issue or problem, only to find clarity once you’ve written it down? 

The reason is simple: writing forces you to structure and simplify your thoughts. It strips away the emotional baggage attached to the issue, providing a clear and concise view. Once on paper, a problem becomes more tangible, manageable, and easier to dissect. 

The next time you’re overwhelmed, grab a pen, jot down the specifics, and watch as the haze lifts, revealing the pathway to a solution.

3) The Gilbert Law: When you take on a task, finding the best ways to attain the desired results is always your responsibility.

To achieve your goals, you must be actively doing things to achieve them.  Reversely, you must take action toward achieving your goals to reach them.  However, how are some people extraordinarily successful and others not?

Success in any venture is about more than putting in effort. It’s about putting in the right kind of effort—the right solution.  If you want to achieve a goal and be successful, you must take control.  It may sound harsh, but it’s a hard, cold truth – your duty is to find the most effective methods to achieve your goal. 

This law reminds you of the importance of ownership. By taking responsibility for your actions and their outcomes, you place yourself in the driver’s seat of your life. Don’t wait for instructions or default solutions. Instead, be proactive, research, learn, adapt, and pave your way to success.

4) Wilson’s Law: If you prioritize knowledge and intelligence, money will come.

The world reveres those who can think, innovate, and solve. If you continually strive to grow your intellect and knowledge, opportunities won’t just knock; they’ll pound on your door. This isn’t to say that money should be your only goal, but rather, by making a lifelong commitment to learning, you inherently increase your value, not just in the job market but in every aspect of life. The investment in your mind yields the best returns, often manifesting in opportunities, recognition, and financial rewards.

5) Falkland’s Law: If you don’t have to make a decision about something, then don’t decide.

It’s tempting to think that decisiveness is always a virtue. But there’s power in patience and restraint. Not every situation requires an immediate decision. Sometimes, waiting allows for more information to surface, circumstances to change, or simply for your intuition to guide you. Refraining from unnecessary decisions, you conserve your mental energy for the moments that matter and avoid the pitfalls of hasty, ill-informed choices.
