The Law of Growth, sometimes also referred to as the Law of Production, is a simple natural law that expresses the way a thing attracts to it what it needs to grow, that which is in vibrational harmony with it. Because everything exists in a state of vibration, all things attract that which is like it and repel that which is not in vibrational alignment with it. By learning and understanding how the Law of Growth operates, you can learn how to be happy and successful in life.

The Law of Growth (Law of Production)

‎”We choose our wealth. Love brings love, health brings health. Like produces like, an effect resembles its cause… A smile brings a smile, peace brings peace; and never will this spiral cease. As you sow, so shall you reap. Carefully choose which seeds you keep.” — Excerpt of the Law of Growth (Law of Production)

–– Excerpt Quoted in The Sunfood Diet Success System (David Wolfe)

The Law of Growth is another derivative of the One Fundamental Law: The Law of Love, which may also be referred to as the Law of Creation. Like the Law of Attraction, the Law of Growth describes the process by which a thing grows in the world. All things are included in the Law of Growth, and this applies to one’s thoughts, feelings and choices as well.

You can learn how to be happy by consciously and intelligently applying the Law of Growth. In other words, you can improve or attract a healthy and supportive relationship, increase your income and financial situation, cultivate healing in your body, and even feel better emotionally by properly applying the Law of Growth.

Universal Laws

There are basic fundamental laws that govern cause and effect in the Universe. Some of these laws are obvious and are fairly well understood, such as the Law of Gravity and other laws which describe easily measurable physical phenomena. Other laws, however, are more subtle, less quantifiable with current scientific tools, yet are in effect nonetheless, affecting and governing the circumstances of our lives. This is the case despite the fact that most people are largely unaware of even the existence of such subtle, universal laws.

Take, for example, the Law of Attraction, recently popularized with the publishing of The Secret. The Law of Attraction, like the Law of Growth, is a powerful physical law in operation at all times. Such subtle laws require acute awareness and openness that through inspiration, human beings can gleam wisdom and understanding and thus learn not only how to accelerate their personal and spiritual growth and development, but also how to be happy.

The Law of Growth

The Law of Growth essentially states that a thing, whether it be a seed, a cell, or even a thought, will attract to itself through the Law of Attraction that which it needs to grow. Like attracts like, and because all things are alive, even the most simple such as a single cell organism, or the most subtle such as a thought, will seek to grow, develop and manifest in more concrete material forms.

In other words, through the Law of Growth, even a thought will seek to attract to itself other thoughts that are in vibrational harmony with itself. Thus, through the Law of Attraction, a negative unhappy thought will attract more negative unhappy thoughts. Likewise, positive and happy thoughts will attract more of the same. And because thoughts are energy, they affect your vibrational energy field, your very state, and the nature of your thoughts through the Law of Attraction will determine the very circumstances and results you attract to yourself.

How Can You Apply the Law of Growth?

You can consciously and intelligently apply the Law of Growth by intentionally planting the seeds of good thoughts, those thoughts and beliefs that are in harmony with Truth, in your mind. Your mind is the most fertile field there is, and so by consciously applying the Law of Growth, you become exponentially more aware of your self and that which affects your ability to be happy, prosperous and at peace.

As you consciously plant positive seeds, positive thoughts, in the soil of your mind, and water them with consistency, they will grow and ultimately materialize into positive circumstances in your life just as a seed germinates, eventually growing into a fruit-producing tree.

The Power of Personal Responsibility

All of life is moving in the direction of teaching us human beings how to be more responsible as individuals and as a collective. In fact, accepting personal responsibility is becoming critical to our survival, and that on many levels. By accepting personal responsibility, you become empowered in the only way that you can create positive change in your life. And accepting personal responsibility means accepting that you are at cause for your results, your circumstances.

Sometimes accepting personal responsibility can be difficult, particularly when our results or circumstances are not something we would consciously choose for ourselves. Nonetheless, by accepting personal responsibility and taking conscious control of your self (the only thing you can actually control in the world), you begin to operate at the level of cause rather than being a victim of the effects.

3 Steps to Mastering the Law of Growth

  1. Awaken. Realize that your life is created from the inside out. YOU are at cause and your circumstances are the effects.
  2. Embrace Personal Responsibility. Empower yourself. Know that you can change your circumstances and learn how to be happy by intentionally and intelligently making better choices, by consciously choosing your thoughts.
  3. Choose. Make better choices. Consciously and intentionally think better thoughts. Plant positive seeds, positive thoughts, in the fertile soil of your mind. By the Law of Attraction, they will attract similar thoughts, grow, and ultimately blossom into positive results and circumstances!

How to Be Happy

Use the Law of Growth and and you can quickly learn how to be happy, much more fulfilled and living life on purpose. Take time to be still and become aware of the thoughts running in the background of your mind. Consciously release the negative thoughts, those that are not in harmony with Truth, and replace them with positive thoughts, those that are in vibrational alignment with the natural Goodness and Grace of the Benevolent Universe.

I recommend you sit in stillness for at least five to ten minutes each day, allow your subconscious thoughts to rise to the surface of your conscious mind, and thus take inventory of your self and become more aware of what is actually taking place within you, the thoughts and beliefs that are creating your life circumstances and results.

Eliminate all negative thoughts. They are disempowering and you will get nowhere with them. Furthermore, they are not true, only perspectives. And you can choose your perspective at any time. You can see the glass half full or half empty. You can see the clouds, or the silver lining in the clouds. Happiness is a choice.

How to be happy? Choose happiness. And the Law of Growth, by the Grace of the Divine, will take care of the rest.
