03 Jan The Chaos Theory (and a secret weapon)

Wouldn’t it be great if we lived in a world where you didn’t have to do anything special to accomplish your goals?

Like, the more pizza you ate and the less you exercised, the thinner and more beautiful you became?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the way to make more money was to pay less attention to your career, do less work, play video games and watch TV all day… And the money would just come flying in?

In a world like this, people would ask, “How is it that you two have such a remarkable marriage?” And you’d say, “Well, we never spend time together. We simply don’t communicate. We put no energy into our relationship whatsoever – and look at how great things are for us. We’re just so happy together!”

They’d ask, “How did your kids turn out so great? What’s your secret?” and you’d say, “We never gave them any guidance… We never really taught them anything… We never played with them… As a matter of fact, we didn’t put any energy into them at all… And look how they turned out! We couldn’t be more proud.”

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we lived in a world where all of our desires just naturally materialized with no effort on our part?

Why doesn’t the world work that way?

Well, the answer is really interesting…  And a super smart guy named Issac Newton explained it in detail about 300 years ago.

It’s called ENTROPY.

Entropy is the universal tendency toward disorder, disorganization, disintegration and chaos.

Newton’s Second Law of Thermodynamics, also known as the Law of Increased Entropy, states, “the total entropy of any isolated system will increase over time, approaching a maximum value.”

In common English, we would say:

“Everything around us is falling apart, all the time.”

The quality of everything that exists, all matter and energy in the universe, deteriorates gradually over time. Entropy is a consistent, never ending process that affects everything, every second of every day.

This Law is absolute. We can see examples of entropy everywhere. Buildings left alone become ruins. Erosion reduces mountains to hills. Cars left in a junkyard rust and deteriorate. All great civilizations eventually fall apart. Our sun will eventually burn out…

All organized systems tend to disorganize.

And that includes everything in your LIFE.

Your body… Your mind… Your relationships… Your spiritual life. The house you live in, the furniture inside that house, the yard around that house, the car you drive…

Entropy is CONSTANTLY working to disorganize every one of those systems. Left alone, everything in your life will tend toward disorder and chaos – because all systems naturally break down.

Unless… (and this is a BIG “unless”)

Unless you put CONTINUOUS, POSITIVE ENERGY back into the system.

Isaac Newton demonstrated that the only thing that counteracts entropy in any closed system is constant positive energy.

Without it, entropy wins every time…

But with consistent, positive energy, you can keep all your systems orderly, organized, integrated, maintained, growing, expanding… you can hold them together.

• You keep your physical body orderly by eating right and exercising. When you eat right, you’re putting energy into the system to keep it from disorganizing. When you exercise, you’re expending energy to keep yourself strong and healthy. And you need to do it consistently. Just stop eating right for a few days, and you’ll experience what the disorganization process feels like.

• What does it take to have a great love relationship? CONSTANT energy. CONSTANT vigilance. CONSTANT attention. Leo Buscalia said, “Like any other living, growing thing, love requires energy to keep it healthy.”

• Same with your Intellectual Life… Buddha said, “The mind is like a drunken monkey leaping from tree to tree, from one drama to another, constantly distracted.” If you don’t put consistent energy into keeping your mind focused, you will have a drunken monkey on your hands.

• You want to be a good parent? Well, you’d better show up EVERY DAY, not just when you feel like it. You’re not allowed to have an egregious lapse in your parenting. You need to be there CONSISTENTLY, setting a good example EVERY SINGLE DAY.

It doesn’t matter WHAT category of your life we’re talking about… the ONLY way keep it orderly is by putting constant energy into the system.

And, let me tell you, that’s a tall order! I mean, there are 12 categories and we care A LOT about all of them! It’s a lot to manage!

How can we ensure a consistent flow of energy into ALL the systems that are important to us? How do we keep from getting overwhelmed, or running out of energy, or mismanaging our energy?

Because entropy WILL be there to derail us! We can count on that – and we need to be ready for it. We need to have an answer…

During week 4 of the VIP Bootcamp, you’ll learn a simple practice that will address this issue and change your life forever.

It will help you impose ORDER on every important system in your life and ensure a constant flow of energy into everything you care about; your health and fitness, your love relationship, your financial life, your parenting, your career…

It makes the difference between organization and disorganization in your life. Between efficiency and inefficiency. Between order and chaos.

This single practice took my success, productivity and happiness to a whole new level. It created a continuous, steady stream of accomplishments… a continuous rhythm of good things coming into my life, every month, every quarter, every year.

And it’s going to have a tremendous impact on you. If you follow this one simple practice, there is no way you’ll fail to make meaningful, measurable progress toward your Life Vision. You’ll experience constant forward motion in your life, constant growth, constant positive energy.

And entropy simply can’t get a foothold if you live your life like that!

So fasten your seat belt, because week 4 of the VIP Bootcamp will be a game-changer!
