3 – Building Your Foundation

Your foundation determines how high you can build.  Without a strong foundation, your ability to create success, however you define it, will be extremely limited.

In order to create success, we must have a strong foundation for success. Some people will want to skip over this conversation thinking, “I just want to get to the real stuff.” Well… this is the real stuff, and no matter how many times I tell you this, you will not understand until you have actually done it and proven to yourself the veracity of these fundamental basic principles.

It will take a certain willingness to really consider the information I’m sharing with you right now because until you know, you don’t know. You think you know, but you don’t.  I’m not saying this out of arrogance or to put you down.  This is simply a matter of fact.  

A mentor of mine told me once that there is a domain of knowledge that is learnable but not teachable. Stop for a moment and think about what I just said.  This is such a profound truth.  I can show you where to look but you have to go find it.  You have to have your own experience to validate this information.  Once you’ve done this, you will be able to come back to this conversation and it will sound like music to your ears.  

Think about it.  Is there anything you have accomplished in your life that required building a foundation first?  How about speaking a language?  How hard would it be to comprehend this sentence if you hadn’t learned your alphabet first? Imagine trying to read a book written in Chinese but you do not know how to read or speak Chinese. How much would you get out of that book?  Knowing Chinese is a necessary foundation for reading a Chinese book.  A house without a foundation will not stand for long. Likewise, you cannot unlock your true power and potential until you accept these simple truths: You must always be building your foundation. You must fix the cracks in your understanding. You and only you can build a foundation that will allow you to create the life you truly desire. 

My mentors taught this to me and I’m passing it along to you. The ability to create and manifest the life of your dreams is 100% learnable.  Anyone who can get their foundations right will have the opportunity to create great success, wealth, joy, freedom, security and much more. However, the choice is yours to make. No one else can do it for you.  

The issue for most people is that their foundations are missing or damaged, meaning there is important knowledge that is absent, or that they have incorrect knowledge, and so they continue attempting to find what they are looking for, but fall short again and again. How do I know this?  Because this was me.

I’ve seen thousands of well-meaning people who wanted more in their lives fall short of their dreams because their foundation was weak.  I have also seen many people who applied the information I will be sharing in this blog and it worked for them.  This information always works when applied correctly.  It works every time without exception. 

I personally know that this information works for everyone who applies it, and so I know it can work for you too.  You don’t have to take my word for it and I know it may seem like a leap of faith for you, and that’s because it is.  There are so many people out there teaching incorrect theories about how to create, that you may be a little bit skeptical. That’s ok. Just acknowledge that this is where you are, and then make a choice.  Are you going to give this a shot? Do you trust the person who shared this with you?  Do you trust yourself to figure out if this is true or not?   

So now let’s get clear about something very important that can make all the difference in your life if you are willing and able to hear it. There is a knowable foundation for creating success, happiness, fulfillment and anything your heart desires.  If you don’t have this foundation, you will not be able to create the life you’ve always wished for.    

What is this foundation made of? 

Principles and Axioms.  

This is what this blog is all about. 

Having a foundation of true principles and axioms by which you live and create your life is what will determine how successfully and deliberately you will be able to create what you desire. The regular integration of principles and axioms is the key to unlocking your power and potential.

So what are principles and axioms?

An axiom is a universal or self-evident truth. It already exists naturally in the universe. It has always existed, exists now and always will exist and it can never be destroyed.  If any of these criteria are not present, then it is not an axiom but rather a false perspective or temporary opinion about what is true.  The inability to create in harmony with life comes from a lack of understanding of these axioms. 

If you don’t believe in the law of gravity and so you jump from a tall building, you will still fall regardless of your lack of belief in gravity.  However, if you live your life with a full knowledge and understanding of gravity, you can better prevent yourself from falling off of buildings. This example should illustrate the importance of axioms.  You must know what is true about how the universe naturally works if you want to avoid creating unnecessary suffering and misery in your life. You must learn what is true so that you may align your thoughts, words and actions with these axioms. Only then will you be able to harmonize with these axioms to access your full potential and creative power. 

The word “principle” comes from the latin noun “principia” meaning first, foremost, leading, chief, most necessary, most important. Axioms are always principles in that they come first and are most important, but principles are not always axioms. If your principles are rooted in incorrect knowledge and information, then you will fail to create the desired outcomes in your life.  True principles are axioms and axioms are true principles.  You can consciously choose to live by true principles and harmonize yourself with the natural laws that govern this universe.  You can then use these principles again and again to create success in your life, whatever that may be for you. This is how you develop the “Midas touch” where everything you touch turns to gold. 

What I’m sharing with you right now is not new information.  There is no new information really.  As the old adage goes, there is nothing new under the sun.  All axioms and principles already exist naturally in the universe.  The key to unlocking your power and potential in life comes from your awareness of these naturally occurring axioms and principles that govern the universe and all of life, as well as your ability to harmonize yourself with them correctly. 

What I’m saying right now is so important.  It is pure gold.  If you don’t agree with me or if you are not excited about this, then you just don’t know yet.  You do not yet understand the significance of this conversation, and again, that’s ok.  Just know that at some point if you stay in this conversation and you keep generating the care, hope and desire to unlock your true potential, you will get it eventually.  When you do, you will reread this information and you will be in awe of it.  You will be excited to learn more and have new insights about what you are reading.  You will be thrilled to know that you have the power inside of you to create an incredible life by focusing on what really matters – building your foundation of principles and axioms, and mastering them through real-life application over time. 

When you really understand the power of principles and axioms, you realize that you must always be in the process of building a stronger foundation for whatever you will create next.  You are never done building your foundation.  Each new level is the foundation for your next creation.  Most people don’t want to do this work.  Most people are too impatient.  They want to get to the good stuff.  They want to hear something they haven’t heard before.  They think there is some mysterious secret that they just haven’t heard yet and that once they hear it, suddenly their life will start working out better. In one sense this is true, however, the misconception is that you need new information.

The reality is that these secrets you are seeking can only be found by better understanding the foundational principles and axioms. By having more insights about this material, you will have more awareness as you go through life, allowing you to make better choices and decisions that will ultimately create better results in your life. This does not mean you will not experience obstacles or opposing forces.  It just means that you will have the tools to deal with them and overcome them effectively. The more you can align your thoughts, feelings and actions to be in harmony with true principles and axioms, the more access you will have to being the creator of your own destiny.
