The Natural Law of ENTROPY Do you let opportunity slip away? I work with hundreds of high school and college students every summer through Eagle University – or Eagle U as we call it.  However, many (many, many!) years ago I was the Eagle U student! I remember sitting in a classroom at Pepperdine University as […]

The Natural Law of the PLATINUM RULE What should we really “do unto others”? We’ve all heard the “Golden Rule”: Treat other people the way you want to be treated. This is a great foundation for treating people with basic human decency.  However, if you really want to impact others and get results, then you have […]

  The Natural Law of ATTENTION Get people’s attention with this one little thing… Have you ever been engaged in what you thought was an in-depth conversation, only to be faced with a long awkward silence?

NATURAL LAW OF COMPENSATION You can get anything you want in life if you help other people get more of what they want. Of course, I have “favorite” Natural Laws.  This happens to be one of those because of the results I have seen from using it in my own life.  This law reminds us that in […]

NATURAL LAW OF THE HARVEST It’s really in your hands… We have all heard this time and time again in our lives.  But, are we really getting it? See, sow = “do”.  As we “do” to ourselves, others, this world, etc., we are actually laying the groundwork for what we will eventually produce or “reap” in […]
