Law of Least Effort

by Pete Bissonette

There's another law besides the Law of Attraction, and it's called the Law of Least Effort.

The thing that you want to do in life that's going to bring you the greatest fulfillment and the greatest payoff financially and in terms of impact in the world shouldn't feel like it's work.

In Effortless Success Jack Canfield tells the story of Farrah Gray.

He found the secret to success while quite young. At six years old he sold lotion door-to-door, at age 8 he started the Urban Neighborhood Economic Enterprise Club, and at age 12 he had a lucrative speaking career.

But Farrah wanted to learn how to be super successful, so he read Deepak Chopra's Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. He struggled at first with The Law of Least Effort, which says that the work that will bring the greatest payoff will not feel like work.

"That's ridiculous. Look at my mother. She's worked herself half to death all these years," he said. After giving it more thought, he decided to apply the law for himself.

"The two things I love most are food and kids," Farrah said. "Wow! What if I could start a food company, and we created food for kids?"

At age 13 Farrah started Farr-Out Foods. At age 15 he sold it for more than a million dollars.

Jack tells the story, because the reality is that if Farrah can do that think about what you can do with all of the talents and all of the skills and educational background you have.

When you do it in your passion, you do it effortlessly.

So for each of us the real question is what do I love to do?
