Free Success Ebook: “Spiritual Laws” by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The intellectual life may be kept clean and healthful, if man will live the life of nature, and not import into his mind difficulties which are none of his. No man need be perplexed in his speculations. Let him do and say what strictly belongs to him, and, though very ignorant of books, his nature shall not yield him any intellectual obstructions and doubts. - Emerson, "Spiritual Laws"

Free Success Ebook: "Spiritual Laws" by Ralph Waldo Emerson - Success Manual Strategist Edition 2010
From Emerson's "Essays - First Series" (1841)
Over the past 15-20 years or so, I have read literally hundreds of Success Manuals by scores of authors, teachers, sages and speakers. I have listened to tapes, CDs, MP3 files and watched VHS and DVD video presentations on Success, self-improvement and personal development. I have attended seminars, and I have viewed recorded and live presentations on television and via the Internet. And, I now tweet and receive thousands of tweets via Twitter every day.
In my humble opinion, in all of these works, no author is cited, quoted or referred to more often than Ralph Waldo Emerson. My past personal coach and mentor, Bob Proctor, loved to quote Emerson. Incredibly brilliant and understanding of the human mind and condition, Emerson seems to say what needs to be said and what makes so much sense. He is a true philosopher of the ages.
Yet, I never have considered Emerson a "Success" or personal development / self improvement teacher, author or master, probably because he simply isn't. He is a philosopher and life observer (and a major formulator of Transcendentalism). To me, he has always been someone who had an amazing gift for seeing things the way they are - how we live our lives and relate to our world (or should).

Sometimes while reading Emerson, I have one of those moments where I feel like I am experiencing life in a new, different and better way. I am not talking about epiphanies or thunder and lightning experiences, but simple, subtle increases in my levels of awareness where I have a greater appreciation and understanding of what is truly meaningful and what is not. I suppose that is one level of attaining Success. After all, Earl Nightengale defined Success as "the progressive realization of a worthy ideal."
It is in these minor advances that we grow. Rarely does life present us with an enormous growth Opportunity - and when it does, we don't want it, for it usually means we must face something quite dramatic that we would rather not. How often do we refuse real growth Opportunity by retreating to the safety of our comfort zone? Probably too much.
And, so it is, that we have finally made our first entry of Ralph Waldo Emerson to The Success Manual FREE Download Library. Today's addition is "Spiritual Laws" and it comes from Emerson's work "Essays - First Series" first published in 1841. That is a long, long time ago, but the Wisdom of the word is as pure and potent as ever - particularly in today's crazy, crazy world.
Enjoy, friends - I will be in touch soon!! I love you all - thank you for allowing me to live my passion! God bless you.
Until next time . . . .
Peace Out, and - Namasté!
To your Health, Wealth, Prosperity and Success,
