THE ULTIMATE ACT OF SUCCESS

By Victor Midgley:

There will not be a more impactful message I can share with you than this. If you desire Prosperity, Abundance and Fulfillment in your life, there is a proven and sure principle that you can implement today and begin to see the evidence of its truth immediately. I learned this concept from my mentor (Bob Proctor) through his teaching about the “Law of Increase.” He viewed praise as an application of the Law of Increase. Praise is not just a kind gesture; it is a creative force that literally causes the things you focus on to expand and grow. This goes beyond gratitude or even a positive attitude. Proctor taught that "whatever is praised, increases". Just as a plant grows toward the light, human potential and even financial abundance grow toward the energy of praise and appreciation. Strive to leave every person you meet with the "impression of increase". Acknowledging their value so clearly that they leave your presence feeling bigger, more capable, and more important than when they arrived. Praise shifts your vibration from "lack" to "abundance" instantly. When you praise what you have, even if it’s small, you connect yourself to the "source of supply," turning yourself into a magnet for more of the same to return to you. Start every goal or affirmation with distinct “praise” words. By praising the result before it manifests, you align your subconscious mind with the reality of its growth. The bottom line is, if you want something to grow—be it a relationship, a business, or your own self-worth—you must stop looking at what’s wrong and start praising what is right. Praise is like sunlight for the soul. Just as a seed needs more than just soil to break through the earth, people and projects need more than just "work" to truly flourish. When you offer genuine praise, you aren't just being polite, you are practicing a form of active nourishment. Praise will transform effort into identity. When you tell someone, they did a great job, they stop seeing their work as a task and start seeing themselves as someone capable of excellence. We all understand growth is risky. By highlighting what is going right, you create a "psychological greenhouse" where people feel safe enough to innovate, stretch, and fail forward. Whatever you acknowledge, you encourage to repeat. If you want more kindness, praise a small act of grace. If you want more brilliance, shine a light on an innovative idea. Plants don’t grow by being critiqued for their height; they grow because they have the energy to reach upward. Be the "sun" for someone else. Speak life into their efforts and watch how quickly they begin to bloom. You are light energy and when you praise, you are letting your true light shine upon that-thing which you desire to grow and that is far more powerful than having a positive attitude. Praise centers on the idea that acknowledging value in something or someone causes that value to expand. Whatever you praise, you increase. Money is a reward for service rendered and praising your current supply, no matter how small, aligns you with the "Law of Increase". Praise your current earnings, use affirmations like, "I am so happy and grateful now that money comes to me in increasing quantities through multiple sources on a continuous basis". Praise the source of your money, express sincere appreciation for the opportunity to serve, which will attract more opportunities. Praise the money you spend, instead of feeling "lack" when paying bills, praise the money for the service it provides. Consider praise when it comes to your health. Your body is a product of your thoughts and shifting focus from disease to health creates a new "vibration". Praise your body’s functionality. Instead of focusing on symptoms, praise the parts of your body that are working well. You might say, "I have a strong and healthy body; my mind is clear and focused, and I have an abundance of energy". Spend time daily visualizing yourself in a state of perfect health and praising that "future self” as if it were already true. The key to healthy relationships is leaving every person with the "impression of increase” causing them to feel better for having met you. Acknowledge specific efforts, instead of a general "good job," offer descriptive praise for specific actions, such as, "I really appreciate how you took the time to listen to me today; it made me feel very supported". Focus on giving over getting, shift your energy from what you are receiving to what you can praise in the other person. Focusing on helping another person experience an abundant life naturally fosters a healthy connection. Praise is the ultimate catalyst for the Law of Increase. It is the conscious choice to stop focusing on what is missing and start celebrating what is already here. When you praise your income, your health, or your relationships, you aren't just being positive—you are literally feeding the roots of those things, so they have no choice but to grow.
