Hot-Water Results

I waited and waited for the water to turn hot so that I could rinse off the face wash of my nightly routine. It didn’t take long to realize that something was wrong and I resigned myself to the rude awakening of the still-chilly substance coming out of the tap.
“Honey…,” I yelled, “the water heater is busted again.” Confused, he came in the bathroom and turned on the hot-water faucet. Immediately steam began to gather on the mirror. Questioning glances were quickly followed by belly laughs as I realized I had turned on the cold faucet, but expected hot water. What can I say? The blonde on my head is real.
How many times have you been convinced that something in your life is broken? We say things to ourselves like, “I don’t have what it takes,” “I’ll never be able to do that,” or “it just doesn’t work for me.” But the truth is, true principles are always true principles, and if you follow them, the results will come.
In the Doctrine and Covenants we read that “There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated—and when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.” If you step off of a cliff, the law of gravity will let you fly…for a moment…until you come to a painful and abrupt stop. If you get in a properly functioning plane, the law of gravity and lift will allow you to fly around the world, and the only pain you are likely to feel will come from the endless reruns of The Prince of Bel Air.

If you’re not getting the hot-water results you want, 
perhaps you aren’t turning on the hot-water principles.
​

Do you want to attract more friends? Opportunities? Business? There are laws that attract people, just as assuredly as there are laws that repel people like bug spray at the Ugly-bug Ball. Are you seeking better health? Olympians and couch potatoes are both following a system designed to get the results they will achieve, whether they realize it or not. Victims follow the law of gravity, while survivors add the laws of lift and thrust to create the flight of a lifetime.
This teaching isn’t new. Deepak Chopra has his 7 Spiritual Laws of Success, Napoleon Hill has his Laws of Success, and even I have 10 Secrets to Success. If you are trying to turn on the hot water but getting cold-water results, perhaps it’s time to examine the laws you are turning on. It might be time to rinse off what is clouding your vision and make sure you’re turning on the true principles that will make a positive difference in your life and give you the results you are looking for.
You do have what it takes. You are able to do that. It will work for you. You will begin getting hot-water results, just as soon as you start turning on the hot-water principles of your life. ​​
