Haanel 15-36 “Knowledge does not apply itself.”
“Our actions are not governed by knowledge, but by custom, precedent and habit.” Charles Haanel
The marvelous sales speech that has made someone millions of dollars doesn’t help me if I haven’t learned how to fit it to my personality and style, memorize it and deliver it to someone who needs to hear it.
The Law of Practice – Persistent Practice Produces Perfect Performance (PPPPP). GS, pg71:
“I will practice, and improve and polish the words I utter to sell my goods.” Og Mandino
If I neglect to recognize and embrace this natural law, I lose. The Law of Growth is always working – what you think about grows and what you are not thinking about atrophies. It doesn’t matter if the thought is beneficial to yourself or harmful.
So, if I’m not practicing that sales speech, it atrophies. And, if I’m having fearful moments or hours and have forgotten to use the Law of Substitution to change my internal narrative, subby doesn’t care.
It will somehow manifest that negativity as an unwanted effect. And here is the big realization; The Law of Forgiveness. I forgive everyone and most of all, I forgive myself for not yet using all this knowledge and being in harmony with the laws under which we live.

Ron, Your thoughtful reflection helped me see how important it is to gently apply what I know and be kind to myself in the process. Thank you.
“Powerful post, Ron. The clarity on ‘growth or atrophy—no neutral ground’ is a vital reminder. The Law of Forgiveness as the necessary reset to get back into harmony is a game-changer. Thanks for the insight! 🙏
Thank you Arlene
Thank you Sabrina.
The Law of Growth is shining through. Thank you, Ron, for your post! It all starts within us first and spreads to others. We can only give what we have inside of ourselves. Your post says it all!
Well done applying those laws, Ron!
