“What is the Law of Allowing?” Video


Each person is created as a unique individual. There is a reason behind this: diversity makes life interesting and it encourages people to be creative and open to new possibilities. When everything is routine and everyone does the same thing, life simply gets boring.

The Law of Allowing states that we are to accept and love who we are, and to do the same with others. We accept the reality that we are not the same, yet we can still live harmoniously with each other. It is this type of thinking that creates peace and discourages division - love instead of hate. It is a perspective worth developing.

Key Points from this Inspirational Video:

  • Law of allowing: I am that which I am, and I am pleased with it.
  • You are that who you are.
  • I am able to focus upon that which I want.
  • In conformity, there is not the diversity that fosters creativity.

Overall Rating (1-5): 4

Entertainment Rating (1-5): 2

Instructional Rating (1-5): 5

The speaker is full of wisdom when it comes to explaining in depth the meaning of Law of Allowing.
