Every cause has its corresponding effect. There must be a cause, to experience the effect. You must act in accordance with the Law of Cause and Effect! 
According to the Law of Dependent Origination, even the Buddha had to cultivate the necessary causes in order to become a Buddha. He was not a Buddha right from the moment he was born.

Everything has an order of occurrence—cause, time, and effect. This is a golden principle in Buddhism. Don’t try to rush things, as things done in haste often fall short of the preset goal; things will naturally ripen when the time comes. But if you do not have the proper causes and conditions, the desired effect won’t come regardless of how much time has passed. You must know this.

They are the same for both the secular world and beyond. In the secular world, some of us follow the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, which is the Way of the Sages.

Cause and effect: you must first plant a good cause to give yourself a good effect. Response: you must first act with sincerity before the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will give you the response you wish for. You can’t clap with just one hand to produce any sound. Similarly, you must have faith and be relentless in your cultivation in order to receive the desired effect!
