There’s Only One Person Who Can Help You

themaninthemirror

Napoleon Hill writes of a man who came to see him one day.  The man’s business had failed and he left his family because he couldn’t take care of them.

The man was unkempt, but the day before he had been given one of Hill’s pamphlets and now the man had come to Hill’s office seeking help.

Hill told him that he was sorry that he could not help, but that there was a man in the building who could help and Hill would introduce the man.

Hill led the man into the next room and stood him before a curtain.  When Hill pulled the curtain back the man was looking in the mirror.  Hill explained that this was the only man on earth who could help and there he was in the mirror.  Hill goes on to tell of the mans later success (“Hills Golden Rules“).

Self Reliance

Poor Richards Almanac put it this way: “God helps them that help themselves.” The great Emerson wrote: “Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”

And so it is with all of us.  This is not to say that a hand up does not help from time to time but – any real forward movement lies in our own hands, our own actions, in our own mind as Emerson said, “self reliance“.

What keeps a person from doing the things he or she knows to do?  What keeps a person from moving forward?

That question usually comes down to 1. beliefs, there is a belief that the thing is impossible, OK for someone else but impossible for me; and 2. lack of a compelling reason – there is no vision or purpose to pull you forward nor is there a sufficient monster coming up from behind to force you to move.

So most of us just sit there.  Jim Rohn (or is it Les Brown?) talks about an old dog lying on a nail poking up out of the wood floor of the front porch.   The dog is whining but just lays there.  The nail is annoying but just doesn’t hurt enough to get the dog to move.

Greet The Future Each Morning

What reasons do you have to move forward with your dreams and plans?   What compelling vision of success can you make so you can see the outcome of those plans, a vision so compelling that you are drawn happily into the future?

“See the vision and make it plain on tables that he may run who reads it…”  That’s how the Bible puts it in the book of Habakkuk, it’s a little different context, but the idea is the same.

Write down your vision of the future, nurture that vision until you take off running towards it everyday.  You see your mind is the only thing that will get you off your ass.

You can’t beat yourself into doing anything that is truly worthwhile.  But a compelling vision that you repeat to yourself, consistently and often enough, is a vision that you will come to believe.  It’s a vision that will shine a light on how you are going to accomplish it.  It’s a vision that will cause you to jump out of bed everyday and run to greet it.

There are many paths to learn greet the future this way – using the law of attraction and creating a compelling vision.  You can learn more about a compelling future in The Science of Getting Rich Program: www.TheRealMikeGriffin.com/sgr/

    I have been fallowing your work since 2008. I have studied your podcasts over and over. You have some of the most valuable information posted on this web site than anywhere else on the internet. You are doing a good service to the world by putting all this out for people to absorb. You have inspired me to start my own blog and although I am a beginner on the internet and a novice writer, I know I am doing a service to the world.

    Thanks for all the inspiration,
    -Brendan
