Don’t be the person out there looking for a job, be the person out there doing something interesting (from the movie).

A great little movie about the enormous opportunity that you have by being laid off – an opportunity you have to seize.

It seems that the big marketing successes of all times have been promoting opinion and outright falsehoods as truth.

Emerson is quoted as saying:

build a better mousetrap and they’ll beat a path to your door.

While Emerson has written and stated many great truths, this is not one of them.  In fact if you build a better mouse trap, the PR machines will kick in from your competitors and work at shooting you down.  The fact is if you want to promote something then you’d better have the biggest mouth.

A couple of examples, that you should eat margerine instead of butter, that high fructose corn syrup should be in everything.  Both of these “truths” have their part in the current obesity epidemic in the US.

What other half-truths are out there that you may be using to make decisons with, or products that you may be using that perhaps another choice would be better (hint: perhaps you should avoid high fructose corn syrup)?

Hype is pervasive in our society today.  Everyway we turn someone has a sign or a mesage aimed at our senses.  Repitition of ideas makes us feel comfortable about them, after time we adopt them without giving any real consideration at all.

Always understand your reasons for doing things, is it something considered, or something that has been implanted by repetition of messages that have been presented to your senses?

There is a great old book called “The Science of Getting Rich” written in 1911 by a man named Wallace Wattles. The book was the inspiration for “The Secret” a movie all about the law of attraction. Although “The Science of Getting Rich” is about the law of attraction, it never calls it that, even so this book is perhaps the best reference about using the law and putting it into action in your life.

Basically using the law of attraction boils down to setting up a daily cycle in your life.

1. Visualize an outcome – see the result
2. Take note of the ideas that come to mind
3. See the world in the context of this vision
4. Notice new things, create a mindset that appreciates things rather than discounts them
5. Add in these things to your vision and let the vision morph
6. Take action in anyway that you can on these ideas and on your vision
7. Repeat morning and night every day

Wattles states:

You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want; you cannot transmit an idea before you have it yourself. You must have it before you can give it; and many people fail to impress Thinking Substance because they have themselves only a vague and misty concept of the things they want to do, have, or to become.

If you close your eyes right now can you see a picture of what you want in your life? Can you step into it and feel, smell, and hear? Wattles says: It is not enough that you should have a general desire for wealth “to do good with” everybody has that desire.

Wattles talks about a sensory rich vision as the first step. This is a vision powerful enough to inspire and motivate you to take action to make the vision a reality. How can you have something if you don’t really know what it is. Vague or general ideas are no different from seeing something on TV and then the next day trying to describe the show to a Friend. You have some of it but much of the detail is gone.

In your vision the only way to fill it in is to go through it over and over, perhaps take some notes. Include in your notes how it makes you feel? What do you hear? Who is there with you? Is the scent of sandalwood in the air? Experience it all, put it all down and on successive days fill in the details and intensify the vision. Spend time contemplating this picture.

As you go through the day find moments to bring your vision to mind just long enough to appreciate it and be grateful for it.

Continue this process as the first step of the law of attraction daily cycle.

Whether you have read “The Science of Getting Rich” or not you’ll want to experience it in a whole new way. You’ll want to experience it as delivered and interpreted by Bob Proctor with some help from Michael Beckwith and Jack Canfield. You will learn to use The Science of Getting Rich as your own secret weapon and as your key to success and creation.

How is your future vision? How well can you see the things that are to happen in your life? Does that sound like a crazy idea?

Napoleon Hill, who was perhaps the greatest success writer of the 20Th century had this to say:

Thoughts are things.

Wayne Dyer, who wrote many success books, put it this way:

You will see it when you believe it.

Wallace Wattles, who wrote “The Science of Getting Rich,” the book behind the movie “The Secret” put it like this:

By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.

When the mind is open and expecting a thing held in vision it finds new connections and notices things and ideas related to the thing. If you allow your mind to put these ideas and observations together, it will begin to suggest things for you to do. Things that may or may not seem related to the vision. But these things, when integrated this way, will begin to form and bring to you the object of your future vision.

If you want anything — you must first think it. How can we think of the good things we want if our mind is polluted with all the negativity around. Are you a news junkie? Most of what is in the news and on the news channels is what other people want you to think about something that has happened. You don’t need that to overshadow your life. You need to form clear ideas and visions without the interpretation of others. When you create a future vision you must care for it and nurture it while you are bringing it about by holding the vision.

Some have described how this process works using quantum physics. Others relate it to an intelligence in the universe: that the universe contains a thinking substance that produces in kind after the pure thought held in it. Wallace Wattles, quoted above, is one of those who put forth this theory. I don’t think these two theories exclude each other so just take the one that is easiest on your head and begin to play with future vision.

Hold the vision of what you want in your mind with as pure a thought as you can. Practice this morning and night and write the ideas that spin off, write down the plans that come to mind — then act on these things.

Your vision creates the result, your actions bring it into your hands. This is what Wattles is saying.

Whether you have read “The Science of Getting Rich” or not you’ll want to experience it in a new way. You’ll want to experience it as delivered and interpeted by Bob Proctor with some help from Michael Beckwith and Jack Canfield. You will learn to use The Science of Getting Rich as your own secret weapon and as your key to success and creation.

“1 in 8 get help at food banks, 14 million kids among hungry.” This is one of the headlines in USA Today as I write this article. The story goes on to say that “…poverty and hardship are rising.” How can this be?

The law of attraction swept the country in 2006, by 2007 the movie “The Secret” and the book that inspired it “The Science of Getting Rich,” pervaded the Internet and even showed up in stores like Walmart. Yet, in 2008 the U.S. and the world entered the biggest recession that the last several generations have ever known. Many who thought they were practicing “The Secret” and the law of attraction were disenchanted. It was supposed to be easy – just hold the good thoughts. What happened, how can this be?

We got the wrong idea, that’s what happened. Sure you have to hold the good thought but the law of attraction is also about action. It’s not just wish and it is mine. Rather it is a cycle that you set in motion starting with your thoughts:

1. visualize an outcome – see the result
2. take note of the ideas that come to mind
3. see the world in the context of this vision
4. notice new things, create a mindset that appreciates things rather than discounts them
5. add in these things to your vision and let the vision morph
6. take action in anyway that you can on these ideas and on your vision
7. repeat morning and night every day

Instead of this process that feeds itself and requires you to get off your ass – many took the approach of the James Thurber character: Walter Mitty.

In “The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty” Thurber chronicles a life of dreaming and moving from one thing to the next, not stopping long enough to do something concrete toward any of the things that Mitty wanted to do. It was simply escapism and daydreaming, nothing more that self-deception and a diversion from a boring life.

The law of attraction is meant to lead you into a dynamic life of doing, not wishing. For doing to be effective there must be a plan behind it, hence the visualization and the feedback of ideas and things you discover in the world back into your vision. How could so many miss the most central idea in “The Science of Getting Rich?”

By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.

This is far from wishful thinking and far from a Walter Mitty kind of existence. Yet many, whether they saw “The Secret” or not, whether they have read “The Science of Getting Rich” or not, have tried some wishful thinking and nothing happened after a few days or a few weeks. Then they conclude that there is nothing to it, nothing to the law of attraction.

1 in 8 get help from the food banks, that is a sad reflection of the state of our country. You can be part of the solution, set the law of attraction cycle into action in your life.

Learn to prosper no matter what shape the economy is in. You can use the law of attraction and “The Science of Getting Rich” as your own secret weapons and your key to success.

You’ve never heard Will Smith this way.

Watching “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” many years ago with my children I had no idea that a great actor was on the screen nor was his music to my taste. But if I had known the powerul ideas here were inside of Will Smith then I would have known – here is a great actor and more.

It will be interesting to see what Mr Smith will achieve in the future. I hope that all of us can appreaciate him and learn from him.

There are lots of books about the law of attraction and law of attraction techniques: yet the law is simple and you can grasp it in minutes. Like so many good things the law may mean a profound change in the way you think and see life. Try these ideas on:

• You must only ask to receive
• Believe it before you see it
• Your thoughts are things
• What you think is shaping reality
• Everything is energy and it is attracted or repelled by you.

None of those ideas are difficult and they underpin the Law of Attraction. Perhaps you’ve heard them from various Guru’s, you may have learned them in Church, many scriptures state the law of attraction, or aspects of it, in different ways.

If you recognize that the law of attraction has everything to do with the way you think, then what do you do about all the negative thoughts that swirl around in most peoples heads. The law of attraction says see the outcome you want and yet most of us have been conditioned to look at the worst things happening so we live a life of fear. The law seeks to empower you, to show you the best things happening, to let you live your life in a state of happiness and courage. So how to deal with these negative thoughts?

This is where the whole thing pivots. What you want is possible, believe that first. Learn to see and feel the possible in your minds eye – visualize.

Learn to create feelings of well being, happiness and gratitude. And the gratitude is for not only what you already have, no matter what it is, but for the thing that is possible, that you are now being grateful that it is here.

While you are doing this, play the Pollyanna game. Go rent the Disney movie and see how Pollyanna does it. There is something good in everything just learn to find it. If this sounds crazy, that’s OK, be crazy like Pollyanna and see the good in things, in people, in events, and in your life. You will create a positive energy and momentum in your life that will return more of the same to you.

On The Abby Road Album The Beatles sang, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” Love is the positive energy that comes along with the law of attraction.

What is the best law of attraction technique? You must only ask and receive. You will find that both simple and complex as you wrap your mind around all that it means.

The Law of Attraction is working in your life right now. The question is, is it operating randomly or by your deliberate intention? I invite you to visit http://www.TheRealMikeGriffin.com and while you are there pick up the free audio books in the sidebar.

What do you want to be like, who do you want to be, what do you want to do when you grow up?

Make A Vision

If you are 55 or 10 or any age you should answer the question, why?  The answer can be your vision that you flesh out to use the law of attraction.  It can be the vision you use to lead you to success.

Are there qualities of a particular person you’d like to incorporate?  Read about that person and see yourself doing those kinds of things, responding successfully as that person might.

See And Feel The Vision And Take Action!

Play this vision and add words to it to form a plan.  Napoleon Hill gives a formula in Think and Grow Rich.  These words you should go over in the morning and before bed to burn them into your mind.

Then – begin to act – ideas will be coming to you about the actions to take and you need to take action.

The whole idea of a vision is to create a burning desire which will sharpen your observation and create the desire to spur you to action.  Another part of your job is when dis empowering things come along that you manage them.  Do whatever it is so you will act and keep acting.

Act NOW - Waiting Solves Nothing

Remember, things won’t be perfect when you start and don’t think of waiting even an hour for things to be a little better.  The great Zig Ziglar asks, “do you wait for all the traffic lights to turn green before you leave home for the store?”  Of course you don’t – you’d never get there.  It is the same with your dreams and goals.

Run the movie in your mind, replay and enhance the vision – ideas will come and when you see the ideas you will act on them.

So why grow up?   Just keep asking yourself what you want, what and who you want to be when you do grow up.  Asking those questions keeps your mind open to possibility.

Never Give Up

Did you know that Colonel Sanders was 65 and trying to figure out how to make it on Social Security when he started Kentucky Fried Chicken?  He lived on for many years and saw it become a huge success and saw it make him a great deal of money before he died.  KFC started on his idea that the fried chicken recipe he had developed in his roadside restaurant in Corbin Kentucky was worth something.

A thousand people told him no as he traveled town-to-town, often sleeping in his car, trying to find someone to buy a franchise.  A thousand said no before he got his first yes.

And so the vision – the idea – the action must be bolstered by cultivating your thoughts so that you too can take some rejection, some knocks, and discomfort as you work toward your success.

Napoleon Hill said it best – that everything you want to accomplish in life has it’s beginnings in an idea.   It’s up to you to keep the idea alive and take action on it.

Growing up means figuring out what it is you want to be and do and it is a realization that it’s more than wishing, you have to do something.  But the magic combination of these things will get you anything you want and that is how The Law of Attraction Works.

20 years ago a friend introduced me to the teachings of Jim Rohn.  What a great adventure to adopt some of Jim’s philosophy’s.  Jim Rohn taught all about getting a personal philosophy of life.  He taught us to take pictures and journal and to mind and cultivate life.  He said, “An apple a day, what if it is true?”  He asked a lot of questions that way.  It turns out it is true as is so much more that Jim taught.   He was a life philosopher.
