			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">I collected the next two quotes and picked the tittle for this post several months ago.  As I flesh the piece out it has taken a somewhat different direction.  It is not obvious to me why I should leave these quotes on this article and not move them to a new one and yet, I think they and the title belong here.  Pardon my incongruous words and enjoy it anyway.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">“God speaks to all of us every hour, if we will only listen.”<br />
&#8211;George Washington Carver</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">Dr. Carver made that statement when asked why he didn&#8217;t patent many of his inventions.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Trust yourself &#8211; And you won&#8217;t be disappointed when vain people let you down.<br />
&#8211;Bob Dylan</h3>
<p>Do you believe enough in yourself to make a decision and press on?  Do you value yourself that much?  Society teaches us to always trust others and that is important but the lessons that say: trust yourself &#8211; where are they?</p>
<p>Learning to trust yourself is like waking up to the truth.</p>
<p>Fear and uncertainty, if they are pervasive in your life, are simply a lack of trust, a lack of faith in yourself.  Taking it further, if you have religious convictions, they are a lack of faith in God (however you perceive God).</p>
<p>You can restore faith and eliminate fear by seeing your outcome.  See the end from the beginning (as <a title="Denis Waitley" href="http://www.therealmikegriffin.com/denis-waitley-the-psychology-of-winning/#more-1001" target="_blank">Denis Waitley</a> so elegantly puts it), see the end and know that you have overcome that problem that may seem to have you down right now.  See the end and when you are discouraged buck yourself up with it.</p>
<p>Science tells us that the body experiences the same sensations from an imaginary vision as from the same thing happening in reality.  This is why Olympic and other athletes are taught to visualize success &#8211; to see the end from the beginning.  This causes several things to happen&#8230;</p>
<p>First there is real training that happens in the body.  Basketball players who see themselves making the shots improve about the same amount as those who actually do the physical practice.  Second because this instills belief inside &#8211; when problems and situations come up, when obstacles are in your path you are more likely to have the conviction to continue, to look for other ways to the same end than if you just come up against it and have no expectation of success.  And third, if you believe (or even if you don&#8217;t believe) the law of attraction kicks in and helps you attract that outcome.</p>
<p>So there it is: trust yourself, see the end from the beginning, and keep moving in the direction of your dreams always trusting that the answer for that next challenge is there.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>About Denis  Waitley And How I Came To Know His Work: </strong>I had discovered Napoleon Hill and Robert Collier in the late &#8217;60s, Maxwell Maltz and Earl Nightingale in the early &#8217;70s but while I was intrigued by the information it took &#8220;The Psychology of Winning&#8221; by Denis Waitley (mid &#8217;80s) to put it in a form that made sense to me.  He put it in a more useful form &#8211; I must have listened to his tapes 100&#8242;s of times.  I hear Dr. Waitley&#8217;s quotes all the time in my head now.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The law of attraction is a natural process that traditionally was set into motion for a child as the child received a blessing (a vision) from his father.  This blessing (vision) causes the child to gather and create thoughts and ideas surrounding it, which causes him to act in a bold way to bring it to pass.

That being a statement of the law of attraction applied you can see it is as old as man and a natural thing for all of us.  Except... it's been lost, God help us it has been lost.  It's time to get your birthright back.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>by Michael Griffin</strong></h3>
<h3>What Is My Birthright?</h3>
<p>If your parents did it right when you were a child they would have told you how wonderful you were and created dreams and visions and goals in you.  They would have started you off on the <strong>law of attraction</strong> by setting some great<strong> vibrations</strong> into motion.  Your parents would have used word pictures to describe the limitless heights you could achieve as you grew and became an adult.  This is our birthright to have the vision in our minds as we grow so there is a natural progression into <a href="http://www.therealmikegriffin.com/living-the-law-of-attraction/"><strong>living the law of attraction</strong></a> (more on this progression later).</p>
<p>The tradition goes back to Biblical times and beyond.  In the days of the Patriarchs one child or another was always getting some sort of blessing handed down and those blessings manifested in various ways in their lives.  (Some studies discuss Abraham&#8217;s blessing received directly from God Himself and about how that is our blessing too.  But that is not our topic here, perhaps in another post.)</p>
<p>The father would touch the child and speak the blessing which included not only an inheritance but also a vision of what that child would attain.  And so the child had the first element of the law of attraction for which he was grateful, a blessing was and is real.   Following naturally from the blessing comes the fountain of ideas that both pour out of and are collected by our minds concerning the vision, and this is the second element of the law of attraction.   What remains is the third element: the child takes action.   And all of this causes him to take action in a bold way to bring the vision to pass.  Such bold action brings the universe into harmony and causes it to conspire with him to bring it to pass.</p>
<p>These three things are our birthright; these three things are also the components of the law of attraction.</p>
<h3>The Law of Attraction (Vibration Set Into Motions)</h3>
<p>With a clear vision from the blessing and not doubting these stories played out and the visions came to pass.  One of Abraham&#8217;s blessings was to become a great nation (Gen 12:1-3).  Abraham held this vision and it was fulfilled and it was a vision so powerful that it passed on to the following generations.  Abraham had been called Abram to the point of this blessing and from the time of the blessing on his name was changed to Abraham.  In Hebrew Abraham meant &#8220;father of many nations.&#8221;   So the vision was not only one nation but many nations.</p>
<p>So Abraham was given a vision and he was given a mantra if you will.  His name was a constant reminder of the vision.  The vision and his very name set <strong>the vibrations of the law of attraction</strong> into motion.</p>
<p>Although Abraham and his wife were old they had a child (Abraham also had a child with his wife&#8217;s maid).   And so were born Issac and Ishmael.  Without getting into theology both sons went on to be fathers of great nations.  And we see a great vision not only providing purpose for the one receiving it but in this case passing through and inspiring his children and their children on into the generations and still continuing today.</p>
<p>This is a tradition that is common in all religious traditions, in all belief systems.  Some how we&#8217;ve lost the meaning that was attached to the events and they have become meaningless stories for most of us rather than rich stories with a multitude of meanings intended to strike a different chord in each of us so we can each find our unique vibration.</p>
<h3>The Science of Getting Rich</h3>
<p>We forget this birthright that is part of us and which was passed to us through the generations. Setting the law of attraction into motion is as timeless as the Bible.  In other posts I&#8217;ve described how it is in fact a natural in-built instinctive process that most of us lose contact with as we grow up.  <strong>The law of attraction is our birthright</strong> but most of us have been robbed and we will continue to be robbed until we can accept that such a simple idea, such a simple series of steps can profoundly alter our lives to the good.</p>
<p><a title="Master The Law of Attraction" href="http://www.therealmikegriffin.com/2009/02/use-the-science-of-getting-rich-to-master-the-law-of-attraction/">The Science of Getting Rich</a> can help you reclaim your birthright.  From the above discussion you will recognize that the book does not create a truth or a law, but rather it recognizes it, it points it out in a very clear way so that it becomes again accessible to those who would receive it, those who would receive their birthright.</p>
<p>The Science of Getting Rich will help you free your thinking to allow you to again harmonize with natural law for happiness, success, and the good things in life that are your birthright.  These things are your birthright but you must claim them from the inside.</p>
<p>The ball is in your court &#8211; you are about to tap knowledge that will take you to new levels but only if you make it a part of yourself and act on it.  Your birthright is to attract and manifest.  It was born into you take charge, take responsibility from this time on and claim it.</p>
<h3>How Can I Claim My Birthright?</h3>
<p>Begin to follow the three simple steps: vision, ideas, action.  <a title="Master the science of getting rich" href="http://www.therealmikegriffin.com/2009/02/use-the-science-of-getting-rich-to-master-the-law-of-attraction/">The Science of Getting Rich</a> will help build faith in you that it really is that simple.  It will help you remove the limits of what you suppose might be possible.  Since your parents probably didn&#8217;t provide the blessing, the vision, The Science of Getting Rich will help you find the inspiration (the spirit within) that will help you create or perhaps just discover a vision that is worthy of you, worthy of your life, and a vision that will create such vibrations that will perhaps span the countless generations who will follow you.</p>
