There’s Only One Person Who Can Help You

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/

Get Excited Now!!! and Create the Life you Really Want

When you think of your future, does it get you excited? Does it keep you up at night daydreaming of the endless possibilities? When you think of your future, is it better or worse than things are now? And, if it’s better what does that mean to you?

Positive Thinking in Golf – Part 1

You can learn how to remember successes, to recall and relive them and to feel the confidence and drive from these times and to draw upon the components of success and transfer them to your future performance. … Why not spend a little bit of time in learning to visualize effectively? You can learn how to create more powerfully compelling visualizations with the help of hypnosis downloads. Why do you think the professionals use golf hypnosis?

The Power of Visualization! | Suzanne McKenna Life, Career

A wonderful quote from Neville Goddard sums up how important visualization and your imagination is in the change process. To attempt to change circumstances. … As you are inside the goal adjust the qualities of the picture, sounds and the feelings in order to make the goal the most real and compelling for you. – Imagine stepping out of the picture but leave your body in the picture, as if you are looking at a Polaroid snapshot of you attaining the goal. …

I like these things in life where you meet someone or see something and you get an impression. This is going to be really stupid. And then something happens and you connect on a new and higher level.

This is law of attraction stuff.  A person with nothing to distinguish himself dreams and takes action, after awhile something develops in him – something invisible to the world … until … until the universe conspires with him or her to bring opportunity.  Then it’s courage … does she or he have the courage to catch hold of the dream?

This has been happening recently on shows like Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent. These kinds of shows are not my favorites, in fact I don’t watch them at all – happily the very best from them makes it to YouTube and the blogs and I get to enjoy some real gems like Susan Boyle and Paul Potts and get moved and get to think about what it means.

And so we come to Kevin Skinner from Mayfield Kentucky, an unemployed farmer and former “chicken catcher.” See what you think and write something in the comments.

Kevin Skinner – America’s Got Talent

How can failure lead you to success? Great inventors like Thomas Edison talked about ideas like failing forward. Great baseball players strike out more than the hit home runs, new products fail more often than the succeed. John Maxwell has a book called “Failing Forward.”   If you Google “Failing Forward” there are more than 52 million results.

All human advancement is built on failure

If you are learning new skills, exploring new markets, entering a new sport, no matter what you are doing… don’t be discouraged when you don’t do it perfectly.

Sometimes a toxic environment whether home, or the wrong friends will taint your thinking and cause you to believe that you shouldn’t pursue your dream because you are not doing it perfectly, because you go out the first day and have no sales to show, because you struck out at bat, because you broke on the high note, because, because, because… Whose voice is that in your head telling you to stop. Whose voice is telling you you are not good enough.

Listen to the voice of your heart, listen to your dreams; aren’t your dreams a message from God? Aren’t your dreams sacred communication to you from the universe? Whose voice should you listen to?

I recall scriptures from Habbakuk: “…be utterly amazed, for I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” This is how our dreams are. We may have difficulty believing them: “me the top sales-performer?” “Me, valedictorian?” “Me the new manager?” “Me write a book?” Learn not to question those urgings from within they are God seeking to work through you.

Again from Habbakuk: “Write the vision and make it plain upon tables that he may run who reads it.”  I’ve always loved that scripture.  Write down those things from your heart and read them, run to carry them out.  Not every effort will produce results, you may fail more than you succeed especially at first, but continue.

As always Kalil Gibran has something good to say: “Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.”  This is what we are talking about here at the core of this post is the element of faith.  This doesn’t have to be religious if you don’t believe in God.  It’s about you, have the knowledge within your heart.

Failure: The Secret To Success

Failure. The mere thought can paralyze even the most heroic thinkers and keep great ideas off the drawing board. But is failing really that bad? We get an inside look at the mishaps of Honda racers, designers and engineers to learn how they draw upon failure to motivate them to succeed. From poor color choices to blown race engines, these risk-taking individuals provide an honest look at what most people fear most. Watch the film and discover the upside of failure.

Failure is not an end rather it is a message, try something else – achieve your dream…  Failure is not you, it is a message, try something else – achieve your dream…

What Is My Birthright?

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 law of attraction by setting some great vibrations 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 living the law of attraction (more on this progression later).

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’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.)

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.

These three things are our birthright; these three things are also the components of the law of attraction.

The Law of Attraction (Vibration Set Into Motions)

With a clear vision from the blessing and not doubting these stories played out and the visions came to pass. One of Abraham’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 “father of many nations.” So the vision was not only one nation but many nations.

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 the vibrations of the law of attraction into motion.

Although Abraham and his wife were old they had a child (Abraham also had a child with his wife’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.

This is a tradition that is common in all religious traditions, in all belief systems. Some how we’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.

The Science of Getting Rich

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’ve described how it is in fact a natural in-built instinctive process that most of us lose contact with as we grow up. The law of attraction is our birthright 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.

The Science of Getting Rich 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.

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.

The ball is in your court – 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.

How Can I Claim My Birthright?

Begin to follow the three simple steps: vision, ideas, action. The Science of Getting Rich 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’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.

The Law of Attraction by way of The Science of Getting Rich

Master the law of attraction, what if you could master it?  Did you know The Science of Getting Rich tells you exactly how to attain mastery?  What would mastery mean to you? Can you see yourself as master? Can you step into that vision and feel it? Your beautiful home, the ones you love around, and a knowing that you can advance in the direction of your dreams and overcome anything that might seem to be in the way. You might never have read the Bible but somewhere you heard the words of Jesus: “I tell you with certainty, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ if he doesn’t doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.” And you think that is the place I am in, I do not doubt in my heart and any mountains or problems that seem like mountains move out of my way. You are the master of the law of attraction.

The Science of Getting Rich

In 1910 a rather strange man named Wallace D. Wattles wrote what has become a classic success book: The Science of Getting Rich. This book while always getting a little attention through the years has become hugely popular again since the release of The Secret movie. Rhonda Byrne, the creator of the movie has said that The Science of Getting Rich was a major factor in the movie.

The Science of Getting Rich doesn’t use the words: “law of attraction” anywhere in it – yet in reading the book it is unmistakable that the law of attraction is what it is all about. Hold the vision of the thing you want in the invisible thinking substance that makes up the universe. Profound for 1910, today people discussing the law begin to talk about Physics and discoveries in quantum mechanics. We were perhaps better off with the simpler language which is part of the charm of Wattles book.

Master The Law of Attraction

Hold the vision, see the vision and step into it, experience it. At some point you will learn what to do and you must act. Wattles says: “By thought, the thing you want is brought to you. By action, you receive it.” A lot of people leave out the discussion of the action part when talking about the law of attraction. It is nice to think that all you have to do is dream, and your dreams will see reality. The idea of action says you might have to work at it a little bit too.

Yet it is this very “action” that activates the law of attraction and this is a key part of what wattles focuses on in The Science of Getting Rich. It’s all there in that book, laying in the open, and not “Secret” since 1910. On the previously linked website you will find not only a free E-book but also a free audio book of The Science of Getting Rich. We believe it is one of the best presentations of the book available on the web. You can also subscribe to the podcast dealing with the Science of Getting Rich, The Law of Attraction, Think and Grow Rich, As A Man Thinketh, and many other topics. All here at www.TheRealMikeGriffin.com and all free.

If you are looking for a program to help you further understand and master the Law of Attraction, check out The 11 Forgotten Laws. The 11 Forgotten Laws is a program for sale by Bob Proctor one of the teachers in The Secret.

Bob Proctor along with Michael Beckwith, and Jack Canfield also have a program to help you better learn The Science of Getting Rich. It is a program I listen to everyday.  They have woven real experiences along with the book and spun it in the way that only those teachers of The Secret can.  Find it at: www.TheRealMikeGriffin.com/sgr.
