"There are three things to leave behind: your photographs, your library and your personal journals. These things are certainly going to be more valuable to future generations than your furniture!" Jim Rohn Today's issue includes: 1. Article by Jim Rohn - CHANGE BEGINS WITH CHOICE
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year. We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not need more answers or more time to think things over to reach better conclusions. They need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need nothing but the truth. We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to lead us down the wrong path. We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest difference in how our life works out. And then we must make the very choices that will bring life, happiness and joy into our daily lives. And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and needing to make changes in their life - If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform every area in your life - and it all begins with your very own power of choice. To Your Success, To read previous articles, quotes and Q and A from the Jim Rohn Weekly E-zine archives, or to get a complete listing of Jim Rohn's books, audios, videos and seminar schedule or to place an order; please use the Directory Links to your left, or call 800-929-0434 M-F 8:30-5:30 CST. 2. VITAMINS FOR THE MIND Vitamins for the Mind are a weekly sampling of original quotes, on a specific topic, taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. TTOQ are a collection of over 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim's personal journals, seminars and books spanning over 35 years. This week's topic: CHANGE/CHOICE/DECISION by Jim Rohn One of the best places to start to turn your life around is by doing whatever appears on your mental "I should" list. Indecision is the thief of opportunity. Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand, have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all you can do? You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight. Decision making can sometimes seem like inner civil war. I used to say, "I sure hope things will change." Then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change. Don't say, "If I could, I would." Say, "If I can, I will." It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off! You cannot make progress without making decisions. We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation.

GIFTS THAT INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE! 3. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Each week we take one or two specific or frequently asked questions about or addressed to Jim Rohn and provide the answer. Q. Jim, a friend recently introduced me to your philosophies. They have quoted as you as saying that success is easy - what do you mean by that? JB A. Well, the short answer is that most accomplishments can be broken down into small manageable parts. And that as a whole, the project might look difficult or even impossible, but when approached in small bite-sized pieces, it is indeed easy. Examples: Lose 50 pounds. That is only one pound a week over one year. Is one pound a week hard? No, even if you have a slow metabolism, most people can lose one pound a week. Read 50 books. One book a week over the next year. Contact 500 people about a new opportunity. Its only 2 people a day, five days a week over the period of a year. Learning a new language? Learn just 5-10 words a day. At the end of a year you will have learned 1500-3000 words of a new language. Become financially independent? Saving/investing 5-10% of your money at an 8-12% return over 20-40 years almost guarantees you financial independence when you retire (if not much sooner). And again the question: is all this easy? My answer is absolutely, especially compared to many other places around the world. So what's the problem? The problem is that it is also easy not to. Success is easy, but so is failure. So we all get to choose the "easy" in life - easy to or easy not to. "Most homes valued at over $250,000 have a library. That should tell us something." Jim Rohn 4.

Jim Rohn Testimonials - Jan 19 - 26 Here is a sampling of the testimonials and comments we received the past week from E-zine subscribers. (Does not include all the wonderful comments that our readers sent out to their warm markets promoting Jim's E-zine - Thank you readers for all the hundreds of kind words!) I have purchased your tapes before but never online, you have changed my life forever. I have gone from working at a video arcade center to becoming the Director of a multi-million dollar company at 19. I am most impressed with the way you articulate your thoughts into words. Thanks for everything. I've heard your tapes and they are really helpful and a good way to inspire. They are just great. I have about all of your programs. I have #51 of the Treasury of Quotes. I'm long time admirer of Jim's. I love Jim's down to earth practicality. I have taken his advice with renewed vigor to work harder on myself than I do on my job. I have the word, Until.., printed in bold letters staring at me everyday. Just moved and rediscovered your audiocassette tapes we purchased a couple of years ago at your seminar. I'm enjoying your tapes as much today as I did a couple of years ago. Listen to them as I'm riding my exercise bike in the morning. Thank you. Just a quick note to express my appreciation to be able to access the wisdom of Jim Rohn. He has been a valuable addition to my self development and understanding. My introduction was through a national seminar given by Tom Hopkins referring to Jim as his mentor. From that seminar I purchased the audio set by Jim Rohn that I have used myself as well as for my children as to the process of life and dealing with the variables. I was unaware of the fact that Jim Rohn is continuing to conduct seminars and publish books/articles, etc. Therefore I was pleased to have had your website referred to me from a business source recently. Thanks again, I've seen Jim Rohn in a Seminar years ago & in my opinion he's the best motivational speaker I've ever heard! Was given The Challenge to Succeed in the 90's. Wonderful!! Inspirational! I just attended the NII Winter Conference in Daytona Beach with Jim Rohn as the Special Guest speaker. He definitely made a great impact, not only on me, but to all those around me. The one thought that I wrote in my journal as I listen to Mr. Rohn was that I had the honor of hearing Mr. Rohn speak five years ago at an NII Conference and I wrote to myself. "Even great teachers and speakers continue to improve their skills ... to strive to even greater heights and challenges ... for Jim Rohn, today as I listen, is more powerful, more thought-provoking than five years ago when I first heard him." What a wonderful example to follow!
