Issue 26 - February 9, 2000 - Jim Rohn's Weekly E-zine
February 9, 2000 - Jim Rohn's Weekly E-zine Welcome to JIM ROHN'S WEEKLY E-ZINE Jim Rohn International - Home of jimrohn.com - The Official Site of America's Foremost Business Philosopher "In life you must get good at one of two things: sowing in the spring or begging in the fall." Jim Rohn The Jim Rohn Weekly E-zine is now currently reaching 13,504 weekly readers! We encourage you to forward JRWE to at least 3 of your clients, associates, and friends. If they like it, they will thank you. If they don't, they can choose not to subscribe. It is FREE! Enjoy! Today's issue includes: 1. Article by Jim Rohn - THE TWO CHOICES WE FACE 1. THE TWO CHOICES WE FACE by Jim Rohn Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation. And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice. To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all. Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can? Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings. Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of who and what they have become.

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: VALUES by Jim Rohn The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. That is why I wish to pay fair price for every value. If I have to pay for it or earn it, that makes something of me. If I get it for free, that makes nothing of me. All values must be won by contest, and after they have been won, they must be defended. Don't sell out your virtue and your value for something you think you want. Judas got the money, but he threw it all away and hung himself because he was so unhappy with himself. Values were meant to be costly. If it doesn't cost much, we probably wouldn't appreciate the value. Count the cost first. Don't pay too big a price for pursuing minor values. To order or to get more information on the TTOQ by Jim Rohn, or excerpts from the TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy, please and see details on our Featured Specials. GIFTS THAT INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE! 3. GUEST ARTICLE/Q AND A Each week we take one or two specific or frequently asked questions about or addressed to Jim Rohn and provide the answer. This week we would like to address frequently asked questions from our readers related to overcoming hardships, difficult circumstances and even tragedies in their lives through a special quest article by Doug Firebaugh. "A person dies daily, only to be reborn in the morning, bigger, better, wiser." Emmet Fox Criticism The list of pain in life goes on and on and on. But there is Good News!! At times during your day you will feel a little piece of you inside almost "dying" from someone's words, anger, criticism, and the like. But - A seed has to die in order to create the growth. Are you aware of that? A seed has to die to create the catalyst for the new growth to shoot forth. Life is like that too - it teaches you lessons about growth from the seeds it plants in you daily. And with the Morning coming, you will know that it is a brand new day and that yesterday has planted its seeds, and now you wait for the growth that will take place to propel you to greater heights. Life hurts at times. We know that. But when a little piece of you inside feels like it could die due to pain from other folks - Let it. The growth of a better and wiser person will shoot up from that seed of hurt someone planted yesterday. It may not sprout overnight, but it WILL grow. And you WILL get through what you are currently facing, whatever seed that is and no matter how painful ... how strong. I promise. Been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt. I'm still here.

Jim Rohn Testimonials - Feb 2 - 8 Here is a sampling of the testimonials and comments we received the past week from E-zine subscribers. Years ago I started listening to your tapes. Over the years, your words of wisdom became the cornerstone of my actions. These actions started reflecting a higher version of myself. I wanted to share this with you because there is no grander purpose in life than to help others feel good about themselves -- and that is what you have done for me. Sincerely, Jim is definitely the Best and the most inspirational & motivational speaker I have ever heard & met. I HIGHLY recommend his seminars & products (audio tapes, video tapes, and books) to anyone who's seriously wanting to take charge & control of very quality aspect of their life. Every entrepreneur should study & adopt Jim's philosophies. Jim had been my bosom mate whose words are a constant aid in keeping my sails trimmed. I can almost recite the previous weekend and one-day seminar tapes from memory. I love this business already and I haven't even really gotten started yet. I'm very excited about all the training that is so accessible - I never dreamed all of this was at my fingertips. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and all that had a part in designing this training. Thank you. Read several of his books and saw him in person in San Diego, CA in the 1980's. My mentors are Anthony Robbins, Charles Givens and Mr. Rohn. I am interested in any of his books, cassette tapes, videos and seminars. I had a box of cassettes, collecting dust in the basement from a previous network marketing experience. I got them out a couple of weeks ago and this was the first one that caught my eye. I have just now realized what a valuable tool this is and I have listened to it continuously on my way back and forth to work. The light has finally come on. I will build a library of Mr. Rohn's tapes and I know they will inspire me to move ahead and become the person I have always inspired to become. I believe that Mr. Rohn is America's finest and best motivational and inspirational business leader and speaker. He is without peer. He takes great thoughts and concepts and distills them into simple ideas that are easy to understand, use, and communicate. I have been listening to Mr. Rohn's tapes and videos since September 1993, i.e., almost every day and night. He has changed my life, and I use his concepts and ideas to change the lives of those around me (relatives, friends, and business associates). My only regret is that I have not been able to attend one of his live seminars. If at all possible, I will do this in the Year 2000. Best regards, Jim Rohn - The Art of Exceptional Living changed my life. I have given/recommended that tape series to more than 30 people in the last two years who have passed it along to many others. Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation! -- JRI "Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want." Jim Rohn 5.
