BECOME A GOOD OBSERVER by Jim Rohn We must never allow a day to pass without finding the answers to a list of important questions such as: What is going on in our industry? What new challenges are currently facing our government? Our community? Our neighborhood? What are the new breakthroughs, the new opportunities, the new tools and techniques that have recently come to light? Who are the new personalities that are influencing world and local opinion? We must become good observers and astute evaluators of all that is going on around us. All events affect us, and what affects us leaves an imprint on what we will one day be and how we will one day live. One of the major reasons why people are not doing well is because they keep trying to get through the day. A more worthy challenge is to try to get from the day. We must become sensitive enough to observe and ponder what is happening around us. Be alert. Be awake. Let life and all of its subtle messages touch us. Often, the most extraordinary opportunities are hidden among the seemingly insignificant events of life. If we do not pay attention to these events, we can easily miss the opportunities. So be a good observer of both life and the world around you.

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: FASCINATION by Jim Rohn Fascination is one step beyond interest. Interested people want to know if it works. Fascinated people want to learn how it works. Learn how to turn frustration into fascination. You will learn more being fascinated by life than you will by being frustrated by it. I'm on my way to the airport to catch a plane that leaves in 45 minutes. The traffic is not moving one inch. I am now fascinated - not frustrated, but fascinated. But I must admit, it doesn't work every time. Develop a childlike fascination with life and people. 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 go to our site and see details on our Featured Specials. 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, I hear you say discipline is a key to success. But, in spite of how much I've tried to lose weight and earn more money in my sales position, discipline continues to be my biggest challenge. How can I get over the hurdle? JW A. I believe you should start with one or two easy, small disciplines and then begin to string several easy, small ones together. Start making one extra call a day. Start walking around the block. Do five setups. Eat a piece of fruit instead of dessert. Then try and build a little bit more each day on your successes. You see, everything affects everything else. Every discipline, or lack of one, affects every other discipline. So I believe by doing the easy disciplines every day you will begin to see immediate results and hopefully gain the much needed momentum and excitement that will help you to continue to take bigger and bigger steps to a more disciplined and productive life. Good luck! "It takes time to build a corporate work of art. It takes time to build a life. And it takes time to develop and grow. So give yourself, your enterprise, and your family the time they deserve and the time they require." Jim Rohn 4. Jim Rohn Testimonials - Feb 9 -15 Here is a sampling of the testimonials and comments we received the past week from E-zine subscribers. I absolutely love your tapes. While I'm on the road they provide my mind with motivation and inspiration. I'm constantly providing food for my mind, and I believe the information that Jim espouses is some of the healthiest food I can eat!!! Saturday 2/13/00 at Long Beach Convention Center, Jim was awesome! So inspirational!!! Looking forward to the Forum in LA. Life changing material! Mr. Rohn, I very much doubt that this will find its way to you, but I will never know unless I try. In brief my life fell apart five years ago and I was then later given your tape series called "The Art of Exceptional Living". It gave me focus and helped me through some tough times. Today I am a very successful talk show host in Toronto Canada and would very much like to have you on someday as a guest. I have done shows in the past and quoted you on many occasions where the philosophy seemed to fit the occasion. I am on my way to making a million dollars. Not for what I will get, but for what it will make of me to achieve it. I trust you are well. Thank you sir, Jim, I have met you through Herbalife trainings. Your speaking is so great and unbelievable. One of my goals was for you to sign a book you recommend, The Richest Man in Babylon." I finally was able to check off that goal. I listen to your tapes weekly and my self being has changed for the better from your tapes. Then my in-laws gave me the "Take Charge of Your Life" tapes and I went through them the first week. Once again, Thanks for being you and I hope to see you again. Awesome. I attended one of Jim's seminars in 1995. I took his "apple a day" theory to practice and have faithfully followed it every day since. It changed my life and I have also never had a cold or the flu since. Incredible! I am a teacher in Rhode Island. I receive the Motivational Messages email daily. I love the piece today from your site, "The Two Choices We Face" - With your permission, I would like to post it on our site for the week and to use it in our classroom as part of a lesson. If it isn't permissible then that is fine, but I think that it is a great piece and I can get the kids to respond to it. Please let me know. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Best "life" speaker I have ever listened to, except of course, my father, and isn't that the way it's supposed to be in life? My desire is to transform my life into others by Jim's wisdom & teaching. By leading other 25 year old men & women to Jim's teaching. It's never to late to start, I'm 40 now; I only wish I heard of Jim 16+ years ago. But, believe me I'm glad I didn't hear of Jim in 40+ years from now, or worse yet, never did anything about it. Thanks again. A friend for life, Thank you doesn't seem enough. I found your website this morning quite by accident. The amazing coincidence is I read about you just last night in Patricia Fripp's fabulous book, "Get What You Want". In reading the last paragraph of your article on the Four Emotions That Can Lead To Life Change, I was overcome with emotion. For the first time, I believe that I really can succeed and make my dreams come true. I'm a self-employed single mom with three kids and lately I have felt that others were losing faith in me. I've been merely surviving day to day and most tragically I had lost faith and belief in myself. This morning, the revelation broke through the clouds and I broke too. I've felt the disgust, made the decision, definitely have the desire and am resolved to see it through. "How long am I going to work to make my dreams come true?" Until. Thank you from the depths of my heart and soul. Jim Rohn has changed my life. I've lost 80 lbs. I've gone from returning soda bottles to buy cigarettes to approaching six figures at the end of 1999. God Bless You, Jim. You have not only helped me grow; but also my husband. At one time, he "tolerated" listening to your tapes with me on road trips. On our last trip he asked me "Why didn't you bring Jim with us this time?" because I just goofed and forgot to grab it. THANK YOU! from one grateful toy lady and one "growing" Navy pilot! Mr. Rohn, you are the greatest speaker I have every heard!! Jim Rohn is the best "truth speaker" I've ever heard. I believe his words are based on Christian values. He can crystallize the essence of his points in a way that is very unique. I hope you will take a few moments and really listen to him. Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation! -- JRI "How long should you try? Until." Jim Rohn 5.
