"Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion." Jim Rohn Today's issue includes: 1. Article by Jim Rohn- THE MIRACLE OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
One day Mr. Shoaff said, "Jim, if you want to be wealthy and happy, learn this lesson well: Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job." Since that time I've been working on my own personal development. And I must admit that this has been the most challenging assignment of all. This business of personal development lasts a lifetime. You see, what you become is far more important than what you get. The important question to ask on the job is not, "What am I getting?" Instead, you should ask, "What am I becoming?" Getting and becoming are like Siamese twins: What you become directly influences what you get. Think of it this way: Most of what you have today you have attracted by becoming the person you are today. I've also found that income rarely exceeds personal development. Sometimes income takes a lucky jump, but unless you learn to handle the responsibilities that come with it, it will usually shrink back to the amount you can handle. If someone hands you a million dollars, you'd better hurry up and become a millionaire. A very rich man once said, "If you took all the money in the world and divided it equally among everybody, it would soon be back in the same pockets it was before." It is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development. So here's the great axiom of life: --TO HAVE MORE THAN YOU'VE GOT, BECOME MORE THAN YOU ARE-- This is where you should focus most of your attention. Otherwise, you just might have to contend with the axiom of not changing, which is: --UNLESS YOU CHANGE HOW YOU ARE, YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE WHAT YOU'VE GOT--

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: PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT by Jim Rohn To attract attractive people, you must be attractive. To attract powerful people, you must be powerful. To attract committed people, you must be committed. Instead of going to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If you become, you can attract. We can have more than we've got because we can become more than we are. The big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming. You cannot believe what it does to the human spirit to maximize your human potential and stretch yourself to the limit. Pity the man who inherits a million dollars and who isn't a millionaire. Here's what would be pitiful: If your income grew and you didn't. The most important question to ask on the job is not "What am I getting?" The most important question to ask on the job is "What am I becoming?" It is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development. After you become a millionaire, you can give all of your money away because what's important is not the million dollars; what's important is the person you have become in the process of becoming a millionaire. Income seldom exceeds personal development. What you become directly influences what you get.

"If you share a good idea long enough, it will eventually fall on the ears of good people." Jim Rohn 6. 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. In referencing this extraordinary man - Earl Shoaff, I've heard you say he died early. How old was Mr. Shoaff? Was he healthy? Are there any lessons to be learned by his death? If so, have they affected your life? MJ A. Because Mr. Shoaff was so extraordinary, and so profoundly influenced my life, it is always difficult for me to reference any of his flaws. To answer your questions, Mr. Shoaff passed on at age 49 from cirrhosis of the liver. For all of his uniqueness and wisdom, he miscalculated on two major things; one was his Camels and the other was his champagne. I do believe that way back then if the cigarette package had said there was a chance they could kill you - he would have backed off. And yes, Mr. Shoaff's early passing and the cause did affect my health habits and me. "Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment." Jim Rohn 7. Jim Rohn Testimonials - Feb 16 -22 Here is a sampling of the testimonials and comments we received this past week from E-zine subscribers. I love Jim Rohn. Met him in person a few times and both him and his products inspire me! Watched video tapes again recently. Very good -- even loaned to a friend in need of encouragement. Love your stuff, can't wait to get my order!! Jim is the greatest. So much knowledge. He shares it like no one else can. Dear Jim, I have listened to many of your tapes. I love your philosophies. You teach truth. I hope God continues to bless you with great wit and wisdom and long and healthy life. Your philosophies ARE true. YOUR MATERIALS AND LECTURES ARE MARVELOUS! Your style is very refreshing, well understood, simple and powerful! Dear Jim, Your work is simply outstanding. I have purchased and read and listened to all your books & tapes over the last year. Your tapes are a great education during my "windshield time" of about an hour to work and back. Your Ezine is also fascinating. Thank you. Dear Jim Rohn, thank you for the letter that I receive every week. I must say I did not read the whole letter in the beginning but now I cannot wait to read it two times!! Thank you for the wonderful letters! Thank you. I am very grateful to be a student of life and have access to an accomplished teacher who walks his talk. 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. Hi Jim, I wanted to tell you how very much I enjoy your newsletter. I am 60 years old and don't believe in the old saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" as I have learned a lot from your newsletters. I forward a lot of them to friends and family. Keep up the good work. Your faithful reader, I commute to work everyday 25 miles and listen to Jim Rohn tapes everyday over and over. I have a lot to change, but I am confident that as I continue to listen and apply what Jim Rohn teaches, it has to become apparent in my life. I can't get enough. I also share them with my children who are all young adults and one teenager 15 yrs. old. My dream for my children is that they will listen and apply these lessons to their life and be truly successful in life. Jim Rohn can teach things that I as a single parent of 14 years can only try to teach. Thank you Jim Rohn. Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation! -- JRI "Don't say, "If I could, I would." Say, "If I can, I will." Jim Rohn 8.
