1. ACTION VS SELF-DELUSION by Jim Rohn
Knowledge fueled by emotion equals action. Action is the ingredient that ensures
results. Only action can cause reaction. Further, only positive action can cause
positive reaction.
Action. The whole world loves to watch those who make things happen, and it
rewards them for causing waves of productive enterprise.
I stress this because today I see many people who are really sold on
affirmations. And yet there is a famous saying that "Faith without action serves
no useful purpose." How true!
I have nothing against affirmations as a tool to create action. Repeated to
reinforce a disciplined plan, affirmations can help create wonderful results.
But there is also a very thin line between faith and folly.
You see - affirmations without action can be the beginnings of self-delusion.
And for your well-being there is little worse than self-delusion.
The man who dreams of wealth and yet walks daily toward certain financial
disaster and the woman who wishes for happiness and yet thinks thoughts and
commits acts that lead her toward certain despair are both victims of the false
hope which affirmations without action can manufacture. Why?
Because words soothe and, like a narcotic, they lull us into a state of
complacency. Remember this: TO MAKE PROGRESS YOU MUST ACTUALLY GET STARTED!
The key is to take a step today. Whatever the project, start TODAY. Start
clearing out a drawer of your newly organized desk ... today. Start setting your
first goal... today.
Start listening to motivational cassettes ... today. Start a sensible
weight-reduction plan ... today. Start calling on one tough customer a day ...
today. Start putting money in your new "investment for fortune" account ...
today. Write a long-overdue letter ... today. ANYONE CAN! Even an uninspired
person can start reading inspiring books.
Get some momentum going on your new commitment for the good life. See how many
activities you can pile on your new commitment to the better life. Go all out!
Break away from the downward pull of gravity. Start your thrusters going.
Prove to yourself that the waiting is over and the hoping is past -- that faith
and action have now taken charge.
It's a new day, a new beginning for your new life. With discipline you will be
amazed at how much progress you'll be able to make. What have you got to lose
except the guilt and fear of the past?
Now, I offer you this challenge: See how many things you can start and continue
in this -- the first day of your new beginning.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
CAREER/MARKETPLACE by Jim Rohn
My father taught me to always do more than you get paid for as an investment in
your future.
Whether you stay six weeks, six months or six years, always leave it better than
you found it.
Don't bring your need to the marketplace, bring your skill. If you don't feel
well, tell your doctor, but not the marketplace. If you need money, go to the
bank, but not the marketplace.
If you make a sale, you can make a living. If you make an investment of time and
good service in a customer, you can make a fortune.
Don't just let your business or your job make something for you; let it make
something of you.
Lack of homework shows up in the marketplace as well as in the classroom.
Where you start in the marketplace is not where you have to stay.
The worst days of those who enjoy what they do are better than the best days of
those who don't.
We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. It takes time to bring value
to the marketplace, but we get paid for the value, not the time.
Here's the major problem with going on strike for more money:
You cannot get rich by demand.
********************************************************
Vitamins for the Mind are a weekly sampling of original quotes, on a specific

I can't believe what I've missed all these years! I just listened to my first
Jim Rohn tape about building your network marketing business and it is FABULOUS!
Thank you! Now I'm told that you are on your last speaking tour so I'm trying to
find the schedule so I can attend!
-- Donna Jean Hinders
Dear Jim! Your inspiration has given me so much in my personal life and in
Business life. To develop skills and go on with my dream is what I do. I can see
friends and family not living their dreams because of fear. I am afraid too, but
whatever it takes, I will do it. I make bigger plans, have bigger dreams and I
love the life I live. Now! Right now - not one day someday in the future, but
now. I choose to be happy and self-expressed every day.
-- Helle Lengsholm, Supervisor/Herbalife - Denmark
Mr. Rohn. I first saw you in Las Vegas at the PPL convention last year when I
was 18. From then on my life has changed forever. Thanks!
-- Greg Cruz Viegas, Pre Paid Legal
Jim is my guide to life's Philosophy and a man to me in high esteem. God bless
him.
-- John A. Mcguire, Home-based Enterprise
If Anthony Robbins says you are a mentor to him, I had no choice but to listen.
I first was exposed to your Treasury of Quotes. I didn't realize what I was
missing and I now listen to your tapes over and over!
-- John F. Kleinfelder, Acn
Very, very good!!! I believe he is tops in his field.
-- William Seavey, Cv Enterprises
I really look forward to your weekly E-zine. There is so much I can apply
immediately to my life. Thank you for sharing such motivational material.
-- Liz Trimnell
I saw Jim speak in Ft. Lauderdale on February 24, 2001, and he is everything
everyone says he is. I was truly impressed with his common sense approach to
life and his genuineness. He sincerely believes in helping others, which
explains his success. I always look forward to reading his ezine, and send it to
others to help them through their day.
-- Tina Hancock
I am so grateful for your weekly messages. I write them down & send them to my
son, who has been in a Texas prison since age 15 (20 years now). He always
writes back and says, "Mama, that was right on time!" You inspire me and my son
and others in that negative place. Thanks again and I look forward to perhaps
some day being able to see/hear you in person.
-- S. H.
I went from making $2,000 a week to $10,000 a week after listening to Jim's
two-day seminar.
-- Dave Portnoy, Women's Group
I met Jim years ago when I was a limo driver for Melvin Behnke. When I delivered
Mr. Rohn to the hotel he just sat there and visited with me in the Limo for
about 10 minutes. I remember we talked about appreciating the beauty of flowers.
-- Chadd Conyers, Cell Tech
Hi Jan (Ruhe), Thanks for the reply, to answer your question I am with a company
called Kleeneze, which I know you have heard of because I have just received
your champion news and you mention you have mentioned Jim Rohn. I have just
finished reading Jim Rohn's Seven STRATEGIES FOR WEALTH & HAPPINESS and it was
mind blowing!!!!!! Are there any books you would recommend? Well got to go Jan
and thanks again for the reply.
BE HAPPY!!!!!!!!
-- Kieran Meehan
Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and
appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI
