1. Personal Philosophy is Like The Set of The Sail by Jim Rohn
In the process of living, the winds of circumstances blow on us all in an unending flow that touches each of our lives.
We have all experienced the blowing winds of disappointment, despair and heartbreak. Why, then, would each of us, in our own individual ship of life, all beginning at the same point, with the same intended destination in mind, arrive at such different places at the end of the journey? Have we not all been blown by the winds of circumstances and buffeted by the turbulent storms of discontent?
What guides us to different destinations in life is determined by the way we have chosen to set our sail. The way that each of us thinks makes the major difference in where each of us arrive. The major difference is the set of the sail.
The same circumstances happen to us all. We have disappointments and challenges. We all have reversals and those moments when, in spite of our best plans and efforts, things just seem to fall apart. Challenging circumstances are not events reserved for the poor, the uneducated or the destitute. The rich and the poor have marital problems. The rich and the poor have the same challenges that can lead to financial ruin and personal despair. In the final analysis, it is not what happens that determines the quality of our lives, it is what we choose to do when we have struggled to set the sail and then discover, after all of our efforts, that the wind has changed directions.
When the winds change, we must change. We must struggle to our feet once more and rest the sail in the manner that will steer us toward the destination of our own deliberate choosing. The set of the sail, how we think and how we respond, has a far greater capacity to destroy our lives than any challenges we face. How quickly and responsibly we react to adversity is far more important than the adversity itself. Once we discipline ourselves to understand this, we will finally and willing conclude that the great challenge of life is to control the process of our thinking.
Learning to reset the sail with the changing winds rather than permitting ourselves to be blown in a direction we did not purposely choose requires the development of a whole new discipline. It involves going to work on establishing a powerful, personal philosophy that will help to influence in a positive way all that we do and that we think and decide. If we can succeed in this worthy endeavor, the result will be a change in the course of our income, lifestyle and relationships, and in how we feel about the things of value as well as the times of challenge. If we can alter the way we perceive, judge and decide upon the main issues of life, then we can dramatically change our lives.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
INFLUENCE/ASSOCIATION
There are two parts to influence: First, influence is powerful; and second, influence is subtle. You wouldn't let someone push you off course, but you might let someone nudge you off course and not even realize it.
We need a variety of input and influence and voices. You cannot get all the answers to life and business from one person or from one source.
Attitude is greatly shaped by influence and association.
Don't spend most of your time on the voices that don't count. Tune out the shallow voices so that you will have more time to tune in the valuable ones.
"No" puts distance between you and the wrong influence.
You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay?
Don't join an easy crowd; you won't grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.
Some people you can afford to spend a few minutes with, but not a few hours.
Get around people who have something of value to share with you. Their impact will continue to have a significant effect on your life long after they have departed.
********************************************************
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).

Allow the man who has influenced so many including - Anthony Robbins, Harvey MacKay, Les Brown, Brian Tracy, Jan Ruhe, Shelia Bethel Murray, Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield and millions more, help you to invent your future! Take advantage of this rare opportunity to spend two remarkable days with the Master of Success - Jim Rohn.
Four unique packages have been created that will allow anyone to attend - from a modest investment of a few hundred dollars up to a Platinum package that includes front & center seating; VIP lunches, special Friday night reception with Jim Rohn and guests (including William E. Bailey, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, Bob Burg, Tony Jeary and two surprise guests) a Sunday mastermind session with Jim; limited edition signed and numbered leather journal; 18 hours of the entire two-day and behind the scenes all filmed on DVD and much more.

Two days devoted by you coupled with the priceless wisdom offered by Jim, and together you will fashion the necessary tools needed to design a life that will be remarkable, memorable and ultimately the masterpiece you desire.
There is no comparison to the "live" event - ninety percent of the effect is being there. Ask anyone who has attended a theatrical production, a concert by Luciano Pavarotti, saw the Beatles in the `60s or went to a Super Bowl or Olympics- the sights, sounds and experiences are all magnified because you are there.

"If you wish to have power and influence over the many, be faithful (disciplined) when there are just a few. If you have a few employees, a few distributors, a few people, that's the time to stay in touch and be totally absorbed - when there is just a few." Jim Rohn
