1. The Great Leadership Challenge by Jim Rohn (excerpted from
Leading an Inspired Life)
If you want to be a leader who attracts quality people, the key is
to become a person of quality yourself. Leadership is the ability to
attract someone to the gifts, skills, and opportunities you offer as
an owner, as a manager, as a parent. What's important in leadership
is refining your skills. All great leaders keep working on
themselves until they become effective. Here are some specifics:
Learn to be strong but not impolite. It is an extra step you must
take to become a powerful, capable leader with a wide range of
reach. Some people mistake rudeness for strength. It's not even a
good substitute.
Next, learn to be kind but not weak. We must not mistake weakness
for kindness. Kindness isn't weak. Kindness is a certain type of
strength. We must be kind enough to tell someone the truth. We must
be kind enough and considerate enough to lay it on the line. We must
be kind enough to tell it like it is and not deal in delusion.
Next, learn to be bold but not a bully. It takes boldness to win the
day. To build your influence, you've got to walk in front of your
group. You've got to be willing to take the first arrow, tackle the
first problem, discover the first sign of trouble. Like the farmer,
if you want any rewards at harvest time, you have got to be bold and
face the weeds and the rain and the bugs straight on. You've got to
seize the moment.
Here's the next step. You've got to learn to be humble but not
timid. You can't get to the high life by being timid. Some people
mistake timidity for humility. But humility is a virtue; timidity is
a disease. It's an affliction. It can be cured, but it is a problem.
Humility is almost a God-like word. A sense of awe. A sense of
wonder. An awareness of the human soul and spirit. An understanding
that there is something unique about the human drama versus the rest
of life Humility is a grasp of the distance between us and the
stars, yet having the feeling that we're part of the stars.
Here's a good tip: Learn to be proud but not arrogant. It takes
pride to build your ambitions. It takes pride in your community. It
takes pride in a cause, in accomplishment. But the key to becoming a
good leader is to be proud without being arrogant. Do you know the
worst kind of arrogance? Arrogance from ignorance. It's intolerable.
If someone is smart and arrogant, we can tolerate that. But if
someone is ignorant and arrogant, that's just too much to take.
The next step is learning to develop humor without folly. In
leadership, we learn that it's okay to be witty but not silly; fun
but not foolish.
Next, deal in realities. Deal in truth. Save yourself the agony of
delusion. Just accept life as it is. Life is unique. The whole drama
of life is unique. It's fascinating. Life is unique. Leadership is
unique. The skills that work well for one leader may not work at all
for another. However, the fundamental skills of leadership can be
adopted to work well for just about everyone: at work, in the
community, and at home.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Problem Solving
To solve any problem, there are three questions to ask yourself:
First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, whom
could I ask?
The real problem is usually two or three questions deep. If you want
to go after someone's problem, be aware that most people aren't
going to reveal what the real problem is after the first question.
Neil Armstrong once said, "You only have to solve two problems when
going to the moon: first, how to get there; and second, how to get
back. The key is don't leave until you have solved both problems."
Never attack a problem without also presenting a solution.
The best place to solve a problem is on paper.
Vitamins for the Mind is a weekly sampling of original quotes, on a specific topic, taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn (TTOQ). TTOQ, a beautiful, burgundy hardbound book with gold foil lettering, is a collection of over 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim's personal journals, seminars and books spanning over 39 years.

3. Live in the Solution by Vic Johnson (excerpted from
Day by Day with James Allen)
"A person cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can
choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his
circumstances." - As A Man Thinketh
In her outstanding book, Choose the Happiness Habit, Pam Golden
writes: "Take the story of two brothers who are twins. One grows
up to be and alcoholic bum. The other becomes an extremely
successful businessman. When the alcoholic is asked why he
became a drunk, he replies, 'My father was a drunk.' When the
successful businessman is asked why he became successful, he
says, 'My father was a drunk.' Same background. Same upbringing.
Very different choices."
The brothers chose different thoughts about the identical
experience. Those thoughts over the years shaped the
circumstances they now find themselves in.
There was a time in my life when I chose to think about
challenges and obstacles as just more of the "bad luck" I seemed
to attract. Ever hear the expression "when it rains, it pours?"
That was my constant mantra when others asked me how things were
going. So what do you think I got more of? If you answered
"RAIN," you're correct!
Bob Proctor says, "you're either living in the problem or you’re
living in the solution." Now, when I'm confronted with what I
used to think was a negative situation, I use a different
thought process. I force myself to replace those negative
thoughts that creep in with positive thoughts about how I might
solve the "problem." Sometimes I'll take a notepad and just
start jotting down ideas that might be a solution. At the same
time, my thoughts are focused on the possible lessons I might
learn from the situation so that I might profit from the
experience in the future.
If you've guessed that it doesn't "rain" as much in my life as
it used to, you're correct again. In fact, most days it's a
beautiful, cloudless and sunny day! Only occasionally now do I
get any rain, and it's good rain, the kind that makes living
things grow.
And that's worth thinking about.
