6. More Information
1. The Subtlety of Language by Jim Rohn
I have found that sometimes the subtle difference in our attitude,
which of course can make a major difference in our future, can be as
simple as the language we use. The difference in even how you talk
to yourself or others. Consciously making a decision to quit saying
what you don't want and to start saying what you do want. I call
that faith. Believing the best, hoping for the best and moving
toward the best.
A few examples could be, instead of saying "What if somebody doesn't
respond" you start saying, "What if they do respond?" Instead of
saying "What if someone says no?" You say, "What if they say yes?"
Instead of "What if they start and quit?" say, "What if they start
and stay?" or "What if it doesn't work out?" You say, "What if it
does work out?" and the list goes on and on.
I found that when you start thinking and saying what you really want
then your mind automatically shifts and pulls you in that direction.
And sometimes it can be that simple, just a little twist in
vocabulary that illustrates your attitude and philosophy.
Our language can also affect how others perform and behave around
us. A teenager says to a parent, "I need $10." And if the parents
learn to say, "No comprende. That kind of language doesn't work
here. We've got plenty of money, but that's not how you get $10."
Then you teach your teenager how to ask, "How can I earn $10?"
That is the magic of words. There is plenty of money here. There is
money for everybody, but you just have to learn the magic words to
get them. For everything you could possibly want. If you just learn
the philosophy. How could I earn $10? Because you can't go to the
soil and say, "Give me a harvest." You know the soil smiles and
says, "Who is this clown that brings me his need and brings me no
seed." And if you said to the soil, "I've got this seed and if I
planted it, would you work while I sleep?" And the soil says, "No
problem. Give me the seed. Go to sleep and I'll be working while
you're sleeping."
If you just understand these simple principles, teaching them to a
teenager (or adult) is sometimes just a matter of language. It's
like an investment account instead of a savings account. Simple
language, but so important. It is easy to stumble through almost a
lifetime and not learn some of these simplicities. Then you have to
put up with all the lack and all the challenges that don't work out
simply from not reading the book, not listening to the tape, not
sitting in the class, not studying your language and not being
willing to search so you can then find.
But here is the great news. You can start this process anytime. For
me it was at age 25. At 25 I'm broke. Six years later I'm a
millionaire. Somebody says, "What kind of revolution, what kind of
change, what kind of thinking, what kind of magic had to happen? Was
it you?" And I say, "No. Any person, any six years, 36 to 42, 50 to
56. Whatever six years; whatever few years you go on an intensive,
accelerated personal development curve, learning curve, application
curve, and learning the disciplines. Now, it might not take the same
amount of time, but I'm telling you the same changes and the same
rewards in some different fashion are available for those who pay
that six year price. And you might find that whether it's in the
beginning to help get you started, or in the middle to keep you on
track, that your language can have a great impact on your attitude,
actions and results.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Perseverance/Persistence
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.
Americans are incredibly inpatient. Someone once said that the
shortest period of time in America is the time between when the
light turns green and when you hear the first horn honk.
The twin killers of success are impatience and greed.
How long should you try? Until.
Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you've
signed up for a season, see it through. You don't have to stay
forever, but at least stay until you see it through.
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. Seven Steps to Achieving Your Dreams by Chris Widener
"Vision is the spectacular that inspires us to carry out the
mundane." -- Chris Widener
Can achievement be broken down into steps? Well, it isn't always
that clean and easy, but I do know that those who achieve great
things usually go through much of the same process, with many of
the items listed below as part of that process. So if you have
been struggling with achievement, look through the following and
internalize the thoughts presented. Then begin to apply them.
You will be on the road to achieving your dream!
1. Dream it - Everything begins in the heart and mind. Every
great achievement began in the mind of one person. They dared to
dream, to believe that it was possible. Take some time to allow
yourself to ask "What if?" Think big. Don't let negative
thinking discourage you. You want to be a "dreamer." Dream of
the possibilities for yourself, your family, and for others. If
you had a dream that you let grow cold, re-ignite the dream! Fan
the flames. Life is too short to let it go. (Also, check out my
article "Dare to Dream Again," Which has been read by close to a
million people in the last 4 months alone. You can find it here
-
Dare to Dream Again.)
2. Believe it - Yes, your dream needs to be big. It needs to be
something that is seemingly beyond your capabilities. But it
also must be believable. You must be able to say that if certain
things take place, if others help, if you work hard enough,
though it is a big dream, it can still be done. Good example: A
person with no college education can dream that he will build a
50 million-dollar a year company. That is big, but believable.
Bad example: That a 90 year-old woman with arthritis will
someday run a marathon in under 3 hours. It is big alright, but
also impossible. She should instead focus on building a 50
million-dollar a year business! And she better get a move on!
3. See it - The great achievers have a habit. They "see" things.
They picture themselves walking around their CEO office in their
new 25 million-dollar corporate headquarters, even while they
are sitting on a folding chair in their garage "headquarters."
Great free-throw shooters in the NBA picture the ball going
through the basket. PGA golfers picture the ball going straight
down the fairway. World-class speakers picture themselves
speaking with energy and emotion. All of this grooms the mind to
control the body to carry out the dream.
4. Tell it - One reason many dreams never go anywhere is because
the dreamer keeps it all to himself. It is a quiet dream that
only lives inside of his mind. The one who wants to achieve
their dream must tell that dream to many people. One reason: As
we continually say it, we begin to believe it more and more. If
we are talking about it then it must be possible. Another
reason: It holds us accountable. When we have told others, it
spurs us on to actually do it so we don't look foolish.
5. Plan it - Every dream must take the form of a plan. The old
saying that you "get what you plan for" is so true. Your dream
won't just happen. You need to sit down, on a regular basis, and
plan out your strategy for achieving the dream. Think through
all of the details. Break the whole plan down into small,
workable parts. Then set a time frame for accomplishing each
task on your "dream plan."
6. Work it - Boy, wouldn't life be grand if we could quit before
this one! Unfortunately the successful are usually the hardest
workers. While the rest of the world is sitting on their couch
watching re-runs of Gilligan's Island, achievers are working on
their goal - achieving their dream. I have an equation that I
work with: Your short-term tasks, multiplied by time, equal your
long-term accomplishments. If you work on it each day,
eventually you will achieve your dream. War and Peace was
written, in longhand, page by page.
7. Enjoy it - When you have reached your goal and you are living
your dream, be sure to enjoy it. In fact, enjoy the trip too.
Give yourself some rewards along the way. Give yourself a huge
reward when you get there. Help others enjoy it. Be gracious and
generous. Use your dream to better others. Then go back to
number 1. And dream a little bigger this time!

http://www.jimrohn.com
I have been an admirer of yours for many years - since 1983 in fact
- when I was first introduced to the concept of network marketing,
that wonderful, ethical, truly democratic business concept that I
have loved ever since. The personal growth that results from being
in this business outweighs even the economic advantages. Thank you
for sharing your wisdom and insights with us. The world is blessed
and incredibly enriched by the existence of people like you. I wish
you everything you could ever wish for yourself and your loved ones.
-- Shirley Marsh
The tears have not yet dried in my eyes as in many others' eyes
after seeing and listening to you in Athens, Greece. I have seen you
before but this time you made 16000 Herbalife people recall you back
on stage 3 times. May God be with you for ever as you and your words
will be forever in our hearts and minds. I now realize what is the
meaning of a blessed person. You are truly blessed to be able to
touch and "transform" the lives of so many people. I have on video
your look and expression after seeing so many people react the way
we did. Wow! is the word you say many times. I will keep and cherish
this video for as long as I live. May God keep you well for a long,
long time so that you can continue to touch and change the lives of
as many people as possible.
-- I. Stratis
Please renew my emails for the 90-Days to Life Change. This program
has done me a lot of good -- and I appreciate it. But I am not there
yet! I still need the ideas reinforced because, sometimes it is so
hard to stay on track. It is so easy to get discouraged and to give
up if the E-mail doesn't come. I am also sharing it with my family.
-- Vicki G.
Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of
encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI
"There is nothing wrong with
affirmations, provided what you are affirming is the truth. If you
are broke, for example, the best thing to affirm is, 'I'm broke!'" Jim Rohn

"Very few of us are authorities on the
truth. About the closest that any of us can get is what we hope is
the truth or what we think is the truth. That's why the best
approach to truth is probably to say, 'It seems to me...'"
