1. Success Is Easy, But So Is Neglect by Jim Rohn (excerpted from The Challenge to Succeed CD series)
People often ask me how I became successful in that six-year period of time
while many of the people I knew did not. The answer is simple: The things I
found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do. I found it easy to set
the goals that could change my life. They found it easy not to. I found it easy
to read the books that could affect my thinking and my ideas. They found that
easy not to. I found it easy to attend the classes and the seminars, and to get
around other successful people. They said it probably really wouldn't matter. If
I had to sum it up, I would say what I found to be easy to do, they found to be
easy not to do. Six years later, I'm a millionaire and they are all still
blaming the economy, the government, and company policies, yet they neglected to
do the basic, easy things.
In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing as well as they could and
should, can be summed up in a single word: neglect.
It is not the lack of money - banks are full of money. It is not the lack of
opportunity - America, and much of the free World, continues to offer the most
unprecedented and abundant opportunities in the last six thousand years of
recorded history. It is not the lack of books – libraries are full of books -
and they are free! It is not the schools - the classrooms are full of good
teachers. We have plenty of ministers, leaders, counselors and advisors.
Everything we would ever need to become rich and powerful and sophisticated is
within our reach. The major reason that so few take advantage of all that we
have is simply neglect.
Neglect is like an infection. Left unchecked it will spread throughout our
entire system of disciplines and eventually lead to a complete breakdown of a
potentially joy-filled and prosperous human life.
Not doing the things we know we should do causes us to feel guilty and guilt
leads to an erosion of self-confidence. As our self-confidence diminishes, so
does the level of our activity. And as our activity diminishes, our results
inevitably decline. And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken.
And as our attitude begins the slow shift from positive to negative, our
self-confidence diminishes even more... and on and on it goes.
So my suggestion is that when giving the choice of "easy to" and "easy not to"
that you do not neglect to do the simple, basic, "easy"; but potentially
life-changing activities and disciplines.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Words/Vocabulary by Jim Rohn
The two great words of antiquity are behold and beware. Behold the possibilities
and beware the temptations.
Vocabulary enables us to interpret and to express. If you have a limited
vocabulary, you will also have a limited vision and a limited future.
Well chosen words mixed with measured emotions is the basis of affecting people.
It's okay to send flowers, but don't let the flowers do all the talking. Flowers
have a limited vocabulary. About the best flowers can say is that you
remembered. But your words tell the rest.
Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for
understanding and awareness.
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. To order the TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Excerpts from TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy, please go to Jim Rohn's Online Catalog
3. The Virtue of Patience by Denis Waitley (Excerpted from The Psychology of Motivation)
While persistence is the determination to strive to achieve your ultimate goal,
there is another virtue of equally great value. Persistence keeps us moving
inside ourselves to see the purpose behind the purpose, but patience is the
wisdom behind persistence.
Patience cautions us to focus our efforts on what we can change while accepting
what we cannot. When external circumstance rains on our parade, patience is our
umbrella. Rather than blaming what we cannot control, patience is the wisdom
behind persistence.
It is when a goal is distant and difficult to reach that patience is an ally.
Time changes everything, but with patience you can keep your desires relatively
constant. If you can just hang on long enough, time will finally create the
conditions in which you can succeed.
-- Denis Waitley

"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." Jim Rohn
