1. Love the Opportunity by Jim Rohn
Somebody said you have to love what you do, but that's not necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity. The opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune. Knocking on someone's door may not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be behind that door.
For example, a guy says, "I'm digging ditches. Should I love digging ditches?" The answer is, "No, you don't have to love digging ditches, but if it is your first entry onto the ladder of success, you say, 'I'm glad somebody gave me the opportunity to dig ditches and I'm going to do it so well, I won't be here long.'"
You can be inspired by having found something; even though you are making mistakes in the beginning and even though it is a little distasteful taking on a new discipline that you haven't learned before. You don't have to love it, you just have to learn to appreciate America, appreciate opportunity and appreciate the person who brought you the good news; that found you.
Appreciate the person who believed in you before you believed in yourself, appreciate the person who said, "Hey, if I can do it, you can do it."
If you will embrace the disciplines associated with the new opportunity you will soon find that your self-confidence starts to grow, that you go from being a skeptic to being a believer. And soon when you go out person to person, talking to people, you will find it to be the most thrilling opportunity in the world. Every person you meet - what could it be? Unlimited! Maybe a friend for life. The next person could be an open door to retiring. The next person could be a colleague for years to come. It's big time stuff. And sometimes in the beginning when we are just getting started we don't always see how big it is.
So, before you are tempted to give up or get discouraged, remember all success is based on long term commitment, faith, discipline, attitude and a few stepping stones along the way. You might not like the stone you are on right now, but it's sure to be one of the stones that lead to great opportunities in the future.
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. 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. Positive Thinking By Zig Ziglar
Just what can positive thinking do? To be candid, some people have given positive thinking a bad name. I can't stand to hear some gung-ho individual say that with positive thinking you can just do "anything." If you think about that one for a moment, you recognize the absurdity of it. As a ridiculous example, I'm a positive thinker, but I could never slam-dunk a basketball or perform major surgery - or even minor surgery - on anyone and expect that person to survive. Nate Newton, 300-plus pound former lineman for the Dallas Cowboys, is positive, optimistic and outgoing but he'd be a complete failure as a jockey or a ballet dancer.
It's safe to say that positive thinking won't let you do "anything." However, it is even safer to say that positive thinking will let you do "everything" better than negative thinking will. Positive thinking will let you use the ability which you have, and that is awesome. It works this way. You can walk into a dark room, flip on the switch and immediately the room is lighted. Flipping the switch did not generate the electricity; it released the electricity which had been stored. Positive thinking works that way - it releases the abilities which you have.
The student who hasn't studied and prepared for the test won't be helped by "thinking positively." However, positive thinking will help the student who has studied and prepared by "releasing" the stored knowledge when the questions are asked. To express it in a different way, knowledge breeds confidence; confidence breeds enthusiasm; and enthusiasm is an important key to being and doing more with your life.
Buy the positive approach to life and I will SEE YOU AT THE TOP!
Zig Ziglar
"Success is neither magical nor mysterious.
Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals." Jim Rohn
4. Mental Toughness Anyone?
If you are a sports enthusiast on any level, you understand the importance of mental toughness!
Whether it is golf, tennis, football, basketball, baseball, hockey, racing, track and field (and any other sports related event) – those players and teams who consistently achieve and win are noted for being mentally tough.
This same mental toughness also stretches into every area of each of our lives, whether it is business, relationships, finances and just plain old decision making.
I had the opportunity to meet David Cook a few years ago (he was about to be interviewed by Chris Widener on the subject of Mental Toughness on Chris' Made for Success program). David has 3 championship rings that he won while on staff of the San Antonio Spurs as their sports psychologist. As we talked he shared his passion to reach as many youth as possible, primarily by affecting coaches and parents, and equipping them with ways to help youth excel not only in sports but also in life. Of course, these same principles apply to all of us, but he saw how quickly the ripple effect can be felt when parents, teachers, coaches and leaders apply these success principles in their own lives and in the people they influence.
Here's a glimmer of what you'll discover from David Cook:
The cause of unnecessary stress and anxiety, and how to cure it.
Why you can consider fear of failure a blessing.
The great American trap – the common "gauge of success" that causes most people to undermine their worth and how to break free from it.
The one "coaching" method that anyone can use, in any field or industry, that creates a strong and united team.
Why some people dominate their industries while most others fail even before they get started. Find out what makes the difference and how you can be one of those who succeed!
Find out how you can banish any "interference" that goes on in your head and never be "tongue tied" whenever you're giving a presentation.

"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." Jim Rohn

seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the

to be a little suspicious of someone who says, "I've got a new fundamental."
