1. Creating Your Character is Like an Artist Creating a Sculpture by Jim Rohn (excerpted from the Cultivating an Unshakable Character series)
Could creating your character be likened to an artist creating a sculpture? In my opinion, I believe that character is not something that just happens by itself, any more than a chisel can create a work of art without the hand of an artist guiding it. In both instances, a conscious decision for a specific outcome has been made. A conscious process is at work. Character is the result of hundreds and hundreds of choices you make that gradually turn who you are, at any given moment, into who you want to be. If that decision-making process is not present, you will still be somebody. You will still be alive, but may have a personality rather than a character.Character is not something you were born with and can't change like your fingerprint. In fact, because you weren't born with it, it is something that you must take responsibility for creating. I don't believe that adversity by itself builds character and I certainly don't think that success erodes it. Character is built by how you respond to what happens in your life. Whether it's winning every game or losing every game. Getting rich or dealing with hard times. You build character out of certain qualities that you must create and diligently nurture within yourself. Just like you would plant and water a seed or gather wood and build a campfire. You've got to look for those things in your heart and in your gut. You've got to chisel away in order to find them. Just like chiseling away the rock in order to create the sculpture that has previously existed only in your imagination.
But do you want to know the really amazing thing about character? If you are sincerely committed to making yourself into the person you want to be, you'll not only create those qualities, but you'll continually strengthen them. And you will recreate them in abundance even as you are drawing on them every day of your life. Just like the burning bush in the biblical book of Exodus, the bush burned but the flames did not consume it. Character sustains itself and nurtures itself even as it is being put to work, tested, and challenged. And once character is formed, it will serve as a solid, lasting foundation upon which to build the life you desire.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Change/Choice/Decision by Jim Rohn
One of the best places to start to turn your life around is by doing whatever appears on your mental "I should" list.Indecision is the thief of opportunity.
Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand, have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all you can do?
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.
Decision making can sometimes seem like inner civil war.
I used to say, "I sure hope things will change." Then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change.
Don't say, "If I could, I would." Say, "If I can, I will."
It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off! You cannot make progress without making decisions.
We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation.
If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.
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. Achieving Success by Expecting Success by Zig Ziglar
When you plan and prepare carefully, you can legitimately expect
to have success in your efforts. When you recognize and develop the
winning qualities that you were born with, the winner you were born
to be emerges. When you plan and prepare to make a sale, for
example, you can legitimately expect to make a sale. Although not
all your expectations are going to come to pass, you give yourself
an infinitely better chance of succeeding by taking the proper
steps. Regardless of your goal--losing weight, making more sales,
furthering your education, earning a promotion, saving money for a
new home or an exotic vacation--you can expect to achieve your goal
if you plan and prepare for it.
Also understand that the path from where you are to where you want
to be is not always smooth and straight. The reason for the twists
and bumps is simple, and it has nothing to do with you. It has more
to do with the fact that not everyone is as interested in your
success as you are. Some people may accidentally hinder your
efforts; others who are in competition with you and have little or
no integrity may try to sabotage your efforts.
Keep in mind, though, that when you hit those roadblocks your
character, commitment, and attitude are the determining factors in
your success... Carefully review your plan of action, seek wise
counsel, and be particularly careful to feed your mind good
information. An optimistic, positive mind is far more likely to come
up with creative solutions than a mind that dwells on setbacks and
difficulties.
Bottom line: expect success and you can achieve it!

I am a new subscriber to your E-zine. I've received my first weekly
magazine. I must confess that it is absolutely as educative as it is
motivational. Especially, Chris Widener's article on THE BEST TEST
has kick-started some of my dead and abandoned dreams. KUDOS to Jim
and his team.
-- Chijioke Ezekpo
Dear Hilary, We are an Event Management company and Jim is one of my
favorites in the area of professional development! I heard Jim speak
in Minneapolis in 1993... his words made a GIANT impact on my life
that day - I'll never forget it! I am where I am today due in great
part to Jim's teachings and advice via books and audio programs.
Continued Success to you and your team! Please pass on a BIG Thank
You to Jim from me!
-- Steven J. Autey
Hi, I just want to complement you on a superfast delivery. I
received my product yesterday in Australia after only ordering last
Wednesday or Thursday - less than a week to come overseas. I can't
wait to listen to the cds and read the books. Love your work!
-- Daniel Munday
It has taken me a little while to get started on this 90-Days to
Life Change program; I want to completely to change my life story.
The most important phrase for me, the one that caused all the
previous ones from all the speakers to come into focus came from CD
2, even though it is now week four. Denis Waitley said: "You don't
stop a habit, you replace one" and "What you put into your mind
shapes and molds your life." Couple that with "happiness is a
choice" and the power to change has become mine. My mind and habits
belong to me. I can change them. I can control them. This is
powerful! Thank you, I am now in gear and the steering wheel is
within reach. Looking forward to the rest of the learning and
changing. With sincere thanks and blessings for the work you are
doing for so many.
-- Carol Y.
Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI

"It's too bad failures don't give seminars. Wouldn't that be valuable? If you meet a guy who has messed up his life for forty years, you've just got to say, 'John, if I bring my journal and promise to take good notes, would you spend a day with me?'" Jim Rohn
