1. How Do You Attract Opportunity Into Your Life? by Jim Rohn
Someone recently asked me the question: "How can I have more opportunities come into my life?" Good question, but I think my answer surprised them a bit. I bypassed the obvious (and necessary) points about hard work, persistence and preparation. They actually were very hard workers. And they had the great attribute of being seekers, they were on the outlook. But I felt maybe they were missing this next and most valuable point - attraction.
I always thought opportunities and success were something you went after, then I found out that I needed to turn it around. Opportunities and success are not something you go after necessarily, but something you attract - by becoming an attractive person.
That's why I teach development of skills. If you can develop your skills, keep refining all the parts of your character and yourself, your health, your relationships, etc. so that you become an attractive person to the marketplace - you'll attract opportunity. Opportunity will probably seek you out. Your reputation will probably precede you and someone will want to do business with you. All of the possibilities are there by working on the philosophy that success is something you attract.
The key is to continue making yourself a more attractive person by the skills you have, the disciplines you have, the personality you've acquired, the character and reputation you have established, the language and speech you use - all of that refinement makes you more attractive to the marketplace.
Personal development - the never-ending chance to improve not only yourself, but also to attract opportunities and affect others.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Activity/Labor
You must learn to translate wisdom and strong feelings into labor.
The miracle of the seed and the soil is not available by affirmation; it is only available by labor.
Make rest a necessity, not an objective. Only rest long enough to gather strength.
Without constant activity, the threats of life will soon overwhelm the values.
The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.
For every promise, there is a price to pay.
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 Challenge to Lead By Chris Widener
The topic of leadership has been and continues to be one of the most vital topics in human history. From ancient civilizations to modern day multi-national corporations, men and women of passion, fervor and zeal have sought to discover the secrets of moving others beyond the gray of their mundane reality to the rich array of colors that embody the palate of the extraordinary life.
Every organization or collection of people, from large to small, requires ardent and skilled leaders. It has been said that everything rises and falls on leadership, and it is true. Every group - families, cities, churches, associations and yes, even nations - fulfills its purposes and potential based on the leadership it is shown.
As leaders we are given the charge, responsibility, and the privilege to see grand visions, to dream lofty dreams, to forge new ground, and to challenge and encourage those who would follow our leadership to ascend the heights with us. We beckon them to come. We implore them. All for their own good. This is to lead them toward their possibilities.
Be assured that there will be a leader of every group. There will be those who influence others, even if you don´t. There may even be unscrupulous people who use their abilities to lead others astray. The quote "All it takes for evil to prevail is for the good man to do nothing," remains true today, as it has through the annals of time. This is the compelling motive for you to rise up and lead the way for others.
Our families depend on it.
Our community groups depend on it.
Our nations depend on it.
People will follow you for two reasons: They follow you because of your character, for who you are. They also follow you for your skills, for what you can do. Make it your every effort to impart skillful and honorable leadership for them that would look to you for your wisdom, your guidance and your belief in the promise of the human spirit. Someone will lead. Will it be you? If not you, then who will lead? If you will not lead now, then when?
Today, more than ever, you are needed. Your strong character is needed. Your finely honed skills are needed. I know you will rise to the challenge.
Lead boldly. Lead with faith. Lead others to the pinnacle of the human existence. This is the highest calling and the reward is of the utmost kind.
You are Made for Success!

you get paid for as an investment in your future." Jim Rohn
4. Can you really get anything you want out of life? Anything?
YES, it is possible for you to get anything you want out of life. Anything. But there's just one problem. Usually...
Someone else has it, and you have to convince them to give it to you!
Here are some examples of what I'm talking about:
- If you want to go to college... you have to convince the college admissions officer to let you in by showing that you're a good student.
- If you want to get a date or someone to love you... you have to convince that girl (or guy) of your dreams that you can be trusted, and you're worthy of their love and attention.
- If you want a raise or a better job... you have to convince your employer to give you one.
- If you want to run a business and create wealth... you need to find customers who are willing to buy your products and services.
And if you want the deeper and more meaningful things in life... like the trust, respect, praise and admiration of the people around you... loyal friends... security... prestige... popularity... children who adore you... overall success... you know, things you can't buy with money... the fact remains...
