Yesterday the world lost a great mentor Jim Rohn to Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Although I never met him, Jim has greatly impacted my life over the past few years with his teachings. He challenged me to be my best and inspired me to live my dreams. Jim, you are legendary to me and you will be missed. In honor, here are a few of my favorite quotes from Jim Rohn:
Resolve says, “I will.” The man says, “I will climb this mountain. They told me it is too high, too far, too steep, too rocky and too difficult. But it’s my mountain. I will climb it. You will soon see me waving from the top or dead on the side from trying.”
Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.
If you learn to set a good sail, the wind that blows will always take you to the dreams you want, the income you want, and the treasures of mind, purse, and soul you want.
I used to say, “Things cost too much.” Then my teacher straightened me out on that by saying, “The problem isn’t that things cost too much. The problem is that you can’t afford it.” That’s when I finally understood that the problem wasn’t “it” – the problem was “me.”
If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree. You must get good at one of two things: sowing in the spring or begging in the fall. The soil says, “Don’t bring me your need, bring me your seed.”
Walk away from the 97% crowd. Don’t use their excuses. Take charge of your own life. You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.
Your paycheck is not your employer’s responsibility, it’s your responsibility. Your employer has no control over your value, but you do.
If you wish to find, you must search. Rarely does a good idea interrupt you.
I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change. If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they may have planned for you? Not much.
One of my biggest inspirations is a man named Jim Rohn. His philosophies about business and life have had a profound impact on me. It is almost physically impossible for Jim to open his mouth without having pure gold come out. Anyway today is his 79th birthday. Jim, Happy Birthday. In honor of his birthday, here are a few awesome quotes by him:
