Jim Rohn's greatest hits!
1. “Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a difference between a ‘must’ and a ‘want.’”
2. “The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, ‘I wish someone would come by and turn me on.’ What if they don’t show up? You’ve got to have a better plan for your life.”
3. “When you know what you want, and you want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.”
4. “Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot.”
5. “Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.”
6. “Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.”5
7. “Disgust and resolve are two of the great emotions that lead to change.”
8. “Happiness is not an accident. Nor is it something you wish for. Happiness is something you design.”
9. “What you become directly influences what you get.”
10. “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.”
11. “Only human beings can reorder their lives any day they choose by refining their philosophy.”
12. “It is not what happens that determines the major part of your future. What happens, happens to us all. It is what you do about what happens that counts.
To your success

I Saw Jim Rohn once; it was not only the most motivated I got at one time, it was more valuable than anything else I could have been doing and I was beginning a new job at the time...
WOW! Sadly, I never even heard of him, Mickey untiI I came to this platform. How long ago did you see him?
The last time I heard him, live, was 2003.
I have since listened to many tapes (Audio) he has put out.
John - Number 6 is the money quote for me. Ignore all the small petty things (because there are a bunch in life) and keep moving in a positive direction. Thanks for sharing.
Jim Rohn! I used to read and listen to his personal development material, thanks for sharing the post! I am going to dig into his material once again. Israel.
Great reminders for all of us.
Beautiful closing image.
Thank you for this uplifting message.
