Jim Rohn - Quotes
Make sure you're winning the war / defend all the good you start!
Just be on the lookout of the things that can destroy all the good you start. The war is on. And this evening, tomorrow, mentally, personally, socially, economically, you got to make sure you're winning the war

Jim Rohn - Quotes
Complaining, crying, whining, griping...
Complaining, crying, whining, griping, a Bible word called murmuring... see that will ace your future, spend five minutes complaining and you have wasted five, and you may have begun what’s known as economic cancer of the bone.
Surely they will soon haul you off into a financial desert and there let you choke on the dust of your own regret

Jim Rohn - Quotes
The guy says - I want to be a great leader. Wonderful. The first thing we do is following to his house. When we get there we walk in and check his library number one. Somebody says well why check his library. The reason is because what a man reads pours massive ingredients into his mental factory and the fabric of his life is built from those ingredients

Jim Rohn - Quotes
What affects us most?
To the pessimist the glass is always half empty. To the optimist the glass is half full. Why would the same measure affect people two different ways. Answer - it all depends on how you look at it. Our lives are mostly affected by the way we think things are, not the way they are. The way we think they are affects us most

Jim Rohn - Quotes
All he needs is one, he's got five
Pessimism - the deadly disease - always looking on the bad side, the problem side, the difficult side, checking all the reasons why it can't be done. Poor pessimist leads an ugly life. He doesn't try to figure out what's right, he tries to figure out what's wrong. He doesn't look for virtue, he looks for faults and when he finds them he's delighted - how ugly?!
This is the poor guy looks through the window, doesn't see the sunset, he sees the specs on the window.
And this poor guy says - "I've got five good reasons why it won't work". He is so dumb he doesn't know all he needs is one he's got five

Better to live 30 years full of adventure than 100 years safe in the corner

Jim Rohn - Quotes
Definition of resolve is "promise yourself you will never give up". I asked the kids - how long should a baby try to learn how to walk? How long would you give your average baby before you shut him off?
Any mother in the world would say - you're crazy, my baby is going to keep trying until it learns how to walk.
What a magic formula!
Jim Rohn - Quotes
I will do it or die
"I'll do it or die". The man says: "I will climb the mountain. They've told me - It's too high, it's too far, it's too rocky, it's too difficult, it's never been done before but it's my mountain I'll climb it. Pretty soon you'll see me waving from the top, or dead on the side because I ain't coming back

Jim Rohn - Quotes
Let down the barriers, take down the walls
Sometimes from the bitterest experience comes the greatest awakening. So let down the barriers. Take down the walls. The same wall that keeps out disappointment keeps out happiness. Let life touch you, don't let it kill you but let it touch you
Jim Rohn
Jim Rohn - Quotes
Welcome every human experience
Desire can be triggered by something. Who knows what it might be. Sometimes desire waits and sleeps for something to happen. Maybe it's a book, maybe it's a song, maybe it's a sermon, maybe it's a lecture, a seminar, maybe it's the conversation of a friend, a happening, an event,.. who knows. Welcome every human experience. You never know which one is going to turn it all on. Even the bad experiences. Sometimes from the bitterest experience comes the greatest awakening
