4 POWERFUL LIFE LESSONS FROM JIM ROHN:
Hello Wellness Seekers,
Today’s post is about Powerful Life Lessons I learned from Jim Rohn.
Jim Rohn was an entrepreneur, popular author, motivational speaker, and one of the best American Business and Life Philosophers. I first discovered Jim Rohn from a quotation I saw on a facebook post. It’s the same one in the heading of this post. I found this quotation so powerful that I just had to search him out. He authored many of the powerful quotes reposted again and again on social media. Chances are, you’ve heard, seen or even used a Jim Rohn Quote.
Here are some of my favorites:
I found that he had many audio recordings on YouTube. Listening to these audio recording started my “mentorship” with Jim Rohn.
Learning from him has been a great blessing. My mindset has expanded even more.
Sharing with you 4 important life lessons I learned from JIM ROHN:
Lesson No. 1:
ALWAYS CREATE MORE VALUE FOR YOURSELF
Do you feel like you should have more than what you’ve got?
In terms of income, do you feel like you should be getting more?
In terms of earning money, do you think that you deserve more?
Jim Rohn says, the answer to getting more is not to work longer or harder…because time is not the answer.
But why do others do better than others? Definitely, it isn’t because they have more time. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. Rather, the answer lies WITHIN YOU. It lies in the VALUE you give!!!
How much value do you contribute in your workplace? In your job or profession?
How much value does your business contribute to your community and to others?
What value are we talking about?
Value here means… how much KNOWLEDGE, SKILL, EXPERIENCE you already have.
Do you have the knowledge and skill to deserve the income you want?
Do you have the mindset to keep earning the same or more?
Did you know that income does not far exceed personal development? Sometimes, income makes a lucky jump, but unless you grow to where it is, it will usually come back to where you are.
What the others who do better CREATE is not more time but MORE VALUE for themselves.
VALUE makes all the difference!!!
Because you can’t create more time but you can certainly create more Value. And the value we give or create is what we get paid for. We don’t get paid for time.
Is it possible to become 2x or 3x more valuable? YES, It is!
Work Primarily on yourself. If you work hard for your job or business, work even harder to develop yourself continuously.
LESSON 2:
YOUR INCOME IS GOING TO CHANGE, if YOU CHANGE!
Your life is going to be better, when YOU GET BETTER.
You will always have difficulties and problems in life. There is nothing you can do to prevent them…but what you can do is CHANGE YOURSELF…to be stronger, wiser and better, so you are better able to deal with crises.
There is no point complaining because you can’t do much about the situation, but what you can work on is yourself.
LESSON 3:
LIFE AND BUSINESS ARE JUST LIKE CHANGING SEASONS . CHANGE AND ADAPT QUICKLY TO SURVIVE AND THEN THRIVE.
Life gets better for you not by chance but by CHANGE
TIPS ON HOW TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE by JIM ROHN:
Learn how to handle the WINTERS (and the NIGHTS)
Winter refers to personal, economic and social difficulties and disappointments.
Winter always comes after fall with regularity, so does difficulties after opportunities and recession after progression.
So, we need to use the winters of our lives to make us STRONGER, WISER, AND BETTER.
Don’t wish it will be easier, wish to BE BETTER!
Don’t wish for less problems, wish for MORE SKILLS!
Don’t wish for less challenges, wish for MORE WISDOM!”
Learn to take advantage of SPRING.
Spring refers to OPPORTUNITIES.Spring always follows winter. Opportunities follows difficulties and disappointments.
So, when spring comes, jump on the chance. Do something with the opportunity.
Spring comes once a year. This means, opportunities come but NOT EVERYDAY! And for some people, life is brief and spring will be few. Don’t let them pass you by.
Learn to plant seeds during spring.
Learn to protect your crops in the SUMMER.
Summer refers to the good days. If you have taken advantage of spring and have sowed the seeds, they will have started to sprout. Once your hard work has paid off, and you are starting to see the fruits of your labor, TEND TO YOUR TREES.
All good will be attacked. Every garden will have invaders. Be ready to defend your garden.
Learn to reap in the FALL without complaint.
Take full responsibility for what happens to you. Learn to reap your harvest in the fall without apology for doing well.
It’s not what happens to you that determines the quality or quantity of life but it is what you do that changes everything.
What happens is always the same. It’s what you do about it that should change.
Disappointments are not special gifts for the few. Everyone will get it.
They say, one of the best ways to improve your life in a most effective way is to find a mentor, gain knowledge from his teachings and then TAKE ACTION. After all, Knowledge is only potential power. Act on it and it becomes TRUE POWER.
We don’t necessarily have to find mentors in person.
I consider Jim Rohn to be one of my business “mentors”. Though he passed away in 2009, His legacy has lived on. I consider myself truly lucky have access to him through his books, audios and videos.
