Jim Rohn

There is no better opportunity to receive more than to be thankful for what you already have. Thanksgiving opens the windows of opportunity for ideas to flow your way.

Average people look forward to "getting off." Successful people look forward to "getting on."

For things to change you've got to change. Otherwise, nothing much will change.

If you talk to your children, you can help them keep their lives together. If you talk to them skillfully, you can help them to build future dreams.

Enterprise is first creativity. You need creativity to see what's out there and shape it to your advantage. You need creativity to look at the world a little differently. You need creativity to take a different approach, to be different.

You can't hire someone else to do your push-ups for you.

Don't set your goals too low. If you don't need much, you won't become much.

A rose on time is more valuable than a $1,000 gift that's too late.

My suggestion would be to walk away from the 90% who don't and join the 10% who do.

Opportunity shies away from need, but opportunity is attracted by talent and ability. What you don't want to happen is opportunity to turn cool on you. You don't want to offend opportunity. So the only thing you present to opportunity is ability, performance and skill. Don't present need to opportunity.

Always leave people with a solution; the heaven if you do versus the hell if you don't. If you're really skillful you can put the person into the future solution. Shoaff used to say, 'Jim, I can see you now in your new clothes, in your new home, in your new car. I can see others walking up to you.' The Promise of the Future is an Awesome Force!

It's easy to let life deteriorate into making a living instead of making a life. It's not the hours you put in, but what you out into the hours that count. Learn to express rather than impress. Expressing evokes a me too attitude while impressing evokes a so what attitude.

The only constant factor in life is our feelings and attitudes toward life. One of the few things that we have total control over is our own attitude.

Don't say, "If I could, I would." Say, "If I can, I will."

We can no longer afford to spend major time on minor things than spend minor time on major things.

Get around people who have something of value to share with you. Their impact will continue to have a significant effect on your life long after they have departed.

Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things.

Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to doDon't wish it were easier, wish you were better.

What you become is far more important that what you get. What you get will be influenced by what you become.

Nourish the mind like you would your body. The mind cannot survive on junk food.

You don't have to change that much for it to make a great deal of difference. A few simple disciplines can have a major impact on how your life works out in the next 90 days, let alone in the next 12 months or the next 3 years.
