Below are some of the most inspiration quotes from Jim Rohn, One of the best worldwide personal development speakers:
A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.
Jim Rohn
A novel is never anything, but a philosophy put into images.
Jim Rohn
Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.
Jim Rohn
Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you.
Jim Rohn
Better understated than overstated. Let people be surprised that it was more than you promised and easier than you said.
Jim Rohn
Character isn’t something you were born with and can’t change, like your fingerprints. It’s something you weren’t born with and must take responsibility for forming.

In my opinion, we are a society that seems to have a preoccupation with the past or have a tendency to live in the future. So often people feel that certain events or circumstances must take place in order for them to have, feel or experience what they want. Such belief’s keep them living in the future – waiting for that something to come and make them happy. They are stuck.
Do these statements seem familiar to you? Have you said or heard them; “As soon as I finish college, I will …, When my children start school and I have more time, I will…., If only I was married, I could …., When my business gets off the ground, I will …, When my divorce is final, I will …., When I get a new job, I will…and my favorite, When I have enough money, I will….
These statements are the what if’s and “when’s”. These are ideas about being happy when. But what about being happy NOW? We are giving up our today for the dreams of tomorrow. Do you believe that you have to wait to be happy? Or that you have you earn your happiness? Or that events or circumstances have to occur before you can be happy and feel free? I say, “Live It Now”, “Feel It Now”, “Experience It Now”, don’t wait for tomorrow.
I believe that all you need to be happy is to decide that you want to be happy. Appreciate what you have now. If you are always waiting for tomorrow, today will never come. Not that we don’t want to dream and create tomorrows, but don’t sacrifice our todays. Life is too short to be wasting it on waiting for the what if’s to come.
Are you stuck or do you realize that you must resonate with what you desire so that you can connect with what you desire? Do you know that if you think about, talk about, and dream about what you desire, you can create your own reality? You must think about what you want – NOT what you don’t want. Whatever your put your attentions on is what you will create.
If you want happiness, you must experience happiness now. Enjoy living for today. Appreciate all the little pleasures in your everyday life, for there are many. Laugh to your hearts content because laughter can heal many wounds. Relish in your accomplishments. Learn from your mistakes. And then learn to dream to create your tomorrows.
If you believe that an event or circumstance outside yourself is a prerequisite for your happiness, then you lose your own empowerment. If you are relying on outside forces to come your way and make you happy, you lose your own empowerment. Take control of your life and know that your happiness is always created within your thoughts and mind. Your thoughts can always be changed from negative to positive. If you don’t believe it – try it. You’ll be amazed in how you life can be changed in 30 days of deliberate positive thoughts.
Our future is not a destination – but a journey. The unfolding of today and the now is what is. Experience every day to the fullest and live life now the way you want to be. Embrace who you are becoming and set your attentions and intentions on what you desire.
So I ask you “What exactly are you waiting for to have all your dreams come true”? LIVE AND EXPERIENCE TODAY.

Below is a very inspirational piece by Jim Rohn, one of the most successful speakers in America.
Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply, failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day.
Now why would someone make an error in judgment and then be so foolish as to repeat it every day? The answer is because he or she does not think that it matters.
On their own, our daily acts do not seem that important. A minor oversight, a poor decision, or a wasted hour generally doesn’t result in an instant and measurable impact. More often than not, we escape from any immediate consequences of our deeds.
If we have not bothered to read a single book in the past ninety days, this lack of discipline does not seem to have any immediate impact on our lives. And since nothing drastic happened to us after the first ninety days, we repeat this error in judgment for another ninety days, and on and on it goes. Why? Because it doesn’t seem to matter. And herein lies the great danger. Far worse than not reading the books is not even realizing that it matters!
Now here is the great news. Just like the formula for failure, the formula for success is easy to follow: It’s a few simple disciplines practiced every day.
Now here is an interesting question worth pondering: How can we change the errors in the formula for failure into the disciplines required in the formula for success? The answer is by making the future an important part of our current philosophy.
Both success and failure involve future consequences, namely the inevitable rewards or unavoidable regrets resulting from past activities. If this is true, why don’t more people take time to ponder the future? The answer is simple: They are so caught up in the current moment that it doesn’t seem to matter. The problems and the rewards of today are so absorbing to some human beings that they never pause long enough to think about tomorrow.
But what if we did develop a new discipline to take just a few minutes every day to look a little further down the road? We would then be able to foresee the impending consequences of our current conduct. Armed with that valuable information, we would be able to take the necessary action to change our errors into new success-oriented disciplines. In other words, by disciplining ourselves to see the future in advance, we would be able to change our thinking, amend our errors and develop new habits to replace the old.
One of the exciting things about the formula for success—a few simple disciplines practiced every day—is the results are almost immediate. As we voluntarily change daily errors into daily disciplines, we experience positive results in a very short period of time. When we change our diet, our health improves noticeably in just a few weeks. When we start exercising, we feel a new vitality almost immediately. When we begin reading, we experience a growing awareness and a new level of self-confidence. Whatever new discipline we begin to practice daily will produce exciting results that will drive us to become even better at developing new disciplines.
The real magic of new disciplines is that they will cause us to amend our thinking. If we were to start today to read the books, keep a journal, attend the classes, listen more and observe more, then today would be the first day of a new life leading to a better future.
