“You can have more than you’ve got because you can become more than you are”
The 5 Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle
Jim Rohn
Developing a Personal Philosophy
Our personal philosophy on life is about what and how we respond to challenges. We cannot delete information from our brains. The only to change our minds is to input new information. A life worth living is a life worth documenting.
Compounding Effect
Success and failure are an accumulation of seemingly small and insignificant decisions. Failure is nothing more than making a few errors every day. Success is a few simple disciplines practiced every day. The things that are easy to do are also easy not to do.
Positive Attitude
Our feelings and our positive attitude determine our success. We need to use the past as a learning tool and not a weapon. The present is the opportunity to create a better future. How we feel about ourselves is a matter of choice. We must change for things to change. We all have opportunities mixed with difficulty.
Importance of Action
We need to apply all that we know and all that we feel. We need to implement our thoughts. Rewards in life are distributed according to our proportion of desire not our proportion of need. Everything we have was acquired, as a result of past efforts and thoughts.
Life is not a practice session we need to develop a sense of urgency.
My Take
There are a few fundamental habits that, when established in our lives, can help us reach exponential heights. We must take action daily to achieve our goals.
