Vitamins for the Mind ~ By Jim Rohn

Asking/Belief/Resolve

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.
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.
Resolve says, “I will.” The man says, “I will climb this mountain. They told me it is too high, too far, too steep, too rocky and too difficult. But it’s my mountain. I will climb it. You will soon see me waving from the top or dead on the side from trying.”
Disgust and resolve are two of the great emotions that lead to change.
"Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of more than 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim's personal journals, seminars and books and spanning more than 40 years.

Take time to gather up the past so that you will be able to draw from your experiences and invest them in the future. ~ Jim Rohn

TRUE SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOUR ENJOYMENT

TRUE SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOUR ENJOYMENT


You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you're doing.

What you do is more important than how much money you make. How you feel about what you do is more important than what you do.

The more you love what you're doing, the more successful it will be for you. Don't set compensation as your goal.

Find the work you like and the compensation will follow.

You don't pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success.



And one of my favorites:

Success is not something you pursue. What you pursue eludes you. Success is something you attract by the person you become. If you want to have more, you must become more. ~ Jim Rohn
