THE
GREAT CHALLENGE OF LIFE by Jim Rohn
Here's
the great challenge of life - You can have more than you've got because
you can become more than you are.
I have
found that income seldom will exceed your own personal development.
Once
in a while income takes a lucky jump, but unless you grow out to where
it is, it will go back to where you are. Somebody once said if you took
all the money in the world and divided it among everyone equally, it
would
soon be back in the same pockets. However, you can have more
because
you can become more. You see, here is how the other side of the
coin
reads - unless you change how you are, you will always have what you've
got. The marketing plan won't do it. It's a good plan but
it
won't work without you. You've got to work it. It is the
human
effort that counts. If you could send a sales manual out to
recruit
- wouldn't that be lovely? The major thing that makes the
difference
is what YOU do.
In
order to have more, you need to become more. The guy says "If I had a
good
job I would really pour it on, but I have this lousy job so I just goof
off." If that is your philosophy you are destined to stay
there.
Some people say if I had a lot of money I would be really generous, but
I don't have much so I'm not generous. See, you've got to change
that philosophy or you will never have "the lots of money".
Unless
YOU change, IT won't change. Amazingly, however, when we throw
out
our blame list and start becoming more ourselves - the difference is
everything
else will begin to change around us.
To
Your Success,
Jim
