The Secret of Success – Jim Rohn
Jim Rohn, one of the country’s leading experts on success and personal development, stated that the one reason why people don’t succeed is NEGLECT.
Does that mean that the secret of success then is the opposite of neglect? The thesaurus states the antonym of neglect is to care for or to look after. But this does clear things up too much. Perhaps looking to Jim Rohn’s wisdom will help us understand.
Jim Rohn was a millionaire by the age of 31. He attributes his success to his ability to look after or care for the success characteristics others neglected.
While his friends neglected to listen to successful people, Jim Rohn looked after this asked of his life.
While his friends neglected to set goals, Jim Rohn carefully cultivated his goals.
While his friends neglected to read books to improve their thinking, Jim Rohn took care of his mind and his positive thinking by filling his mind with the motivational words of the book he carefully chose.
Rohn points out opportunities exist all around us. There’s plenty of money in the world. There are plenty of changes at education. There are plenty of jobs out there. There are an infinite number of different types of careers to try.
Why don’t we succeed? We neglect.
We neglect to try new things. We neglect to seek mentors. We neglect to ignore the naysayers. We neglect to work. We neglect to set goals. We neglect to keep a positive attitude in the face of adversity.
The problem with neglect is that it affects us, well, negatively. We suffer. Not usually in a physical way, but maybe, if you neglect to exercise and eat right.
Neglect actually affects us on a spiritual and mental level. We lose confidence in ourselves. Our attitudes turn negative. We let down the people we love most. We doubt we can succeed. We doubt our talents. We lose ourselves.
The way to counter neglect is to take care of your dreams by acting on them. Doing something that moves you in the direction of dreams. Do not neglect the things that will move you toward your goals.
When you do something, anything, you will rid yourself of neglect.
