The Secret of Success from 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.
In order to succeed, then, we need to do the opposite of neglect. What’s that? The thesaurus indicates that the opposite, or antonym, of neglect is to look after or to care for. In other words, we need to look after the things that we have neglected.
Jim Rohn succeeded at an early age, 31. While most of his friends struggled, Jim Rohn became a millionaire. He says that he took care of what others neglected. He further says that it was early for him to do.
Jim Rohn listened to successful people. His friends neglected to do this.
Jim Rohn set goals. His friends neglected to put any goals down.
Jim took care of his mind and attitude by reading good books.
There are enough opportunities, money, education, and jobs for everyone. There’s no shortage. Don’t blame you lack of success of some external factor. You know the old saying, “The buck stops here.” If you’re not achieving the kind of success that you want in your like, take ownership of it.
So why do we fail? Why do we live mediocre lives? Because 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.
Unfortunately, neglect brings us down. Just like a neglected house, the problems go beyond just the cosmetic.
Neglect affects our spirit. We lose faith in ourselves. Our self-esteem plummets. Our attitudes become decidedly negative. People around us are affected as well. We often let these people down. We lose confidence in our abilities. In our ability to succeed.
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.
