"Be successful. Do the easy things." --Jim Rohn
I have written about Jim Rohn in my previous posts already but I want to contribute this post specifically to honor the man who touched so many lives and continues to do so even in his absence. If he were alive now, he would be turning 86 today.
Jim Rohn was a mentor to many people and he changed the lives of many. Those people's lives that he changed are now Tony Robbins, Darren Hardy, John Maxwell, Les Brown, Harvey Mackay, Brian Tracy, and so many others who have taken Jim Rohn's place and have become the biggest mentors and master-minds of our generation. Thus, many refer to Jim Rohn as "the mentor to the masters". Most importantly, in almost every speech or book, Jim also refers to his own mentor, Earl Shoaff. So in this cycle, what can be concluded is that to be able to be successful, you need a mentor to guide you. Once you are successful, you may and perhaps must become a mentor to help those who are still in the dark about the secrets to a successful and happy life.
One of the concepts I learned from Jim Rohn is "what's easy to do is also easy not to do." In the past few weeks, I have been applying discipline to do "the easy things." I do see the difference of just spending under 30 minutes everyday writing or under 30 minutes reading, I feel like it has led to this desire within me to want to instill other disciplined habits on to my life and already, I feel like I am becoming a different person. According to Jim Rohn, in order to become successful, one must become a different person, and attract success. In my case, I believe that I am already on my way.
In the end, it comes down to taking a course in "Obvious 101", doing the things that seem so obvious that it will lead to a better life but sometimes so hard to grasp.
