The Secret of Success from Jim Rohn

According to Jim Rohn, a leading personal development expert, most people don’t succeed because of 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 to much. Perhaps looking to Jim Rohn’s wisdom will help us understand.

Not many folks, percentage-wise, in the world can claim to be millionaires. Jim Rohn was a millionaire at the young age of 31. While other neglected to work at the things that would make them successful, Rohn took care of those things.

While his friends neglected to listen to successful people, Jim Rohn looked after this asked of his life.

Jim took care of setting 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.

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.

Start something now. Neglect no more. You have the chance to do something great with your life.
