The Universe is guiding me to read/listen to Jim Rohn – I received yet another email with a very interesting quotation from him, this morning:

“What we ponder and what we think about sets the course of our
life. Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it
all. Any day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind
to new knowledge. Any day we wish, we can start a new activity. Any
day we wish, we can start the process of life change. We can do it
immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.

“We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if
the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we
can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labour, entertainment
over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The
choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we
continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed,
“The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves.” We created our
circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the
responsibility to make better choices beginning today.

I’m going through a time of re-thinking my business strategy, finding ways of reaching people en masse, not 1-to-1 as then the limits are on my time – today I choose to spend 2 hours planning around that!

“It’s the cut of your sail not the blowing of the wind that determines your success” Jim Rohn

    As always, Mr. Rohn manages to make things so clear. It is so true (and I’m realizing this more and more every day) that what we focus on — mentally and emotionally — becomes our reality. It also initiates every action we take, ourselves, in addition to what we experience around us. It is all intertwined. Once we fully understand that, then we will no longer find it necessary to curse the circumstances (which we ourselves have created), nor will we continue to nourish the cause.

    Hi Steve,

    I recognise your journey in mine :) When I focus on the “right stuff” (for me)… AND let go and trust in the universe, it’s pretty amazing how much better life feels and looks.
    Thanks for the Jim Rohn video on imagination, on YOUR blog…

    cheers
    Tracey
