Jim Rohn - Motivational Speech

To achieve happiness and wealth, focus on personal development rather than solely on your job, as true success is attracted through self-growth. Start by educating yourself through reading, listening, and observing, then take action on your newfound knowledge while avoiding shortcuts. Remember, change is a choice, and by committing to personal growth, you can transform your life and direction.

If you wanna be happy and wealthy for the rest of your life just learn this lesson

well...
Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job. Income doesn't far exceed
personal development. Now sometimes income takes a lucky jump but sure enough
unless you grow out where it is it will usually come back where you are. Life has
strange ways... If somebody hands you a million dollar the best you become a
millionaire quickly! So you get to keep the money otherwise sure enough it will
disappear. Somebody once said "If you took all the money in the world and divide it
up equally among everybody it would soon all be back in the same pockets. Success
is something you attract not something you pursue. So instead of going after it,
you work on your self PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT because true happiness is not contained
in what you get; happiness is contained in what you become.
Now if you're excited and you're ready to change let me give you 3 simple steps to
start life change that can change your life, your personality, your lifestyle
everything can change:

1. Find out how things work?


To change your life you need Ideas. There isn't anything that idea can't change.
The MAJOR problem is lack of an Idea not a PROBLEM. It isn't the lack of money it's
lack of ideas. To get idea you need constant study of finding out. If you wish to
be successful then study success. If you want to be wealthy then study wealth. If
you wish to be happy study happiness. Don't leave it to chance make it study!
You've got to study the things that can change your economy, social, spiritual,
personal life.
When you find out something that works put the information on your journal.
Don't use your head for a filing cabinet. Put it in your journal so that you can do
your next best thing: repetition, repetition, repetition. Go over it!!. And if you
repeat it sure enough someday some mysterious day the idea takes root starts to
grow and shows up in your bank account and your dress and your personality and your
life style. Now if you're curious let me give you three ways to find out how to
change anything, any life direction, any dimension:
1a. Read : Be a good readers. Become self-educated. Standard education will give
you standard results and you can check those numbers and see if that's what you
want, but if you wanna go beyond that you've got to become self educated. One way
to learn is from own experiences, but the other way to learn is from other people's
experiences. One book might save your 5 years, IF YOU READ IT. 100's of successful
people have written their stories in book and they wrote down how they did it and
people don't read it! How would you explain that? You don't have to read half the
night just to 30 mins a day. Don't be a follower be a student.
1b. Listen : Be a good listener. Listen to everyone including poor and
successful people. Find out what poor people read and don't read that one. LEARN
FROM THE NEGATIVE. Also get around successful people, listen to what they say,
listen to how they say. LEARN FROM THE POSITIVE. POOR PEOPLE DON'T USUALLY TAKE
RICH PEOPLE OUT TO DINNER.
1c. Observe : You can pickup a lot of ideas just by watching. Success leaves
clues. Watch how the man shake's hands. Watch how to lady responds. People who do
well do certain things over and over and over. If you're clever you can pick them
up. Watch it all! BE A GOOD OBSERVER. There are two ways to see -
i. Sight: See with your eyes you'll see things.
ii. Insight: See with your mind you'll see answers.
Put your eyes and mind to work. PAY ATTENTION. Don't miss anything. Wherever
you are, be there.

2. Go to work! : Get excited over your abilities to make your self do the necessary
things. What could you make yourself do starting tomorrow that would change it all.
On any given day you can massively change the direction of your life. Here's the
key to discipline: Start with the little discipline, get excited over it, those
will lead to the big ones. If you can't handle the small ones you can't handle the
big ones.
Here's what it takes for the life change: Self motivation. YOU GOT TO MOTIVATE
YOURSELF! and you don't want to give the self motivation away to somebody else and
make it somebody else motivating you... You got to have a better plan for your
life. YOU MUST NOW TAKE ACTION ON WHAT YOU FOUND OUT. Don't let your learning lead
to knowledge you'll become a fool, let your learning lead to action you can become
wealthy. And there are many kinds of wealth, money is one of the least of all
values. I know some people with a lot of money that are very poor.

3. A little caution: DON'T TRY TO BEAT THE SYSTEM. Find out how it works, work it
but don't try to beat it. Some people learn best enough to start slicing it,
shading it, thinning it, cutting corners and looking for cheap answers. Don't fall
for that, you'll wind up with a cheap life. FIND OUT HOW IT WORKS BEST AND DO IT
THAT WAY. Even though it seems to take a little longer do it right, DON'T
COMPROMISE WITH RIGHT.

So if I had a word with you tonight one on one I think my personal advice to you
would be - This year READ DOWN INSIDE OF YOU! and come up with those remarkable
human gifts. They are there waiting to be utilized and then change anything for
you, you want to change. I challenge you to do that because YOU CAN CHANGE! You
don't have to ever have to be the same again after tonight ONLY BY CHOICE. Starting
tomorrow what are you going to do that will make a change in your life's direction?
If you don't do something starting tomorrow that will make a difference guess
what... it's gonna be the same...In that way you can guess what the next five years
are gonna be like, look at the last five. It's choice time, you can do whatever you
want, but its nice to know any day you wish you can change your whole life.
