good life Sleep Start from scratch. Start from obscurity. Start with pennies, start with nothing and have a chance to transform your life, change your life, set your goals and see what you can accomplish. Make sure what you do is the product of your own conclusion. Not to do what someone else says. Take what someone else says. Process it, think about it, ponder it. If it makes you wonder, it makes you think, then it's valuable. Then when you go, take action. Make sure that the action is not what somebody told you to do. Make sure the action is the product of your own conclusion. If you'll follow just a little bit of those simple guidelines telling you the learning process can be speedy, swift, powerful. Your learning curve can go up. And then applying it to your business, your life, your family, conversations, equities of all kinds, you'll find some progress. Like I did that first five years when I met a teacher willing to share with me, turn my life around. Progress I couldn't believe happened for me. I used to blame the traffic, the weather, used to blame circumstances, right? People say I'm too too tall, I'm too short, I'm too old. I was raised in obscurity, raised on a farm, parents of modest means. All the stuff. If you were to ask me how come you find yourself here? Mr. Rohn, age 25, living in America, land of abundance and opportunity, pennies zero in the bank not doing well, creditors calling. It would not have occurred to me to blame my philosophy. I found it easier to blame the company. Company policy. I used to say, if this is all they pay, how do they expect you to do well? So I figured that, you know, my future was going to be tied to what everybody else was arranging the economy and right interest rates. I used to say things cost too much. That was my whole explanation, not my philosophy. Until my teacher taught me better that this is where the problem was. My own personal philosophy. Here's what's exciting about each person's personal philosophy. That's what makes us different than dogs and animals and birds and cats and spiders and alligators. That's what makes us different than all other life forms. The ability to think. The ability to use your mind. The ability to process ideas and not just operate by instinct. In the winter, I'm telling you, the goose can only fly south. What if south doesn't look too good? Tough luck. It can only fly south. But see, human beings are not like a goose can only fly south. I mean, you can turn around, go north, you can go east, you can go west. You can order the entire process of your own life. So hopefully you'll find some inspiration here today to get the most out of today. Couple more notes. Number one, be thankful. Be thankful for what you already have. That shouldn't be any problem in America. Being thankful. Everything we need is available in America. Everybody wants to come here, right? The last time I was here, that little presentation I gave. Everybody wants to come here. America. Why? Everything's available here. All the books you need, all the sermons you need. All the churches you need. All the schools you need. All the instruction you need. All the inspiration you need. All the capital you need. All the markets you need. All the challenge you need. All the information you need. All the seminars you need. Everything's available here. This is America. So number one, let's be thankful for what we already have. Number two is attitude. We're affected by how we feel. First, we're affected by what we know and the decisions we and the decisions we make. Second, we're affected by attitude. How you feel about the past. Got to have a good attitude about the past. Use it as a school, not a club. Don't beat yourself to death with your past. False failures, losses. Let the past be a school master to teach you. Not to threaten you, but to teach you next. It's how you feel about the future that your goals. Goal setting, promise of the future is an awesome fourth to affect your life every day. Without a future well designed. We take hesitant step. Not you have to have hesitant steps for six Years you'll be timid, driven into a corner, not boldly willing to go and take your portion, take your share. Next, it's how you feel about everybody else. Gotta have a good attitude about everybody else because it takes everybody else to make a market. One person doesn't make a family. One person doesn't make a business. One person doesn't make a corporation. One person doesn't make a community. One person doesn't make a nation. It takes all of us to make a dynamic economy a nation second to none. Here was number three, activity. This is the work part, the labor part, taking action. And the activity is the miracle working piece. A miracle being something we don't quite understand how it works doesn't mean it doesn't work. It means we just don't quite understand how it works. Miracles work. God says, now I'm an amateur on God, but here's my best analysis. God said, if you'll plant the seed, I'll make the tree. Now that's a good arrangement. What if you had to make the tree? That keep you up late night trying to figure out how do you make a tree? Say, no, I'm telling you, the mystery and the miracle of this stuff has already been set up. God says, I got the miracle going. I got the seasons going. I got some sunshine and some rain and I'm God. But the way I've arranged that, I just need somebody to plant the seed. Wisdom doesn't perform a miracle. Attitude doesn't perform a miracle. The only thing that performs a miracle of increase, called equity is called putting wisdom and attitude into discipline, into labor. This labor now can perform a mirror. If you'll pick up the activity part, the miracle working part, plant the seed part, take care of your part. The soil will take care of its part. The seed will take care of its part. The seasons will take care of their part. The miracle will take care of its part. If you'll take care of your part. Called putting it into activity. Action works miracles. Here was number four, results. Every once in a while you got to take a measure. See how you're doing with these three pieces. Philosophy, attitude, activity. Now we take a measure called results. What is the results at the end of the day, the results at the end of the week? You can't let too much time go by without checking. You don't need to unmess the country. You don't need to straighten out the perplexed. You don't need to straighten out any of this stuff. All you've got to do is look within and let results teach you a great deal about your own activity, your own attitude, and your own philosophy. Here's all life asks us to do. Make measurable progress in reasonable time. We demanded of our children. How many years do you want your child to spend in fourth grade? Approximately about 1. If it looks like they're not going to make it, we pour on the pressure called legitimate pressure, lack of result, peer pressure, family pressure, school pressure, community pressure, every other kind of pressure we can bring to bear. What? You can't stay more than one year in fourth grade. As parents, you'd have to leave the community. You say, well, what if they're nice kids? Wouldn't you give them three or four years? The answer is no. You got to make better progress than that. So you got to check fairly often. Some things you got to check every day. Some things you got to check at least by the end of the week. Number five is called lifestyle.

Lifestyle is simply learning how to live well. Here's the ultimate challenge of life. I've worked on this. You cannot believe how hard since age 25. And that is after applying better philosophy and activity and picking now up results. What are results for? Here's my ultimate challenge on results. To fashion. Fashion for yourself. Lifestyle or what we call the good life. That's the ultimate challenge to take your results, take your money, take your results, take the return, take the equities you've gathered, and now fashion for yourself. A good life. Like weaving a tapestry. If you're serious about becoming wealthy and powerful and sophisticated and healthy, influential, cultured, unique, keep a journal. Don't trust your memory. If you listen to something valuable, write it down. You come across something important. Write it down. Write it down. Now, I used to take notes on pieces of paper and torn off corners and backs of old envelopes and restaurant placemats and long sheets and narrow sheets and little sheets and pieces thrown in a drawer. Found out best way Keep a journal. I've been keeping these journals now since age 25. It makes up a valuable part of my own learning and it's a valuable part of my library. My own journals now form a good portion of my own library. Money doesn't make you sophisticated. Only study and practice makes you sophisticated. Only study and practice makes you culture. And only study and practice makes you happy. Study and practice makes you rich. Now, money's not the only place to start. Money certainly isn't the only value. But we've all got to start somewhere. And money, something you can count, right? Kids are interested in money. A lot of things are a little tougher to measure. But economics is pretty easy, right? Because you can count. Okay, somebody says, how are you doing? I don't know. Let's count. Now, this is not the only count. I understand that there's a lot of other things to count. But to see if there may be some errors in your judgment and lack of disciplines in your life, we might as well start with money, because it's so easy to count. So let's just start there and see whether or not maybe we have messed up since we Cannot change the circumstances, but we can change ourselves. We can change what we do. What you have at the moment you've attracted by the person you've become. Few little simple principles here. Once you understand these, it starts to explain so much. Now, sometimes it's a little tough to take blaming yourself instead of the marketplace, taking responsibility instead of putting it off on someone else. Those that transition sometimes is a challenging mission. Important part of personal development. Reaping the harvest without complaint. Take full responsibility. Once you've learned this scenario. It's not the seed, it's not the soil. It's not the sunshine, it's not the rain. It's not the miracle of the giving of life. It's not the seasons that's to be criticized. We must take personal responsibility. So in the harvest, take personal responsibility. It's your crop. Whatever you've reaped, it's your crop. Take responsibility. No complaint. And here's the next one. No apology. The best of human maturity is no apology if you've done well and no complaint if you haven't. Knowing that that's where the answers lie. Within and then without. In the miracle of the possibilities that we have to work. Happiness is not something off in the future. Happiness is something you design. You got to get the word. Happiness is something you design. Happiness is a study. Happiness is a practice. Happiness is an art. It's not an accident, it's an art. And anybody that wants to can study, practice the art. Happy living. Happiness is like culture. Money doesn't make you cultured, but culture is within the grasp of all of us. How much is a book on sophistication in the marketplace? $4,000. No, $40. I'm telling you, in America, everything's available, everything's within reach. All you have to be is committed to it and make it a study. Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job. If you work hard on your job, you'll make a living. If you work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune. Work on yourself. Make yourself more valuable to the marketplace. I'm telling you, you can so dynamically change your income. And economics is the least of the values that you can start earning in terms of equity. If you'll start working harder on yourself than you do on your job. Work hard on yourself and develop the skill. Work hard on yourself and develop the graces, all of the stuff necessary to become more valuable to the marketplace. I'm telling you, your whole life can explode into change. Promotions, no problem becoming more valuable to the company. I'M telling you, no problem. Money, no problem. Economics, no problem. Future, no problem. You just go to work on the right thing, not get things out there to change. Don't try to change the seed. Don't change the soil. Don't change the sunshine. Don't change the rain. Don't change the mix of seasons. Let the miracle of everything that's available work for you and start working on the inside. Work on your philosophy. Work on your attitude. Work on your personality. Work on your language. Work on the gift of communication. Work on all of your abilities. And if you'll start making those personal changes, I'm telling you, everything will change for you. Anybody can get better. Develop the skill. Okay. Handle the upcoming winters. Don't wish away the winters. That's called naive. Wish for the skills. Wish for the strength. Wish for the wisdom. Do not neglect to take care of yourself. Good phraseology used in the Bible in my amateur way. But let me put it to you best I can. Here's what it says. Treat your body like a temple. That's a good phrase. Good suggestion. A temple meaning something you take extremely good care of. Temple. That's a good phrase. Treat your body like a temple. Not a woodshed. A temple. A temple. Take good care. The only place you've got to live Currently, I do believe humans are a special creation. That's just my personal belief and I don't ask you to buy it. But here's what I do ask you to buy. If you do believe in spirituality in any manner, here's my best advice. Study it and practice it. Do not neglect your values. Do not neglect your virtues. If you do believe in spirituality, my advice is study it and practice it. Don't let it go unstudied. Don't let it go unnourished. If you do believe, that's my best advice. On the spiritual side, if you'll commit yourself to some of this simple stuff called personal development, start with a walk around the block. Start with the refinement of your philosophy. Start with the teaching of your own fabulous mind. Where all the answers are. I can only give you a few answers from my own experience. The rest of all the magical answers are within the confines of your own mind. But it takes the books, takes the cassettes, takes the videos, personal conversation, sermons, lyrics from songs, dialogue from the movie. Let your heart be stirred by words. Find ways to capture part of your personal development. Quit. I cashed out my entire 401k thinking someone stole my identity. A fake email cost me my dream home.
