Before we dive into Jim Rohn's timeless wisdom, let me ask you this. Are you still procrastinating on your potential? Are your goals stuck in your head while life keeps moving without you? If you're tired of that loop, then you need the self-discipline Master Playbook. It's not another hype guide, it's a tested system we put together to help you control your time, energy, and focus. Like the top 1%, thousands already use it to stay locked in daily, and we want you to win
too. Tap the link in the description, grab your copy. And now let's hear from the legend himself, Jim Rohn. It's how you. Feel about yourself understanding self worth. That is the. Real challenge. Once you begin to understand your own self worth, I'm telling you. Your life will. Begin to soar. You can walk out of the. Darkness into the light. You can walk. Out of heartbreak, into confidence, understanding your own self worth, here's a good phrase to take home.
Each of us must understand how valuable all of us are. But here's the second part. All of us must. Understand how valuable. Each of us are. Is your contribution valuable to the whole? I'm telling you, without you, the whole is incomplete. I'm telling you it takes each of us to make all of us, each of us with a contribution. Think how. Powerful we can be. If each of us make a better
contribution. In fact, John. Kennedy said it best. Surely it's the cry of the New Democratic Party, John. Kennedy's ancient words. And he said. What ask for? Everything and see what you wind. Up with. No. No, no. John Kennedy said what? Ask not what your country. Can do for you, but ask what? What? You can do for your country. I'm asking you. To consider yourself. Valuable enough to make an important contribution to. All of us you. Make an important contribution to. All of us.
And then in return you get to draw from all of us and the gifts. That we bring to each of us. That is the. Power. And if you walk away from here today with that? New refined attitude, I'm telling you. You can have whatever you want. You can have the health you want. You can. Have the income. You want, you can have the future you want. Your relationship with your family will start to improve. Immediately. All you got to do is take it serious and do not neglect like
an apple a day. Do not neglect like a new book of your new library. Do not. Neglect an entry in your journal. Do not. Neglect. Don't get lazy. And learning. Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health learning. Is the beginning of ecstasy and joy and pleasure and lifestyle and all the treasures that are available for the human family. I'm asking you start a whole new process today.
You'll be happy that you did. Your life will change dramatically and then what I want back just as a. Favour from you to me. Let me know about it. I like to get the letters. You cannot believe the letters I've got in my files from teenagers and business. Business executives now all over the world. Some of them have to be translated from other languages. Where I go do seminars like this today. I want that to be part of your. Story and your. Experience. That's why I came by to make
this kind of investment. I. Don't need to work this hard except for that. I could be riding my motorcycle on the Jeep. Trails today, right? I don't. Need to. Work this. Hard, but I do need the. Experience because I want the return. I want this to affect your bank account today. I'm asking you not just to take notes. If you'll go home and work on this stuff, I'm telling you it'll change your life and your
future, and that's why I'm here. I want it to happen for you like it happened for me. All right, let's just finish up number. Two on attitude. What shapes our attitude? Let's cover those notes. What shapes our attitude? You can have more than you've got because you can become more than you are. And of course, the other side of the coin reads, unless you change how you are, you'll always have what you got. Success is something you attract, not something you
pursue. Success is looking for a good place to stay, so instead of going after it, you work on yourself. Personal development. See, the major question to ask on the job is not what are you getting. The major question to ask on the job is what are you becoming? The big question is not what am I getting paid here? The big question is what am I becoming here? Because true happiness is not contained in what you get. Happiness is contained in what
you become. Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job. For things to change for you, you've got to change. Otherwise it isn't going to change. The only way it gets better for you is when you get better. Life and business is like the changing seasons. One of the best ways to describe life, it's like the seasons. You can't change the seasons, but you can change yourself and see that's how life gets better for you, not. By.
Chance, but by change. Learn how to handle the winters. They come right after falls with regularity. Some are long and some are short and some are hard and some are easy, but they keep coming. You must learn to handle the nights. They come right after days. You must learn to handle difficulty. It comes right after opportunity. You must learn to handle recessions. They always follow progressions for the last 6000.
See, it isn't going to change. The lesson you must learn is how to handle it. And there's all kinds of winters, right? The winter when you can't figure it out. The winter when it. All goes Smash. The winter when it turns belly up. The winter when it won't work, when you've run out of money and you've got a broken heart. See, those are winter times. There's all kinds. Economic winters, Social winters, Personal winters. When your heart is smashed in 1000 pieces.
And the nights are. Unusually long, your prayers seem to go no higher than your head. It's winter time. But see the disappointments come? Those are normal. That's part of life. But the question is, how do you handle it? How do you handle the coming winters and the disappointments and the down times? Well, you can't get rid of January by tearing it off the calendar. But here's what you can do. You can get stronger, you can get wiser, and you can get
better. The winters won't change, but you can. And that's how life changes for you. Don't wish it was easier, Wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems. Wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom. That's the key. Learn how to take advantage of the spring. Spring is called opportunity and spring follows winter. What a great place for it. If you were going to put it somewhere, that'd be the place to put it right after winter.
And pray tell, how often does spring follow winter? Every year with regularity. 6000, you can almost count on it. See, opportunity always comes days, follow nights. Isn't that terrific? Opportunity follows difficulty. But here's what you must learn to do Take advantage. You must learn to take advantage of the spring. See, just because spring rolls around, there's no sign you're going to look good come fall.
You got to do something with it. In fact, you have to get good at one of two things in life, planting in the spring or begging in the fall, or get somebody to do it for you. See, those are about the only alternatives. Now here's what else you must do. Take advantage of the springs quickly, because there's only a few. Just a handful of springs have been handed to each of us. They don't come forever.
Life is fairly brief, so you got to read every book you can get your hands on and what to do with your springs while they're here and take advantage. They soon run out. So whatever you're going to do with your life, you got to get at it. Don't just let the springs pass, pass, pass. Learn how to. Protect your crops all summer. You got to take care of what you start. Sure enough, as soon as you've. Planted your garden? In the spring, the busy bugs and the noxious weeds are out to take it.
And here's the next bit of truth. They will take it unless you prevent it. And that's the third major skill to learn. You've got to learn to prevent the intruder from taking all the good you start. It's one of the challenges. All goodwill be attacked on this planet. Maybe not the next one we get to, but on this one all goodwill be attacked. Every garden will be invaded. Not to think so is naive. All values must be defended.
Political values, social values, community values, family values, marriage values, friendship values, business values. Every garden must be tended all summer. Learn how to reap in the fall without complaint. Learn to reap come harvest time without complaint. Take full responsibility for what happens to you. It's one of the highest forms of human maturity. Accepting full responsibility. It's the day you know you've passed from childhood to adulthood.
The day you accept full responsibility, learn to reap in the fall, without apology, without apology if you do well, and without complaint if you don't. That's maturity. It's not what happens, it's what you do. What happens is about the same. You might put that in Princess here. Same what people do. That's what's different. Anything can happen, right? Everything can happen. I've heard all the stories. I've been one of the stories. Hey, we could all tell stories all night long, right?
Happenings. Anything can happen. Everything can happen. Anything can happen. But it's not the happenings. It's what you do about it. Somebody says yeah, but you don't understand the disappointments I've had. Come on. Everybody's had their share. Disappointments are not special gifts reserved for the poor. Everybody has them. The difference is what you do about it. Starting tomorrow, what are you going to do that'll make a change in your life's direction? Good question.
What are you going to do starting tomorrow that'll make a difference? Now see, if you don't do something starting tomorrow that'll make a difference. Guess what, it's going to be the same and see that way you can guess what the next five years are going to be like. Look at the last five because the next 5 are going to be like the last five unless you major key. Tomorrow. Change it all, or change a little, or change something or don't change it's choice time.
You can do whatever you. Want but. It's nice to know any day you wish you can change your. Whole life what? Can you do starting tomorrow, that'll make a difference and reach down inside of you and come up with some more of those remarkable human gifts. They're there waiting to be utilized. And then change anything for you. You want to change. And I challenge you to do that
because you can change. If you don't like how it is for you, change it. If it doesn't suit you, change it. If it doesn't please you, change it. If it isn't enough, change it. And I challenge you to do that because you can change. See, you don't ever have to be the same again after tonight, only by choice.
