| Yes, Success is Everything
byJim RohnSomeone once said to me that success isn't everything and I think I know what they really meant. I believe they really meant that money isn't everything, and I certainly agree with that. But I do believe that success IS everything. First, you need to succeed to survive. We must take the seasons and learn how to use them with the seed, the soil and the rain of opportunity to learn how to sustain ourselves and our family. But then second is to then succeed to flourish in every part of your life. Good question to ask mature people: “If you could do better, should you?” And I think almost everybody would answer the question in the affirmative. If you could improve your health, shouldn't you do that? If you can learn more, shouldn't you do that? If you could earn more and share more, shouldn't you do that? If you can improve your relationships and spirituality, shouldn't you do that? And I think that is what success is really all about. | ![]() ![]() |
| It is not just a destination that is set for everybody to try and go for. It is like Zig Ziglar said, “improving in every area of your life to see if you can't say with satisfaction at the end of the day, week, month and year, ‘I have made excellent progress this year, for myself, for my family, for my business, my career and my health.’” I think that kind of success everybody recognizes is legitimate and something we should all strive for. Interesting phrase in the Bible that says strive for perfection—not that we can ever reach it. But it is in the striving, to be a little bit better today than yesterday, in our speech, our language, our health, everything we can possibility think of. So yes, in my opinion, Success Is Everything!

| Vitamins for the Mind
by Jim Rohn Basics/Fundamentals “Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals.” “There are no new fundamentals. You've got to be a little suspicious of someone who says, ‘I've got a new fundamental.’ That's like someone inviting you to tour a factory where they are manufacturing antiques.” “Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.” “Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.” Find more “Vitamins for the Mind” in The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn, a 124-page hardbound book available on JimRohn.com. |

by Robin Sharma
There is great power in the start. One of the things I have learned is that you have to expect the unexpected. So many of us have long-term plans but life happens and we don’t turn those plans into reality. Yes, planning is important. And remember that this day will never come again and what you do in the remaining hours of this day could move your life in a whole new direction. | |

For example, today is the day you could pick up the phone and forgive that person who, you know in your heart, needs to be forgiven. Today is the day you could start getting into world-class health. Today is the day you could pull out your journal and reflect on what’s not working for you in your life. Today is the day you could articulate a new set of personal standards. Today is the day you could decide to be a world-class learner. I believe that your days are your life in miniature. As you live your days, so you craft your life. Ultimately, time management leads to life mastery. |
