One of Life's Great Lessons - Learn to be Thankful for What You Already Have
by Jim Rohn (excerpted from the 2004 Jim Rohn Weekend Event DVD/CD series)
Is thankfulness a survival skill? Perhaps most of you would respond with, "No, Jim, thankfulness is not key to survival", and I would tend to agree with you. Most of us have probably already solved the necessary problems of survival, gone beyond that and are now working to achieve our desires. But let me give you this key phrase, "Learn to be thankful for what you already have, while you pursue all that you want." I believe one of the greatest and perhaps one of the simplest lessons in life we can learn is to be thankful for what we have already received and accomplished.
Both the years and the experiences have brought me here to where I stand today, but it is the thankfulness that opened the windows of opportunities, of blessings, of unique experiences to flow my way. My gratitude starts with my parents who raised me, gave me an incredible foundation that has lasted me all of these years and continues with the mentors that I've met along the way who absolutely changed and revolutionized my life, my income, my bank account, my future. I am also very thankful for the people, the associations, for the ideas, for the chance to work and labor, and to produce results, all of that has brought me to this place, to this weekend. I'm grateful for it all.
What a unique opportunity each one of you here has, so many of us; representing different countries, nations and cultures, to appreciate the uniqueness of our own experiences that has brought us all here, together, for these three days to learn new skills and sharpen old ones. For the countries we represent; we have freedom and liberty. These are extraordinary times, about eleven years ago the walls came tumbling down, in Germany, and it started a wave of democracy and freedom like the world has never seen before. We as a country and as a world have so much to be thankful for. Always start with thanksgiving; be thankful for what you already have and see the miracles that come from this one simple act.
Now thankfulness is just the beginning; next, you've got to challenge yourself to produce. Produce more ideas than you need for yourself so you can share and give your ideas away. That is called fruitfulness and abundance. Here's what I think fruitfulness and abundance mean - to go to work on producing more than you need for yourself so you can begin blessing others, blessing your nation and blessing your enterprise. Once abundance starts to come, once someone becomes incredibly productive, it's amazing what the numbers turn out to be. But to begin this incredible process of blessing, it often starts with the act of thanksgiving and gratitude, being thankful for what you already have and for what you've already done. Begin the act of thanksgiving today and watch the miracles flow your way.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

"Take it in steps. If you've never made more
than the minimum wage, don't aim for half-a-million dollar goal the first
year in selling or with a new company. Always aim for the earnings level
that excites you a lot and only scares you a little. The essential element
is faith in yourself." Tom Hopkins
2. Your Achievement Quotes
STRESS MANAGEMENT
"…the Law of Stress-Hardiness…states that stress is not only to be expected but preferred…we can and should develop a positive, workable approach to stress management…Think of it. The perfect no-stress environment is the grave…When we change our perception we gain control. The stress becomes a challenge, not a threat. When we commit to action, to actually doing something rather than feeling trapped by events, the stress in our life becomes manageable." -- Greg Anderson
"Resolve today to either resolve or walk away from any situation that makes you unhappy or causes you stress." -- Brian Tracy
"Nature tops the list of potent tranquilizers and stress reducers. The mere sound of moving water has been shown to lower blood pressure." -- Patch Adams
"In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you." -- Deepak Chopra

From Our Sponsor:
Robert Kiyosaki had two dads . . .
A rich dad and a poor dad.
One dad was highly educated and intelligent. He had a Ph.D. and had completed four years of undergraduate work in less than two years. He then went to Stanford University, the University of Chicago and Northwestern University to do his advanced studies. All on full, financial scholarships.
His other dad never finished the eighth grade. Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their lives. Both earned substantial incomes.
Yet one dad struggled financially all his life and the other dad would become one of the richest men in Hawaii. One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities and his church. The other left a legacy of unpaid bills. Both men were strong, charismatic and influential. Both men offered Robert advice, but they did not advise the same things.
Each dad had a very different point of view on the subject of money. One dad would say, "The love of money is the root of all evil." The other, "The lack of money is the root of all evil." Having two dads - and loving them both - forced Robert to think about, and ultimately choose, a way of thinking for himself. In doing so, he gained valuable insights into the power and effect of one's thoughts on one's life.
At the age of nine, Robert chose not to listen to his real dad - the one with all the college degrees - on matters of money. He decided to listen to and learn from his rich dad about money. And he wants to teach you what he learned, something traditional schools don't teach:
How to get started on the path to wealth and financial freedom.
Robert Kiyosaki's extraordinary programs are a radical departure from traditional thinking on education and traditional ideas on money.
And right now three of his most popular programs are available to you individually or as a package for a very special price!

View, listen to and study Robert's programs to acquire the knowledge, the tools and the new state of mind that'll start you on your journey to financial freedom!

success, start a little earlier, work a little harder, and stay a little
later." Brian Tracy
3. Your Achievement Tips
Problems are a Normal Part of Change by Denis Waitley (Excerpted from the 2004 Jim Rohn Weekend Event CD/DVD Package)
When asked, "How do you develop mental toughness in life?", my response might sound negative at first when I answer, "Always be prepared for a surprise. The surprise might be a negative surprise. Something is going to happen in your day, whether you are late because you got stuck behind a train or your car had a flat tire -- something is going to happen... And the key is your ability not to take mole hills and look at them as mountains."
Problems are a normal part of change. Things are changing so rapidly that there are going to be problems you face. So you must look at failure as an event, not as a person. I'm not a failure. Maybe I've had a failure or a temporary inconvenience. I've had a stumbling block, and the idea is to turn the stumbling block into a stepping stone, and step on it instead of stumble over it. So look at failure as the fertilizer of success.
Fertilizer stinks, it smells. You see that guy putting it on his lawn and you say, "Wow, that guy fertilized his lawn." You fertilize your mistakes. You don't wallow in them, lay in them, roll in them; you pick yourself up off your mistakes and learn from them. You try not to repeat that same thing again. But you look at it as a temporary inconvenience, as a detour -- a detour in life -- not as a failure."
