The Ant Philosophy by Jim Rohn

The Ant Philosophy by Jim Rohn

Over the years, I’ve been teaching kids about a simple but powerful concept: the Ant Philosophy. I think everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part philosophy.

Here is the first part: Ants never quit. That’s a good philosophy. If they’re headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll look for another way. They’ll climb over. They’ll climb under. They’ll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat… Continue

CULTIVATE CREATIVITY

CULTIVATE CREATIVITY

Somewhere among the youth of today are minds capable of discovering ways to world peace, ways to deeper and more fulfilling lives, ways to new appreciations of beauty in art or literature or music, just as there have been minds capable of splitting the atom. Ours is the task of breaking the thought barrier which keeps our young people from realizing their creative potentiality.

Samuel B. Gould

To be human is to be creative. You don’t… Continue

KEEPING YOUR BUSINESS IDEAS FRESH

KEEPING YOUR BUSINESS IDEAS FRESH

Sometimes life just isn’t fair.

When I was growing up in the 1960s, my parents said to me, “Listen to your elders. You need to learn to respect their wisdom. Someday when you’re older, young people will listen to you.” So I listened to my parents and grew up respecting the wisdom of those older than I was. But that notion has been turned upside down. Nowadays, people my age need to listen to and respect the wisdom of people who are younger… Continue

How to Stay Motivated by Dr. Denis Waitley

How to Stay Motivated by Dr. Denis Waitley

Be willing to say to yourself, “I’m on the right road. I’m doing OK. I’m succeeding.” We too frequently become adept at pointing out our flaws and identifying failures. Become equally adept at citing your achievements. Identify things you are doing now that you weren’t doing one month ago… six months ago… a year ago. What habits have changed? Chart your progress.

Doing well once or twice is relatively easy. Continuously moving… Continue

The Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs by Jim Rohn

The Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs by Jim Rohn

I realize that the topic of taxes may seem like a strange place to begin the discussion of creating wealth. And yet throughout our lives, whether young or old, we must learn the necessity of paying taxes. And as soon as they have any money at all, our children, too, must learn that when they spend money they immediately become consumers. And all consumers of goods and services, no matter how young, must pay taxes.… Continue

Your Automatic Pilot to Goal Achievement by Denis Waitley

Your Automatic Pilot to Goal Achievement by Denis Waitley

Every living organism has a built-in autopilot to help it achieve its goal, which is, in very basic terms, to live. In more primitive forms of life, to live simply means physical survival for both the individual and the species. This built-in mechanism or instinct in animals is limited to finding food and shelter, avoiding or overcoming enemies and procreation to ensure the continuation of the line.

Humans… Continue

Children Learn What They Live by Denis Waitley

An ancient Chinese proverb tells us, “A child’s life is like a piece of paper on which every passerby leaves a mark.” We cannot teach our children self-esteem. We can only help them discover it within themselves by adding positive marks and strokes on their slates. All positive motivation is rooted in self-esteem—the development of which, just as with other skills, takes practice.… Continue

1. This Week's Jump-Start

To live a rich, balanced life, we need to more consciously control our habits and lifestyles. Actualized individuals have a regular exercise routine. They pay attention to nutrition, with lean source protein and fiber-based carbohydrates as their basic food choices. They relax through musical, cultural, artistic and family activities. They get sufficient sleep and rest to meet the next day renewed and… Continue

Hello, everyone!

You may not have known this, but for the last eight years I have been a member of the U.S. Navy, serving as a reservist. I completed a tour in Afghanistan during 2007. My contract ended this week, and I am a civilian now.

I joined after 9/11. Going to boot camp at age 29 was a tough but invaluable life experience. Each morning, we had seven seconds to get out of our racks. One morning I was disoriented and sat up to get… Continue

The Four Emotions That Can Lead to Life Change by Jim Rohn

The Four Emotions That Can Lead to Life Change by Jim Rohn

Emotions are the most powerful forces inside us. Under the power of emotions, human beings can perform the most heroic (as well as barbaric) acts. To a great degree, civilization itself can be defined as the intelligent channeling of human emotion. Emotions are fuel and the mind is the pilot, which together propel the ship of civilized progress.

Which emotions cause people to act? There are four… Continue

THINKING BIG IS THE BEST PLAN by Robert Kiyosaki

THINKING BIG IS THE BEST PLAN

by Robert Kiyosaki

Years ago, when I was just starting my real estate investing career, I came across a property with a for-sale sign on it. I called the broker and asked, "What can you tell me about the property, and how much does it cost?"

The broker politely and patiently said, "It's a commercial building with six tenants. There's a chiropractor, a dentist, a hairstylist, an accountant, and a bail bondsman. The price is two million… Continue

ENTHUSIASM

ENTHUSIASM

“Enthusiasm is the best protection in any situation. Wholeheartedness is contagious. Give yourself, if you wish to get others.” -David Seabury

SHIFTING PERSPECTIVE FOR PHENOMENAL REWARDS

SHIFTING PERSPECTIVE FOR PHENOMENAL REWARDS

by Mark Victor Hansen

The truth is that when you have done everything you know how to do and your career, finances, marriage, etc. isn’t working; you have to start over from scratch. Maybe the old way of doing things works for your friends or colleagues, but judging from your results and where you are (rock bottom) the old way, or normal way, just didn’t give you the success you desire.

Some people may, and more than likely… Continue

Chapter 6. Sankhya-yoga

Chapter 6, Verse 1.

The Blessed Lord said: One who is unattached to the fruits of his work and who works as he is obligated is in the renounced order of life, and he is the true mystic: not he who lights no fire and performs no work.

Chapter 6, Verse 2.

What is called renunciation is the same as yoga, or linking oneself with the Supreme, for no one can become a yogi unless he renounces the… Continue
