Hello Marvelous People!
First I want to tell you that I am honored that you continue to share my
blog with others around the world. Our subscriber base continues to grow &
it is that exact encouragement that continues to keep me committed to bring
you valuable content that may inspire you during your path to higher
achievement.
One of the most precious gifts that you can ever receive – (And by the way
you can’t buy it with money) – is the gift of being around a role model or a
mentor. Around 1980-81, I discovered a person that would be that person for me. Jim Rohn is no longer with us, but his spirit remains inside me today, as it
does millions of others that he has positively impacted over the years. We shared a stage only once. There were 4 or 5 speakers that night. I was the first speaker.He was the last. As they say, we saved the “BEST FOR LAST”. They did. He spoke to a group of hopeful Network Marketers that were distributing products with Meadow Fresh Farms. A company out of Utah.
That was 31 years ago as I write this text, I enjoyed their nutritional beverage products 20 minutes ago. Their products now are distributed by Legacy.
Jim Rohn had an impact on me. 31 years ago a product had a positive impact on me. 31 years ago Jim Rohn taught the following Life Lessons to me.
May you enjoy & be inspired by this lesson. This wisdom is TIMELESS.
Sip it, take it in, work with it. And make your life more——WORTHWHILE.
Peace, Love and Gumbo! Marvin LeBlanc
Four Words That Make Life Worthwhile by Jim Rohn
Over the years, as I’ve sought out ideas, principles and strategies to
life’s challenges, I’ve come across four simple words that can make living
worthwhile.
First, life is worthwhile if you LEARN. What you don’t know will hurt you.
You have to have learning to exist, let alone succeed. Life is worthwhile if
you learn from your own experiences-negative or positive.
We learn to do it right by first sometimes doing it wrong. We call that a
positive negative. We also learn from other people’s experiences, both
positive and negative. I’ve always said that it is too bad failures don’t
give seminars. Obviously, we don’t want to pay them, so they aren’t usually
touring around giving seminars. But that information would be very valuable.
We would learn how someone who had it all, messed it up. Learning from other
people’s experiences and mistakes is valuable information because we can
learn what not to do without the pain of having tried and failed ourselves.
We learn by what we see, so pay attention. We learn by what we hear, so be a
good listener. Now, I do suggest that you should be a selective listener.
Don’t just let anybody dump into your mental factory. We learn from what we
read, so learn from every source. Learn from lectures. Learn from songs.
Learn from sermons. Learn from conversations with people who care. Always
keep learning.
Second, life is worthwhile if you TRY. You can’t just learn. Now you have to
try something to see if you can do it. Try to make a difference. Try to make
some progress. Try to learn a new skill. Try to learn a new sport. It
doesn’t mean you can do everything, but there are a lot of things you can do
if you just try. Try your best. Give it every effort. Why not go all out?
Third, life is worthwhile if you STAY. You have to stay from spring until
harvest. If you have signed up for the day or for the game or for the
project, see it through. Sometimes calamity comes; then it is worth wrapping
it up and that’s the end. But just don’t end in the middle. Maybe on the
next project you pass, but on this one, if you signed up, see it through.
And lastly, life is worthwhile if you CARE. If you care at all, you will get
some results. If you care enough, you can get incredible results. Care
enough to make a difference. Care enough to turn somebody around. Care
enough to start a new enterprise. Care enough to change it all. Care enough
to be the highest producer. Care enough to set some records. Care enough to
win.
Four powerful little words: learn, try, stay and care. What difference can
you make in your life today by putting these words to work?
