Mr Rohn, although we may not know each other in person, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have taught me. May the Lord grant you eternal peace and joy.
Mr Rohn's mentor, Mr Shoaff, once said to him, "Jim, if you want to be wealthy and happy, learn this lesson well: Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job."
I was thinking to myself, "I want to be wealthy and happy too, but how do I do that? Working harder on myself than in my job?" Personal development has been my lifetime study, challenge and commitment ever since. Pity the man whose income grew but he didn't. Usually we ask ourselves what we will be getting for the work we do, but seldom on what kind of person we are becoming. In my opinion, most people couldn't care less about personal development. Do they even know what it is. It is not about earning big money or achieving great things in order to be happy. But being happy and staying positive while you are broke and going through a rough period would involve certain level of personal development.
So what exactly is personal development? Character, philosophy, attitude, behaviour, manners, intelligence, knowledge and the list goes on. I haven't exactly figured out but to me, it is developing every aspect that makes me a person.
I was taught that success is to be attracted rather than to be pursued. If I become, I can attract. Therefore, one of the axioms of life I live by:
To have more than you've got, become more than you are.
To have more than you've got, become more than you are.
