"Get Liberated"

No-Nonsense Wise Man

Posted by Debbie Wysocki on December 10, 2009

Today’s message  comes from one of my key Mentors, Jim Rohn.  Like so many others, Jim made a big imprint on my life — he was the first ‘motivational’ speaker I invested with.  And, he inspired me to reach a BIG Goal — the prize was lunch with him — which for me lit a fire under me.  If you haven’t heard of Jim (or haven’t listened to him lately), grab hold of one of his books or audios and you will laugh and, more importantly have few light bulbs go off that could make a difference for you :) .

Jim Rohn was a no-nonsense wise man (reminds me of my dad — also named Jim).  Rohn was self-made — but only after he lived in the depths of debt and mediocrity.  He landed a job with ‘Mr. Soaff’ who became his mentor.

I wish I could share with you all the ‘Rohnisms’ that have particularly stuck with me — and the wonderful timber of Jim’s voice in his delivery.

But today, I’ll share this message:

You must constantly ask yourself these questions:

*Who am I around?

*What are they doing to me?

*What have they got me reading?

*What have they got me saying?

*Where do they have me going?

*What do they have me thinking?

And most important . . .

*What do they have me becoming?

Then ask yourself the big question:  Is that OK?

Don’t join an easy crowd; you won’t grow.  Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.  (If you have kids, you know this)

Some people you can afford to spend a few minutes with . . . but not a few hours.

Get around people who have something of value to share with you.  Their impact will continue to have a significant effect on your life long after they have departed.

I shared Jim Rohn with you today in his honor –he passed away this weekened but is surely smiling down on us.  I know I smile every time I’m at church taking notes on the Bible Study.

He said to a group of us, why wouldn’t you be taking notes on Life’s Instruction Manual?

Enjoy the rest of your week . . . and remember . . . How you do anything is how you do everything!
