    The decisions we make are what determines who we are.

    Jim was a mentor to the founder of Herbalife and later on became greatly involved with the company.

    Anyway just go through his clips without the Herbalife stuff. There are heaps out there. Most importantly, ( and i constantly have to remind myself of this) they need to be implemented and practiced in everyday life. His philosophical approach to wealth creation and life in general is without a doubt life changing.

    Also not sure if you're aware but JR was Anthony Robbins mentor.

    Hi @ej89,

    I wonder how are you progressing with your ideas or businesses? This thread you started on motivation BUT I presume with the intention to put them into practice...?
    Just listen to any of Jim Rohn's YouTube video's or books or readings.
    What he said in "Five Major Pieces Of Life Puzzle" was quite thought provoking.
    "Life change starts with education not just motivation and inspiration. If a guy is an idiot and you start with motivation you will motivate and idiot! So start with education".
    Then of course ACTION is required.
    Today thanks to technology we can find motivational and inspirational material in great volumes just about anywhere, yet why doesn't everyone who reads or listens to this material becomes financially or personally successful?
    Why everyone who read "Think and Grow Rich", the "Secret", listened to Anthony Robbins, etc....didn't attain success (whatever it may be, financial or personal, etc)?
    IMHO, it stems back to DESIRE and then to your BELIEF, if your desire level is on maximum level and you THINK BIG and BELIEVE, then your motivation and inspirational material will lead you to education, to learn more, and then eventually to try to overcome your fears and to ACT!
    You see I look at it this way, if someone recommends or suggests a book, material to read, and idea, thing on my radar, my desire, I will make sure I read it ASAP, same day or the next day.
    Every past seminar I attended, if material was suggested, I would read it to educate myself, then I make sure I always apply at least one concept or idea I learned.
    So I try to be like JR said:
    'Don't read a book and be a follower; read a book and be a student.'
    'Don't let your learning lead to knowledge. Let your learning lead to action.'

    I would say... "The greatest wealth is to live content with what you have while you pursue all you want".

    WOW, WOW, WOW!
    I know so many who have so much more of everything and yet seem unhappy and not content with their life and then know few who have so much less and yet feel the appreciation, really!
    Couldn't agree more. Love this student of JR he gets it.:p
    Appreciation and fulfillment and personal philosophy great take away lessons.
    But he is right, I often receive questions why am I so happy or positive or different or that they haven't met anyone so positive and I sometimes wonder how myself?
    I think I find pleasure and fulfilment in little things in life, really, like taking pictures and making movies of my garden today and sharing with those closest to me and with similar likes.
    Like every night being grateful for three things that happened that day.
    Does it mean I don't face challenges or adversity or changes, of course not, but I chose the direction of how I feel about it. Just to share my favourite music is on playing in the background, so taking time to live and be present in the moment of joy!;)

    LOVE IT!...thanks @Sackie for remining me and analyzing yet again why life is to be cherished and blessed! I will share with those close to me, pass it around so more get it!:)
