Jim Rohn - Finding Your True Passion and Purpose (Jim Rohn Motivation)

JIM ROHN► I think trying to find your passion is a little bit maybe too strong a word
greatly desiring to be extremely successful I think probably is
sufficient but if you can find something you really love to do and can do it with
great passion I think that's fantastic but I think being grateful privilege
number one if you've got a job you got to be grateful said this isn't the
greatest job in the world even if it's a transitional job getting you where you
want to go you got to be grateful you don't have to love your job or be
passionate about your job just passionate about staying steady working
hard learning skills doing this job so well that the next one will be even
better than taking such good care of this opportunity another one will
present itself some kind of a man says if I had a good job I'd really pour it
on but I've got this lousy job so I just goof off so that's not the attitude nor
the philosophy so if you'd really pour it on this one even though it may not be
the best job in the world it furnishes a living you have to be grateful if it
takes care of you and your family you got to have gratitude not necessarily
passion but gratitude but I think if you have an extreme desire to wish to be
successful so you can accomplish all you wish to accomplish be as generous as
you'd like to be be as strong as you'd like to be in terms of financial
strength involved in entrepreneurial projects that you can't do without let's
say sizeable money so you go for that to me I think that's sufficient I think we
say you have to find your passion people find that a little bit confusing where
would I find it and what could I be passionate about I guess you could start
with saying and passionate about providing unusual success for myself and
for my family so that my children will say in the
years to come we had the most incredible life together as a family
then I think the key is to let what you want to accomplish let that grow
Kord first this is as far as you can see but if you'll do that you can say well
maybe I can multiply by two by three and expand my vision accomplish a lot more
if you have an enterprise maybe you could make it stronger and better more
far-reaching and let that happen it's got to figure it all out and then get
that done we just don't do that we can figure out the next little part
of our life that we can see and then we can say well eventually I'd like to have
and let those dreams linger somewhere in your consciousness I say make a list of
all the things that would give you the most incredible life just make that list
what would do it for you over the next 10 20 years
places to go things to see people to meet books to read skills to learn
investments to make being generous it's make list of all the things that you
think would make for you really fantastic life and at first don't worry
about how to get it just let your mind run free and think what would really do
it for you and then just begin and let those lists alter because sometimes you
start for something and then you say sure enough I thought this was really
going to be everything I wanted sure enough this is really not it or I can
see now long before you are going to accomplish it I'm investing too much
money and time and effort so you change anytime you want you can tear up your
whole list and start all over again some people say I made the list so I have to
accomplish it in the answers now you don't have to do it it's your life it's
your list you can turn it upside down right side up scratch off some things
put some new things on or start all over again don't let it become an obsession
let it become an enticement better to be enticed and obsessed or we might invest
too much effort in time in something that's not really going to turn out to
be as great as we thought it would the old prophet said sometimes thing
that tastes good in the mouth later turns bitter in the belly we think oh
this is it sure enough it was a bit of an illusion don't cry for me Argentina
right one of the lines is they are illusions they're not the solutions they
promise to be but that's a learning experience and we can only be affected
by what we see sometimes as well you shouldn't have devoted so much of your
time and energy but if that's what you can see only that at the moment we're
going to do it and we just learn as we go
we need to collection of experience to give us good data on what to do what not
to do sometimes you need more experience to make a wiser decision if a person
says Alive eating junk food now for a week but look how strong and healthy I
am season that's a delusion one week is not going to give you the right kind of
information about how you feel whether it's a good idea to continue or not you
need a lot more experience than that to decide whether or not it's good for you
I use this Dilys tration once with the candle lit talking about having enough
experience to make wise decisions and I said would all of you agree that the
fire will burn my finger let's say that I don't know that but you're trying to
teach me now if you put your finger in the flame it will burn your finger I say
okay I'm ready to try it so I put my finger in the flame and take it out you
know fairly quickly in and out right in the flame and out and I say look my
fingers okay let me try it again and I put my finger in the flaming take it
right out my fingers okay where did you get this idea that the flame would burn
my finger and they say no no mr. rum you can't just go like this really quick and
put your finger and take it right out of the flame to know that the flame will
burn your finger you've got to leave your finger in there just a little
longer so yes then I need a little more
experience to make a wise decision so well I've taken this coke
you know I feel ok but see you don't know the end of that road this is only
the beginning when it seems to be ok but you need more experience now if you
don't have any personal experience on cocaine then you've got to go to someone
who has and says look 20 years of my life was wasted and I finally turned it
around like some of the old rock and rollers that have turned it around
amazing I was in Paris the other day had 20,000 in my class also in town were the
Rolling Stones who rolled into Paris and stopped for a
while with Mick Jagger and all the rest these guys got through those treacherous
days of drugs and alcohol somehow made it a lot of them didn't make it
boy George said I woke up one day and all my friends were dead
that's enough experience so maybe if you haven't had enough you're just getting
started but you better check out somebody to spend down that road for
maybe 4 or 5 years or 3 or 4 years or 20 and make a judgement based on a lot more
data than just trying something to say hey it seems to be ok I think that's
wise advice
