The Secret of Success from Jim Rohn

By: Brian Sylvan According to Jim Rohn, a leading personal development expert, most people don't succeed because of neglect.

In order to succeed, then, we need to do the opposite of neglect. What's that? The thesaurus indicates that the opposite, or antonym, of neglect is to look after or to care for. In other words, we need to look after the things that we have neglected.

Jim Rohn was a millionaire by the age of 31. He attributes his success to his ability to look after or care for the success characteristics others neglected.

Jim Rohn listened to successful people. His friends neglected to do this.

Jim Rohn set goals. His friends neglected to put any goals down.

Jim took care of his mind and attitude by reading good books.

Do we have enough opportunities? Yes. Is there enough money for everybody to get their piece? Yes. Can everyone get an education? Yes. Are there enough jobs? Yes. Is there something out there that you would be good at? Of course.

Don't be like so many folks who neglect. Stop the neglect now. You're more than mediocre.

We neglect to live our lives. We neglect to surround ourselves with people who will help us succeed. We neglect to set meaningful goals and then to strive to achieve them. We neglect to work on our attitudes. We neglect...

Neglect will tear you down. Every time you neglect something in your life, you open your soul to decay. Eventually, you won't recognize the person you've become.

Neglect actually affects us on a spiritual and mental level. We lose confidence in ourselves. Our attitudes turn negative. We let down the people we love most. We doubt we can succeed. We doubt our talents. We lose ourselves.

The only way to fight neglect is to do something. Act. As the old Nike saying goes, "Just Do It." I say, "Do it now."

Start something now. Neglect no more. You have the chance to do something great with your life.
