Jim Rohn Birthday Sale

I'm a big fan of Jim Rohn, and I've learned a lot from his programs. I just learned of this sale, and thought I'd share with you. His products really are great!

Hi Folks,

Jim Rohn here! Well, this weekend I turned 76 and while I didn't make a big deal about my birthday in the past, when I turned 70 and had a whirlwind, world-wide birthday celebration I decided it was kind of fun to make a big deal of my special day. Now, having said that, no need to flood the office with emails of birthday greetings -- my staff will wag their finger at me and say, "Jim, stop telling people it's your birthday!" ;-)

But, I did want to do something a little special for my faithful readers and customers as a way of saying, "Thank you for listening and for helping spread my message around the world!" Each one of you is fabulous!

So here's what I decided: I asked my staff to come up with a 76 Sale! Take some best selling products and then package them at amazing deals for $76! To Order, visit http://Jim76.jimrohn.com?kbid=2749

Stand guard at the door of your mind!

I was listening to a Tony Robbins tape and he said something that I really liked, "Stand guard at the door of your mind."

Maybe it is due to my involvement with warrior teachings, and my back ground in the military, martial arts, and security jobs I've held, but I really like the image of "Standing guard at the door of your mind." Don't let all the negativity we are bombarded with each day enter your mind and consume it with energy taking negativity. You need to be aware of what thoughts, ideas, and images are influencing you.

How can you remain positive if everything you are reading, watching and listening to is negative? I'm not saying never read the paper or watch the news, but I am bringing it to your attention that you need to also read, watch and listen to things that are positive and will help you grow and achieve and not bring you down and depress you.

This also goes with what friends, family and others are telling you. Do the people you surround yourself with encourage you to reach for the stars and achieve all that you can, or are they telling you that "you'll never make it," "that's impossible," "give it up and get real."

Stand guard at the door of you mind and only let those things in that will help you make things happen and achieve. Envision a samurai warrior or a knight from the round table standing at the door of your mind with sword drawn, ready to battle negativity and anything that may enter your mind and detract from living the life of your dreams.

Stand Guard!

Your Attitude!

One of the few things we have complete control over is our attitude. When faced with adversity, we can choose to focus on the negative in the situation or the positive. You have all heard that the glass can be half full or half empty. This is so true. However, having a positive mental attitude is not as easy as it sounds. It takes work, and sometimes a lot of work, to keep a positive attitude when everything seems to be going wrong. It is not always easy to see the good, or the bright side of disasters.

A positive mental attitude is seeing the benefits, opportunities, and good in situations rather than the setbacks, problems, and bad. More important, it is focusing on this positive and using it to your advantage. You must ask how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done. A positive attitude is the driving force behind persistence and perseverance.

Keeping a positive attitude takes practice. You must work at it!

Surround yourself with positive people; Read and listen to positive, motivational and inspirational material; If you catch yourself thinking negatively or especially projecting a negative attitude STOP IMMEDIATELY, take a deep breath, and do everything you can to force yourself to think of the positive.

I'm not saying it is easy. I'm not saying I always do it. But I am saying if you continue to improve your life, continue to work at having a positive attitude, and continue to look for the good in things, you will find more good, find more happiness and find more success. I continue to work at this every day. I encourage you to do likewise.

Be positive, look for the good, and don't just make things happen, MAKE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN!
