You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.” – Jim Rohn

Daily I’m hearing people complain about the economy, the President, their boss, and other circumstances that are out of their control. In this quote, Jim Rohn reminds us that WE must take charge for where we are in life.

Frankly, if you hate where you are in life – DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

God gave us a brain and free will to use at its fullest capacity. If we’re not doing what we’re capable of, shame on us. Make it a goal this week to speak less and do more.

You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself…You don’t have charge of the constellations, but you do have charge of whether you read, develop new skills, and take new classes… Your paycheck is not your employer’s responsibility, i t’s your responsibility. Your employer has no control over your value, but you do.” – Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn is one of my mentors. He doesn’t know it, but he’s impacted my life greatly.

One of the best things that Mr. Rohn has taught me is that the financial rewards we reap in life are directly correlated with our personal development. If we don’t work on ourselves, how should we expect to be worth more to the marketplace?

The fact is that the marketplace will pay each of us what we are worth. Jim Rohn also says, “Don’t bring your need to the marketplace, bring your skill. If you don’t feel well, tell your doctor, but not the marketplace. If you need money, go to the bank, but not the marketplace.”

Do you want to make more money? Have greater skills. Need more skills? Work on yourself!
