Jim Rohn, one of the country’s leading experts on success and personal development, stated that the one reason why people don’t succeed is NEGLECT.
So his secret of success is to not neglect. Right. Do the opposite. A quick trip to the thesaurus reveals that the antonym, or opposite, of neglect is the care for or to look after. Are there things in your life that you should look after that you have been neglecting?
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 took care of listening to successful people.
While his friends neglected to set goals, Jim Rohn carefully cultivated his goals.
Jim Rohn read good books to improve his intellect and his attitude. His friends neglected to pick up the right kinds of books, or any books at all.
There are enough opportunities, money, education, and jobs for everyone. There’s no shortage. Don’t blame you lack of success of some external factor. You know the old saying, “The buck stops here.” If you’re not achieving the kind of success that you want in your like, take ownership of it.
Why don’t we succeed? We neglect.
We neglect to try new things. We neglect to seek mentors. We neglect to ignore the naysayers. We neglect to work. We neglect to set goals. We neglect to keep a positive attitude in the face of adversity.
The problem with neglect is that it affects us, well, negatively. We suffer. Not usually in a physical way, but maybe, if you neglect to exercise and eat right.
Your self-confidence will wane. Your faith in yourself and others will diminish. Where you once were positive and full of dreams and hope, you will have become negative, pessimistic, and cynical.
If you want to break the cycle of neglect in your life, you need to get in the habit of action. “Just do it,” like the old Nike ads admonished. Study the habits of successful people. Do what they do.
Start something now. Neglect no more. You have the chance to do something great with your life.
