Jim Rohn was a motivational speaker and entrepreneur who left a wealth of wisdom behind. Many talks of his are available on the internet, and in my late thirties, there was a phase where I used to listen to many of his recorded talks regularly. Jim Rohn had a great knack for condensing life lessons into powerful quotes. Here are ten of his most impactful quotes that convey some powerful ideas for leading a good life.
- Either you run the day or the day runs you.
- The more you care, the stronger you can be.
- Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
- You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.
- We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
- You don’t get paid for having knowledge; you get paid for applying it.
- If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
- Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.
- Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.
- You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
