Personal Development, Self-Help Tips – The Miracle of Personal Development by Jim Rohn

I am a great fan of the late Jim Rohn, because though listening to him, reading his books and articles, he has help developed me to becoming the person I am now, having the yearn to learn, the desire to grow, learn and develop myself as a better person every single day. For this, I am truly grateful to him.  

One of his profound article which have help me develop my thinking about personal development and I would like to share with you in my personal development, self help tips and financial education website is…

The Miracle of Personal Development (by Jim Rohn)

” One day my mentor Mr. Shoaff said, “Jim, if you want to be wealthy and happy, learn this lesson well:

Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”

Since that time I’ve been working on my own personal development. And I must admit that this has been the most challenging assignment of all. This business of personal development lasts a lifetime.

You see, what you become is far more important than what you get. The important question to ask on the job is not, “What am I getting?” Instead, you should ask, “What am I becoming?” Getting and becoming are like Siamese twins: What you become directly influences what you get. Think of it this way: Most of what you have today you have attracted by becoming the person you are today.

I’ve also found that income rarely exceeds personal development. Sometimes income takes a lucky jump, but unless you learn to handle the responsibilities that come with it, it will usually shrink back to the amount you can handle. If someone hands you a million dollars, you’d better hurry up and become a millionaire. A very rich man once said, “If you took all the money in the world and divided it equally among everybody, it would soon be back in the same pockets it was before.”

It is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development.

So here’s the great axiom of life:

“To have more than you’ve got, become more than you are.”

This is where you should focus most of your attention. Otherwise, you just might have to contend with the axiom of not changing, which is:

“Unless you change how you are, you’ll always have what you’ve got.”

How’s that for a great article on personal development. I hope you enjoyed the article by Jim Rohn.

In passing, I  would like to share how this article has help me in my thinking and my actions. I used to be working hard on my job in my previous company until I realized that I was working hard for other people and not hard on myself.

Until I understood the concept about working hard on myself through personal development,  I was working hard on my job, exchanging my time for money. It is only when I started to really work hard on myself, developing my mindset, my skills and knowledge about success, personal development, finance, money and business, I was able to increase my value. I was able to become more than I used to be and still everyday, always trying to become all that I can possibility become. By virtue of that, I was able start a successful business, attract success and wealth , becoming financially free and doing the things I really enjoy to do.

So my advise to you… if you are still reading, is to become more than you are every single day by through personal development and self help or self-improvement. Work on you because you are the root cause of your own success and failure. Once you work on your roots, the fruits will take care of themselves and you will attain the success you desire.

“ The future is great… the future is you… and you are the key to your great future “.

To your personal development, self-help and success in life.

I hope you have enjoyed my sharing. To your personal development,  success, financial education and abundance.
