Jim Rohn
Change
Emanuel James "Jim" Rohn (September 17, 1930 – December 5, 2009) was an American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker.

Here's a great quote from Jim.
“Your life does not get better by chance,
it gets better by change.”
it gets better by change.”
How true is this one huh?
I've also heard it said another way:
"If you want things in your life to change, you have to change things in your life."
Life isn't going to automatically, by fate or magic, get better for any of us.
Source
Life is only going to get better if we do something about it.
If we don't like something about how it is now then change is the only option.
I've heard the word insanity defined as doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.
If we keep moving down the same path we are on now we will be on the same path later and will be attracting all the same things.
There is no growth in that.
Source
With growth comes change and if you are not growing then you are dying.
Essentially, if you are not changing and evolving you are sealing your own fate.
Change is inevitable.
Those who embrace it evolve in forward moving ways.
Those who do not, stay virtually the same.
I love it when an old friend shows up that i haven't seen in a while and says they didn't recognize me.

I feel like it shows me that I am evolving and progressing.
If we leave everything up to chance then we will never have any control over what we are achieving.
I have something that I have said for years that I sort of live by.
I came up with it years ago and have kept it with me since.
I actually have it written on my wall, I like it so much.
Source
If I offend anyone by this statement I am sorry, I know it is a bit candid.
"Winners create what they want. Losers accept what they are given."
Are you creating what you want in life, or are you accepting what is handed to you?
I would love to inspire you to begin creating if you aren't already!
If you don't like what is around you, in any way, it is up to you to change it!
No one will do that for you.
In fact, they can't.
People can influence your reality but no one can actually create in anyone's reality but their own.
So, if you have been waiting for things to "get better", stop.
Take the action necessary to make it better.
You are the only one that can.
Remember,
“Your life does not get better by chance,
it gets better by change.”
it gets better by change.”

very good post i share on twitter and voted and commented thank you my friend
Thanks so much for Sharing!!
I have always struggled to get to the gym and the other day at work I was telling my friend that I was waiting for the new company gym to get finished to start again working out... And he said "why are you waiting?" It really got to me and I started working out that same day. It's been about one month since that and I have been going to a gym I have always had access to and didnt go because of excuses. Thanks for this post because change is necessary and brings happiness.
wow, what a great response! That is just what i do this for! Thanks for letting me know this. That is awesome.
Thanks for your great inspiration. I think everyday we have the opportunity to get inspired and its a responsibility we have as humans to be happy and take actions. Again, thanks amigo.
It definitely is our responsibility each day.
Gracias Amigo!
"If you want things in your life to change, you have to change things in your life."
This is really timely for me! Want to be more proactive but also more productive! Directed purposeful change! Thats why I wrote about it myself.
@felipesuarez The exact same thing happened to me!!! I was complaining to someone that I had to wait to go back to the gym & they said, "Why?" & it clicked for me &I went to the gym the next day. It felt sooo good!
wow thats so cool @allthingsmavis , great thing you took action. yeah afterwards it feels great. Let's keep it up! :)
Another great inspirational post
Cheers and hope your weekend is going well
It is, thanks man!
Great to hear that, I just got back from a walk on the beach and taking photos so an ideal start to the day for me
Have a great day
Perfect start!
great advice there, i should remember this one! i always say things will work out in the end but you still have to put the effort in, luck only goes so far :)
It's really the truth. You have to put in the work and be accepting of change.
Jim Rohn is the man and always will be!!!
Nice! I really need to read his stuff.
Wondering if you were going to throw that familiar face up one of these days ;) And I agree entirely. I was explaining that very thing to my no brain sister earlier this week. She was trying to feed me sob stories about how her life is so crappy and I was like, well...what decisions have you made to change it? Have you accepted that you are where you are because of your prior decisions? Nothing will change until you change it. Changes don't just happen. You have to create your perfect world or else it'll never exist. Great post my man.
Solid advice man. Lil sis needs to listen up :)
I love Jim Rohn!! His videos on sowing and reaping are absolutely fantastic. IF you haven't seen them, you absolutely have to watch them. :) Changed my perspective on so many things. Brilliant man.
I will definitely be checking him out now!
Yes, he's awesome... Some great stuff on YouTube. He's dead now, but he was an awesome inspiration to us all, and still is.
He's one of the ones i somehow have not read yet. On the list now for sure.
Something I've been telling myself every day lately is "To be an exception I have to be exceptional." Looks like Rohn had me beat to this style of thinking :)
I've written about a dream I had regarding the corporate lifestyle. Is it funny-sad or sad-funny?
