All Life Wishes to Reward Its Benefactors
All Life Wishes to Reward Its Benefactors
by Jim Rohn
Parents, leaders, employers, teachers and volunteers, have you discovered one of the great positive mysteries of life? Here it is: All life seems to wish to reward its benefactor.
If you become the benefactor, you will receive these incredible rewards. If you are the benefactor to the garden, the flowers seem to bloom and say, "Look at me. Look how bright and beautiful I am because you took care of me. I wish to reward you by being beautiful, lovely, spectacular."
Your own children, if you become their benefactor, they want to reward you with their progress. I taught my daughters how to swim. And my daughters would say, as they were about to dive, "Daddy, daddy, watch, watch, look, look, watch," as if to say, “Look what you have created here; you've spent the time with me and now look at me. This is the payoff. Watch me dive!" I was their benefactor.
I have found that all life wishes to respond to the benefactor. The ones who give their time, give their effort, give their patience, give their ideas, the benefit of their experience. Whatever has benefited from that wishes to respond. The crop wishes to grow. The child wishes to show you how much progress she has made.
And remember that whatever you move toward tends to move toward you. Just as when you move toward education and education starts to seek you out. Or when you move toward progress and progress seems to want to now embrace you. You will find that, just as predictably, as you move toward helping those in your care, they will wish to repay you with their own success and accomplishments.
From Jim Rohn’s Newsletter, a powerful article on the benefit of teaching people.

Chapter 6 – Imagination
Chapter 6
Imagination
The workshop of the mind
The fifth step towards riches.
We are reminded during this chapter that whatever we can conceive and believe becomes truth. So we must then say our self talk and create our own reality. Having left a volunteer role to focus on having own family and seeing such start to take progress all it took was a decision and the use of own imagination.
The story of Dr Gunsaulus and Asa Candler were inspirational stories showing the power what can happen when we imagine something. Its as powerful as the power of thought, that you create your own world through what you say to yourself. When you say oh this can’t be from me, how is that possible then you reject such. However when your believe such it turns your life around. Sometimes we may spend years thinking and waiting like Dr Gunsaulus however we must eventually come to the decision to act.
Thank you to Michael, Willena, Shelly and Mervyn for your love guidance and inspiration. Thank you to the wonderful mental cleanse participants whose lessons inspire me. Love you all so much,

Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn – Giving/Sharing/Generosity
Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Giving/Sharing/Generosity
It's best to start the discipline of generosity when the amounts are small. It's easy to give ten cents out of a dollar; it's a little harder to give a hundred thousand out of a million.
Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.
Nothing teaches character better than generosity.
Here's what is exciting about sharing ideas with others: If you share a new idea with ten people, they get to hear it once and you get to hear it ten times.
Sharing makes you bigger than you are. The more you pour out, the more life will be able to pour in.
Somebody says, "Well, I can't be concerned about other people. About the best I can do is to take care of myself." Well, then you will always be poor.
What you give becomes an investment that will return to you multiplied at some point in the future.
When somebody shares, everybody wins.
The amount you give isn't important. What matters is what that amount represents in terms of your life.
Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have.
