Wow a powerful article from Tom Hopkins on using what time you have to live your best life to live in the moment in the now and to go from there.
Using your basic resource which you have regularly every day.

What is Your Basic Resource?
by Tom Hopkins

What is your most basic resource? It’s not money, not brains, not who you know. Your basic resource is time. Unless you use your time well, you’ll never even get a glimpse of what your potential is. Using your time well isn’t easy--which is why so few people do it. We all have challenges with organizing our lives, setting priorities, and planning our time.

Regardless of what you do in life, time is money. If I gave you a check for $86,400 and said, “From this moment you have 24 hours to invest it. You can invest in anything you want to with this money. Whatever you don’t invest, I get back tomorrow at this exact same moment.” What would you do during the next 24 hours? You’d be out there working hard and fast to invest that $86,400, wouldn’t you?

That being your attitude, why aren’t you busily investing as much as you can of the 86,400 seconds given to you every day? That’s right--at the beginning of every day we’re all given 86,400 seconds. As each second ticks by, we’ve lost the benefit of it forever unless we find a way to invest that moment in the future.

The seconds of your life--and that’s the way you live it, one second at a time--can be invested in countless ways that will bring you a future return. Many of these ways will give you repeated returns stretching over many years. You can invest your seconds in the creation of future income, in gaining new knowledge and acquiring useful skills, in making contacts, in enhancing your personal life. The methods of gaining future benefits from present time are myriad. And so are the ways of wasting time. The seconds you squander vanish forever with no potential return. If you don’t invest your daily treasure of 86,400 seconds wisely, in essence you hand them back at the end of each day to the force that gave them to you. So, invest your time wisely.

A powerful article from Jim Rohn, many people have written about success yet Jim Rohn has done so well. You have to get over those basic fears and
grow into that leader, you have to become more. As my wonderful mentor and friend Michael Dlouhy would say “For you to make more you have to
become more, you have to become that person who people want to be in business with”. It means overcomming those fears, it means being less shy
it means growing as person and saying this is what I want.

It means taking what you want and saying this is what I came for as a person.

Facing the Enemies Within
by Jim Rohn

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won't need to live in fear of it.

Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.

Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within. The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference. What a tragic disease this is. "Ho-hum, let it slide. I'll just drift along." Here's one problem with drifting: you can't drift your way to the top of the mountain.

The second enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will steal your chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.

The third enemy inside is doubt. Sure, there's room for healthy skepticism. You can't believe everything. But you also can't let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worst of all, they doubt themselves. I'm telling you, doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy. Go after it. Get rid of it.

The fourth enemy within is worry. We've all got to worry some. Just don't let it conquer you. Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the curb in New York City and a taxi is coming, you've got to worry. But you can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner. Here's what you've got to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you, you've got to get it. Whatever is pushing on you, you've got to push back.

The fifth interior enemy is over-caution. It is the timid approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue; it's an illness. If you let it go, it'll conquer you. Timid people don't get promoted. They don't advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace. You've got to avoid over-caution.

Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what's holding you back, what's keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.

A wonderful post from Jim Rohn on starting where you are as a person, you grow and go from there.

As my good friend and awesome mentor Michael Dlouhy would say “For you to make more you have to become more,
you have to become the person who people want to be in business with”. What wise advice from both Michael Dlouhy
and Jim Rohn.

Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn

Stewardship

How much should you earn? As much as you possibly can. It doesn't matter whether you earn $10,000 a year or $100,000 a year as long as you've done the best you can.

The man says, "If I had a fortune, I'd take good care of it. But I only have a paycheck and I don't know where it all goes." Wouldn't you love to have him running your company?

If you wish to have power and influence over the many, be faithful (disciplined) when there are just a few. If you have a few employees, a few distributors, a few people, that's the time to stay in touch and be totally absorbed - when there is just a few.

Start from wherever you are and with whatever you've got.

“Vitamins for the Mind” is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of more than 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim’s personal journals, seminars and books and spanning more than 40 years.
