Don't wish it was easier ... wish you were better; ... for more skills; ... & for more wisdom. - Jim Rohn
“Don't wish
it was easier wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems wish for more
skills. Don't wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom” ~ Jim Rohn
Many times,
people wish that some area in their life would fit into their life plan or
simply become easier. However, embracing life’s difficult times actually makes
people better. Jim Rohn, a great motivational teacher and author, put it best
stating that wishing for skills and wisdom in those tough times will help us
become more successful in life.
“Life is
simply a collection of experiences; our goal should be to increase the frequency
and the intensity of the good experiences.” – Jim Rohn. When learning this
thought we are putting ourselves on a high speed highway to increased success. As
we learn to hone our skills and gain more wisdom, our life become easier. And
becoming more successful become a habit. Aristotle states it best, “We are what
we repeatedly do. Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit.”
Regardless of
your situation, it is important to understand that employing skills and wisdom
gained from previous experiences will help you through life’s difficult moments.
Find ways to sharpen your skills in your current position, with your family and
friends; or in your business practices. As you continuously fine tune those
skills and gain more wisdom, it then becomes a habit of excellence. Excellence
is not being perfect either. Excellence is about being better today than
yesterday; being better this week than last week; being better this month than
last month; and being this year than last year.
