Setting goals provides a focus in life. Setting goals also helps you strive to become more than you already are. You want to create short-term and long-term goals. Goals need to be specific, measurable, actionable, realistic and time-based.
A famous Jim Rohn quote is "Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune." Rohn advises seeking knowledge about life and people. Lifelong learning keeps the mind sharp.
You must change if you want your life to change. If something doesn't work, change. Change includes getting rid of self-imposed limitations, such as procrastination, blame and excuses.
Taking charge of your financial situation is essential to creating wealth. Rohn recommends spending 70 percent of your income on essentials and luxuries and the remaining 30 percent on charity, capital investment and savings. According to Rohn, "Financial independence is the ability to live from the income of your own personal resources."
Time is your most valuable asset. Using your time wisely means understanding what is important and what isn't. Learn to say no. Being busy does not necessarily mean you are productive. Rohn said "Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time."
It's important to associate with people who support you and encourage you to become the person you want to be. To be successful, find out what successful people do and do it.
The art of living well includes learning to be wherever you are, focusing on the current moment. A good life is not about how much you have but about your attitude and approach to life.
