Twelve Pillars
Excerpts from a novel by Jim Rohn & Chris Widener
•1. A Chance Encounter. The only way things are going to change for you is when you change. Be aware of those unexpected influences in your life that may be the catalyst for significant change.
•2. Live a Life of Health. You should make sure the outside of you is a good reflection of the inside of you.
•3. The Gift of Relationships. Time, effort and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.
•4. Achieve Your Goals. The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it.
•5. The Proper Use of Time. Every day has many opportunities, but only one best opportunity. Days are expensive. When you spend a day, you have one less to spend...so make sure you spend each one wisely.
•6. Surround Yourself with the Best People. Don't join an easy crowd, because you won't grow. Go where the expectations and demands to perform are high.
•7. Be a Life-Long Learner. Formal education will make you a living. Self education will make you a fortune.
•8. All of Life Is Sales. One key to having influence with others is to have others perceive you as a person of talent and virtue.
•9. Income Seldom Exceeds Personal Development. What you become directly influences what you get.
•10. All Communication Brings the Common Ground of Understanding. Communication is two or more people working together to find the common ground of understanding. When they find that common ground, they are positioned to have tremendous power together.
•11. The World Can Always Use One More Great Leader. To lead others is to help them change their thoughts, beliefs and actions for the better.
•12. Leave a Legacy. Live a life that will help others spiritually, intellectually, physically, financially and relationally. Live a life that serves as an example of what an exceptional life can look like.
