The Best Gift to Give
Yourself
by Jim Rohn
I'm often asked, "How can I
help my children, spouse, family member, staff
member, friend etc. improve and/or change?" In
fact the most frequently asked question I
receive is, "How can I help change someone
else?"
My answer often comes as a
surprise, and here it is: The key to helping
others is to help yourself first!
In other words, the best
contribution I can make to someone else is my
own personal development. If I become 10 times
wiser, 10 times stronger, think of what this
will do for my adventure as a father, as a
grandfather, as a business colleague...
The best gift I can give to
you, really, is my ongoing
personal development. Getting better,
getting stronger, becoming wiser. I think
parents should pick up this valuable philosophy.
If the parents are okay, the kids have an
excellent chance of being okay. Work on your
personal development as parents; that's the best
gift you can give to your children.
If you have ever flown in an
airplane, then you might have noticed the oxygen
compartment located above every seat. There are
explicit instructions that say "In case of an
emergency, secure your own oxygen mask first,
and then if you have children with you, secure
their masks." Take care of yourself first—then
assist your children. If we use that same
philosophy throughout our whole parental life,
it would be so valuable.
If I learn to create
happiness for myself, my children now have an
excellent chance to be happy. If I create a
unique lifestyle for
myself and my spouse, that will be a great
example to serve my children.
Self-development enables you
to serve, to be more valuable to those around
you; for your family...for your business...for
your colleagues...and for your community.
That's why I teach
development
skills. If you keep refining all the parts
of your character, yourself, your health, etc.
so that you become an attractive person to the
marketplace—you'll attract opportunity.
Opportunity will then begin to seek you out.
Your reputation will begin to precede you, and
people will want to do business with you.
Because possibility is
created when you work on this philosophy:
"Success is something you attract by the person
you become." Therefore, continue working on your
own personal development; become the person you
want to attract, and live an exceptional life!
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
