Any Day You Wish You Can Change the Direction You’re Headed

Jim Rohn is one of the true greats in the motivational field. Let’s take one little quote of his right now,

“What we ponder and what we think about sets the course of our life. Any day we wish, we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish we can open a book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish we can start a new activity. Any day we wish we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year”

Or we can go to our grave never having done it…

What he says is true, any day we wish! No such thing exists as too dumb, too ugly, too disfigured, even, too stupid, wrong background, wrong religion, wrong race, wrong color, wrong age, wrong state of health although that’s one challenge you would obviously want to work on. I mean you can’t change your race, but you can start improving your health in some way, any day you wish.

Any day you wish, if you’re tired of the monotony you can begin the process of change.

Any day you wish, if you’d like to earn more money, you can begin the process of change.

Any day you wish, the ball’s in your court.

There’s three things, philosophy, strategy, action.

See, you and I, for instance, we know people – let me give you a story, company’s called Critter Control. It’s a good company if you ever get animals in your attic or in your basement and would like to have someone professional solve the issue for you, give them a call, they’ve got a 1-800 number, +1-800-Critter. (There’s a free marketing lesson for you there in that one!)

But, the fine gentleman who has the franchise here in Nashville, talking to him – he was doing work at my place – and he was telling me that he was – this was like 20 years ago, he was there with the founder of Critter Control. He was working side-by, he was working for, working side-by-side the founder.

And you know, it was just a job, so he twisted off and did something different, series of jobs and series of – you know you get off at 6:00 and go home and drink beer… And, “Don’t call me to come back to work because I’ve already had 2 beers!”, when they actually have already had 4… Know what I mean?

Twenty years later, Critter Control is in something like, and these are not exact figures, I’m just remembering the conversation, something like 26 states and 4 to 6 countries. It’s a big thing. And now Mike has got his own franchise.

Hey, he knew the business; he knew the business 20-years ago. It wasn’t not knowing the business, it was doing the business or not. Now he’s got a franchise. He’s happy.

And this other man that he started out with is a multi-millionaire.

Any day you wish you can change the direction of your history, of your destiny. Everything you do leads to a final outcome. Any day you wish you can change the direction that you’re headed.
