Jim Rohn – good advice from a wise man
I was saddened to hear of the passing last Saturday of modern philosopher Jim Rohn. I have often shared his quote: “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” It’s a thought that tends to stop people in their tracks as they reflect on the qualities of the people they surround themselves with.
Jim makes this challenge to us:
You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay?*
Very good advice from a wise man.
Fortunately for all of us, the legacy of his thoughts and inspiration will carry us forward as we stretch ourselves to live our very best lives.
