​A Good Life Contains…

As another year ends and we prepare to experience the next, we can’t help but consider what has passed and what is before us. Ever changing and unpredictable, we can choose to either recall the good and build on it or bemoan what could have been. Our thoughts lead us either way. Humans are complex and we are in constant transformation, we are fueled and directed by our thinking, year after year.
​
Inspiration is a fuel that helps direct our mind. Whether through a book or documentary, perhaps a person or an organization, or an event that stirs our emotions, we need to feed our inspiration appetite and exercise our motivation muscle and remain open to the possibilities. Life can be better if we move forward, into our next year, consciously inspired! 
Success Magazine is one of my favorite inspirational bi-monthly reads. The November/December issue highlighted one of the most successful men in the industry of inspiration and motivation, the late Jim Rohn. 
My first introduction to the wisdom of Jim Rohn was in the early 1990's while taking classes on personal development. With practical advice and everyday wisdom, Jim’s stories inspired me. He was one of the most influential personalities as well as one of the greatest speakers of the late 20th and early 21st century. He was also known to many as America’s foremost business philosopher, and a rags-to-riches multi-millionaire who helped countless others achieve meaningful and significant success in their lives.  

The following is an expert from "A Good Life Contains These 6 Essentials", by Jim Rohn in the current Success Magazine. As we prepare for another year to unfold, perhaps these insights from the master teacher of living the best life ever will encourage us to be prepared. Enjoy and be inspired!

1. Productivity: You won’t be happy if you don’t produce. The game of life is not rest. Yes, we must rest but only long enough to gather strength to get back to productivity. What’s the reason for the seasons and the seeds, the soil and the sunshine, the rain, and the miracle of life? It’s to see what you can do with it—to try your hand to see what you can do. 
2.     Good friends: Friendship is probably the greatest support system in the world, so don’t deny yourself the time to develop it. Nothing can match it. It’s extraordinary in its benefit. 
3.     Culture: Language, music, ceremonies, traditions, dress. All of that is so vitally important that you must keep it alive. The uniqueness of all of us, when blended, brings vitality, energy, power, influence, and rightness to the world. 
4.     Spirituality: It helps to form the foundation of the family that builds the nation. Make sure you study, practice, and teach—don’t be careless about the spiritual part of your nature because it’s what makes us who we are, different from animals. 
5.     Don’t miss anything: Go to everything you possibly can. Buy a ticket to everything you possibly can. Go see everything and experience all you possibly can. Live a vital life. If you live well, you will earn well. If you live well, it will show in your face; it will show in the texture of your voice. There will be something unique and magical about you if you live well. It will infuse not only your personal life but also your business life and it will give you vitality nothing else can give. 
6.     Family and the inner circle: Invest in them, and they’ll invest in you. Inspire them, and they’ll inspire you. Take care of the details with your inner circle… It’s the special stuff with your inner circle that makes you strong and powerful and influential. So don’t miss that opportunity. There’s a saying that emphasizes this:There are many virtues and values, but here’s the greatest: one person caring for another. There is no greater value than love.

So, make sure in your busy day to remember the true purpose and the reasons you do what you do. May you truly live the kind of life that will bring the fruit and rewards that you desire.

The Happiest of Holidays for all.

With love,
Hilda
