>

Jim Rohn describes The Seasons of Life as a condensation of tips and observations he gained over 40 years to aid to place life, events, purpose, opportunities and challenges into perspective. His purpose for writing this book is to awaken and unearth the answers that lie dormant deep inside our hearts and minds.


The Seasons of Life is a book filled with a lot of popular sense data, but it is a wonderful reminder for us. For example, we are in a scenario where we know that we have to change and attempt one thing new considering what we have been performing no longer works, but we have so a lot invested in old ideas, old buddies, old approaches of performing points or even an old belief method that no longer serves us, that we merely refuse to make the needed modifications. As Rohn explains, "We tend to accumulate and cling to concepts that limit our progress. We cherish friendships even although the friendships impede our individual growth... We wander by way of life permitting individuals and their attitudes and concepts to mold our characters - people today whose attitudes and tips have brought themselves small in the way of progress, productivity, or happiness... If our attitudes, outcomes, or happiness is to ever boost, we ought to physical exercise the painful discipline necessary for "weeding-out" the garden of our life."


The seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter are utilized as an analogy for the several stages and occurrences in our lives. The book explains how we all go via the distinctive seasons of life from the harsh winter where issues do not go our way to the wonderful summer where life is wonderful. Rohn shares how we can get through the tough times and enjoy the great ones even much more.


Winter - Learn how to survive: "The arrival of winter finds us in 1 of two categories: Either we are ready or we are unprepared... To those who are prepared, who have planted abundantly in the spring, guarded their crops carefully during the summer, and harvested massively in the course of the fall, winter can be however an additional season of chance." Winter at all times comes soon after the harvest of fall. Do the personal inner work to stay strong and positive and don't give up. Know that spring is continually about the corner.


Spring - Window of opportunity: "Springtime is the fresh air of new opportunity, amid the dissipating clouds of winter... [It] is the time for entering the bleak, empty fields given to us as a new chance... Each and every day is given us as a new season of spring." This is your window when you ought to take action and plant your seeds of opportunity. It is the season when your soil is most fertile so you have to exercise the discipline to plant even although there may possibly be several obstacles in front of us. Rid your soil of weeds and rocks, which may perhaps seem as the opinions of those about us in the form of worry, doubt, or pessimism. The springtime of our lives manifests itself infrequently so we have to seize the moment and plant massively and intelligently.


Summer - Nourish and Defend: "The summer of life is a time to guard it is a time for constant day-to-day effort to guard against the busy bugs and noxious weeds. The spring is a time for the creation of points of value, and those factors need the season of summer for growing and gaining strength that they could possibly yield their result in the coming fall" Fertilize your new habits so they continue to develop. Pull out your weeds of bad habits. Be patient, the outcomes might possibly not normally show instantly.


Fall - Harvest: "For those who planted abundantly in the spring, and who fought against the bugs, weeds, and weather of summer, fall can bring rewards which give trigger for rejoicing... The fall tells us if we have genuinely carried out that which is required... Huge action in the spring of life still is the requirement for enormous success in the fall." In all aspects of your life, the harvest will come in due time. Take a journey in your mind to where you see the harvest of your changes, having the life you want.
