I came upon this audiobook "Leading an Inspired Life" by Jim Rhon. I found myself nodding and repeating words during the 10-hour long listening. This is a fascinating and genuinely inspirational book. Jim Rhon is a master of meaningful phrases, he used many short and easy-to-understand sentences to remove the clouds over my mind, to pump more fresh enthusiasm into my blood; He used his clear and convincing philosophy to arouse my long hybernated dream of having my own company.
I decided to get the actual book and read it all over again by myself.
This is the diary of reading this book.
He mentioned the phrase " the art of winning" in the foreword of the book. What I am learning right now is the art of winning. To win your life is to be happy and healthy to the minimum and to be wealthy by creating more useful jobs for society.
Chapter One is about discipline. Fortunately, I always think I myself am a disciplined person. When I listened to this chapter, I feel like I was trying to remember all the good sentences from the book and visually talking to my children about how important it is to have a disciplined life.
Discipline is the first and foremost of all the magic words for winning your life:
"Discipline is the bridge between thought and accomplishment, between
inspiration and achievement, between necessity and productivity." Discipline is to do what you should do.
Discipline doesn't change your destination immediately, but it changes your direction. Changing in the right direction is very important.
Discipline gives you the satisfaction of feeling self-worth. Bad habits are like strands of cable tied to our bodies. Discipline unweave these cables, help us strive to reach as high as we can the best of our lives.
Remember: If I would, I could. If I will, I can. Starting a new habit, big or small, and stickint to it.
