Why Independent Thinking Matters: Insights & Quotes from Jim Rohn!

Independent thinking is the cornerstone of human existence, distinguishing us from other creatures and setting us on a path toward self-determination. Working on developing your own views and values rather than depending on external validation allows you to navigate life according to your own compass and attract success through personal growth.

In this episode, you'll learn: 

1. Your experience is specific to you - what works for others may not work for you
2. Finding your own "vibration" prevents you from blindly following trends
3. Solitude is necessary for self-discovery and hearing your own thoughts
4. Working harder on yourself than on your job attracts the right opportunities
5. Learning to "fish" gives you flexibility instead of depending on what others offer
6. External factors like the economy shouldn't stop your personal development

Nothing in this life is too good for you - determine your talents and bring value to the marketplace instead of settling for less

The objective is to think deliberately and with a purpose. The only thing about a man that is a man is his mind. Everything else you can find in a horse or a pig, and obviously I'm using man as a figure of speech. This applies to women as well. But to do this requires independent thinking and having the confidence to draw on your own innate intelligence and depend on your own judgment. Independent thinking is having your own views and values to guide you instead of depending on someone else to be your compass. And an independent thinker is self-determined and does not rely on the validation of others, because, bear in mind, if you live for the cheers, you die by the booze.

Now don't get me wrong. Outside validation is not a bad thing and it should make you feel good, but it's not something that you should depend on. The pursuit is not a bad thing and it should make you feel good, but it's not something that you should depend on. The pursuit of the best solution should be your own motivator. One thing I always say is that there's different strokes for different folks. Your luck is not my luck and my luck is not your luck. Not because it didn't work for you means it cannot work for me and vice versa. They're not robots, so you shouldn't be taking instructions and orders. You should gather information, analyze it and come to your own conclusion.

You ever been to a party or an event and to you it was subpar at best, but everyone else is raving about it Like this is the best thing since the internet? Yeah, well, that's exactly how life is. Your experience is specific to you. That's why it's important for you to know exactly what you're into, or you could walk around for your whole life being confused. Work to murder mace and kill a cam man Two things can be true at the same time. So the event could have been spectacular, but it just may not have been your cup of tea. So I definitely recommend finding the time to figure out what's your vibration and your motion, so you don't just be following the new hotness. It's extremely important to spend time with self and figure out who you are and what's your speed, because it's hard to hear yourself think in the crowd. So capitalize on those moments of solitude whenever you can, and if you don't, I guarantee you you'll end up as an extra in someone else's movie.

Like jim ron said, leaving your plans up to someone else is dangerous, because what do you think that they have in store for you? Just enough for you to get them to where exactly they're trying to go? Jim Rohn got too many gems man. Another powerful thing that he said that always stuck with me was that success is not something that you attain. Success is something that you attract by the person that you become. So it's important for you to work harder on yourself than you do at your job so you could attract the right people and opportunities to take you to the level that you're trying to get to. And that's always way easier when you have your own motion, because anywhere you go, you will be a value add, so people would be glad to have you around.

There's no need to wait for the economy or the government to change or for taxes or interest rates to be lower, because I only see them going one way and that's up. But shh, let's just keep that between us. All these factors are external forces that can hinder you. Yeah, keep that between us. All these factors are external forces that can hinder you. Yeah, but stop you, nah, they could only hope to contain you. And the real reality is, even if any of these external factors were to change. The dividends you will get from working on yourself far supersedes anything that these external factors could produce for you.

Think about it this way If you never learn to fish, then you can only eat when they offer you food. I don't know about you, but me personally. I like flexibility, because what if I want two fish and they're only offering one and I have company? Then I have to split my fish in two or I'll have to steal an extra fish. I definitely don't recommend the latter, but then you get my point. So I need the flexibility because I personally believe that nothing in this life is too good for you, so I want the best of everything. As jim rohan said, with wages you can make a living. With profits you can earn a fortune, and I love how a fortune sounds. So the best approach would be to figure out your talent and how you can add and bring value to the marketplace so you can earn profits, instead of settling for genius.
