New Weekly Inspirers! Week 1, Jim Rohn

For the next weeks, I will be picking every week 5 quotes from someone who has been a great inpiration for me. To start with, this week is Jim Rohn’s week, whom I consider a great teacher. His words are full of wisdom yet very pragmatic. I have watched many of his videos and listened to many of his events and found his speeches and words profound, powerful and very touching. Here is the first quote:

“Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.” Jim Rohn

AL Inspiring Quote on Self Growth

Give First, In Order To Receive!

 

AL Inspiring Quote on Giving 3

“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” John F. Kennedy

I love this quote. Although it talks about citizens and their country, it applies to all areas of life: from relationship to work to wealth to happiness. I love this quote because it summarizes the whole idea of giving first; of being of service first; of planting the seeds first. But isn’t true that we tend to do the opposite? We want to receive first, we want to be taken care of first, we want to be loved first, we want to reap first? The interesting thing is, when we serve first, when we love first, when we give first, the whole life flows in a completely different way.
