According to Jim Rohn, a leading personal development expert, most people don’t succeed because of neglect.

Does that mean that the secret of success then is the opposite of neglect? The thesaurus states the antonym of neglect is to care for or to look after. But this does clear things up to much. Perhaps looking to Jim Rohn’s wisdom will help us understand.

Jim Rohn succeeded at an early age, 31. While most of his friends struggled, Jim Rohn became a millionaire. He says that he took care of what others neglected. He further says that it was early for him to do.

While his friends neglected to listen to successful people, Jim Rohn looked after this asked of his life.

Jim took are of setting goals.

While his friends neglected to read books to improve their thinking, Jim Rohn took care of his mind and his positive thinking by filling his mind with the motivational words of the book he carefully chose.

There are enough opportunities, money, education, and jobs for everyone. There’s no shortage. Don’t blame you lack of success of some external factor. You know the old saying, “The buck stops here.” If you’re not achieving the kind of success that you want in your like, take ownership of it.

Don’t be like so many folks who neglect. Stop the neglect now. You’re more than mediocre.

Don’t neglect your life. Don’t neglect to surround yourself with worthwhile associates. Don’t neglect to set goals that ignite your passions and desires. Don’t neglect your attitude. Don’t neglect those around you.

Unfortunately, neglect brings us down. Just like a neglected house, the problems go beyond just the cosmetic.

Neglect actually affects us on a spiritual and mental level. We lose confidence in ourselves. Our attitudes turn negative. We let down the people we love most. We doubt we can succeed. We doubt our talents. We lose ourselves.

If you want to break the cycle of neglect in your life, you need to get in the habit of action. “Just do it,” like the old Nike ads admonished. Study the habits of successful people. Do what they do.

Start something now. Neglect no more. You have the chance to do something great with your life.
