“Don’t ask to have an easier life, ask to become better and wiser at handling life’s challenges.”

0:00Top of the morning friends, happy Monday, 27th of April now. Let's get to this quote that came up. I was listening to this Jim Rohn podcast. You can find it on Spotify. I'm sure it's on other platforms. I don't know what the name of it is. It's like a compilation of his old talks. He's a self-help and personal development person from like the 1970s. Absolutely outstanding. There are people that talk about these things these days, but I still like how much like he's just, a machine gun of constant quotations and things that you can relate to, but a humor in there. Jim Rohn, he Tony Robbins. If you're at a Tony Robbins, Tony Robbins talks about Jim Rohn all the time. Apparently, Jim Rohn was Tony Robbins personal like self-developed in coach. And so one of the quotes that came up in the podcast I was listening to, so important. And I think, and I ended up having my fiancee listen to it too. This is somewhere I want you to listen to. I'll see if I can find a link somewhere. I'd really like you to listen to this. And in the first 30 minutes, one of the quotes that comes up is,

1:00don't ask for an easier life. Ask to become better. And he just rapid fires all these quotations where it's like, don't ask for, you know, a less stressful day. Ask for more knowledge and wisdom. Like, it's about, don't complain. Like, life isn't going to get better for you. You're going to, you look at two people, they're making a significant different amount of money in the day. They both have the same amount of time though. That's the one making more money doing. And he goes into this whole thing about, well, it's value. And you need to really have the self-awareness and to consider, you know, what value are you bringing into the day? Or are you producing in the day? That's worth more money. How are you going to, you see what I mean? When you go into a job, don't ask for more money. Ask for, to become better. Ask for development. Like, he was saying, like, a job should be developing you. If a job's not going to develop you and you're not going to make more money, then there's no positives there. It's a very interesting talk. And essentially, I just wanted you to think about this week.

2:01Okay, today, this week, whenever you listen to this, don't ask for an easier life, an easier day, an easier job. Ask to become better. What's, oh, another quote that he talks about in this podcast, he's like, if you want to become a millionaire, and if you were given a million dollars, if you're not a millionaire, you're just going to lose it all. Or if he said something like that. And it makes sense, right? If you're going to be a millionaire, you got to know how to save that million. If you're just going to spend it, that's not a million, you're not a millionaire anymore. So he said, like, if you're going to be given, if you want to become a millionaire, you got to kind of like act like a millionaire. You got to be a millionaire. So when you do earn that million dollars, you're not just going to go give it all away and get rid of it. You're not going to lose that money. That's because then you're not a millionaire anymore. You said, I mean, it's very simple. It's very like obvious. It's very kind of like a certain kind of humor, I guess, too. But it's true. It's facts. So again, this week, today, whenever you listen to this, think about how you can become better. Think about how you can utilize each day, each moment. Look at the day differently.

3:01Chate for a different perspective. Because your life probably isn't going to get easier. And you're probably not going to get more time. So think about how you can adjust and become better yourself with the time you have. You can become more efficient. You can get smart. You can study more. You can get better scores. You can make more money. You can work hard. You can get stronger and build more muscles. You've got to work on that muscle. And that's what this is. Let's work on that muscle this week. I love you guys. Have a good week. Head into work now. All right, guys. Take care.
