Jim Rohn Quotes

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.

The only thing over which you have complete right of control at all times is your mental attitude.

Life is a refining process. Our response to it determines whether we'll be ground down or polished up. On a piano, one person sits down and plays sonatas, while another merely bangs away at "Chopsticks." The piano is not responsible. It's how you touch the keys that makes the difference. It's how you play what life gives you that determines your joy and shine.

Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.

It's not the situation... It's your reaction to the situation.

Strength of character does not consist solely in having powerful feelings, but in maintaining one’s balance in spite of them

I can only control what I can control at the end of the day, so some things you just can't allow to take your head the other way, some things happen for a reason.

In living life at 90 percent, the formula is life is 10 percent of what happens to you and 90 percent of how you react to it.

I've got a lot better at dropping emotions if something goes wrong, or right.

I have never been offended. I don't know what it means. It's not that I disagree with it. I don't understand it. I've never had that feeling. I don't let feelings control my life. I'm more disciplined than other people.

Your own mental attitude is your real boss.

Happiness is not so much a feeling as it is an attitude

You can't change a negative situation with bad feelings. If you keep reacting negatively, your bad feelings will magnify and multiply the negativity.

Positive mental attitude is determined by you. Not others.

Your mental attitude is your motivation and your inspiration.

I only allow that which is good into my life. No one can depress you. No one can make you anxious. No one can hurt your feelings. No one can make you anything.....other than what you allow!

Our attitudes cannot stop our feelings, but they can keep our feelings from stopping us.

Don Juan assured me that in order to accomplish the feat of making myself miserable I had to work in the most intense fashion, and that it was absurd. I had now realized I could work just the same in making myself complete and strong. "The trick is in what one emphasizes," he said. "We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same."

We are in charge of our attitudes.

It isn't what happens to us in life that creates our joy, but rather how we respond to what happens in our lives.

Some people say that in stressful situations I can seem unflappable, and I think that's partly because I'm always kind of internally flapped.

I don't think I get angry.

I react emotionally to everything!

We cannot control what emotions or circumstances we will experience next, but we can choose how we will respond to them.

That was just my own personal program: I didn't want to get too high over the good moments because I didn't want to be saddened and depressed when things didn't go as I had planned.
