Some Great Words of Wisdom

My favorite philosopher is Jim Rohn
Currently, I'm reading his book called Leading an Inspired Life. Chapter 7 - The Road to Financial Independence has a section called Enriching Your Life.

Here are some excerpts, that I love, from that section:

• An enriching lifestyle is a matter of awareness, values, education, and disciplined taste. It is an art that brings joy as it is practiced; it's not just a subject to be studied. It is the deliberate decision to savor and enjoy all the experiences and possibilities of life. Having an enriching lifestyle means expanding your knowledge and experience with books, people, films, and new adventures. So appreciate everything and everyone with whom you come in contact. You can begin expanding your lifestyle today.
• All good things take effort, a conscious act from a unique thought.
• The key to happiness is not more. Happiness is an art to be studied and practiced. More money will only make you more of what you already are and send you more quickly to your destination. If you're inclined to be unhappy, you will be absolutely miserable if you get a lot of money. If you are mean, you will be a terror if you get a lot of money. If you are inclined to drink, you will be a drunk when you get a lot of money. More money will only make you more. But the good news is that more money will amplify your happiness if you are inclined to be happy.
• Style is not more. Style is an art, a genius, a design. Lifestyle is reserved for those who are willing to study and practice the higher arts of life. Lifestyle is culture, music, dance, art, sculpture, literature, plays, and concerts. Lifestyle is a taste of the fine, the better, the best. The philosopher Mortimer Adler once said that if we don't go for the finer tastes, we will settle for the mediocre ones. So develop an appreciation for the finer things in life. That is a worthy purpose - developing an appetite for the unique things in life. Remember, it's not the amount, it's the quality.

Why Jim Rohn is my favorite
How can I not love this book when he says things that help me to become a greater person?! He says so many great things that if I quoted all of them I'd repeat the entire 460 page book. I'm thankful that wise people take the time to say things that enhance my life.
