The Passing of a Legend: Jim Rohn (1930-2009)

by Ry@SpillingBuckets on December 5, 2009

I learned tonight that Jim Rohn has died after an 18 month battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Since finding his material a few years back, Rohn has affected almost every area of my life in one way or another – my philosophy, my perspective, my outlook – in the least sense he taught me to constantly record, evaluate, and improve, in the greatest sense he helped me to completely tear up one life plan and create another. Yes, some things are sensationalized or common sense, but for some clueless yokel like me, his ability to wordsmith and craft life changing ideas can be rivaled by none.

I often get stuck, fall into ruts, and more often than not seem to be pulling myself out of something rather than traveling toward somewhere, but with his introductions I’ve begun to develop the sense to distinguish between the two and a set of questions to keep me challenging my path.

If you sometimes find yourself stuck or are not sure what direction to take or what the purpose behind something is, I would suggest reading a few of his quotes (you will see many at the top of our site) or checking out some of his materials.

Loved the man and his teachings!! He has forever changed my thinking and life. Thank God, he has left his teachings behind for many more generations to enjoy. Thanks to my mentor and friend, Priscilla Harrison, for passing is teachings on to me. I am forever in her debt. I too was like Jim. I didn't know and didn't have a
plan.
