It was a sad weekend for our industry
as we learned of the death of our old
friend and mentor Jim Rohn.
Jim has been referred to as the world’s
foremost business philosopher because his
wisdom was so profound, yet so SIMPLE.
I saw Jim the very first time here in
Rhode Island in 1993.
He was the son of a simple farmer which is
probably why he so valued the lessons in
the seasons of life.
Jim also believed in Miracles.
Actually, Jim believed that everyone has
a part to play in every Miracle.
He would tell this story of “The Garden”.
One fine day a young man was walking past a
garden.
It was ill attended and overgrown with weeds.
The young man undertook the care of the garden
and over time as he tended it, it grew and flourished.
One day, a passerby saw the garden and commented…
What a beautiful garden God has created.
The young man, a little puzzled and dis-jointed by
the remark, thought…
Yes, indeed, if not for God’s Miracle of the seeds,
the sun and the rain, the garden would not grow.
However, the young man pointed out…
You should have seen this place when God was taking
care of it by himself :-)
Jim’s humor was his hallmark, second only to his
profound storytelling.
His message was quite SIMPLE.
Miracles are a Team Sport.
They are NOT accomplished alone.
There is a part for YOU in every Miracle.
Jim is gone, but I think God is Smiling.
Jim took what God gave him and he created Miracles
all over the world.
RIP Jim, your BEST work is just beginning.
We Love YOU for being Our Miracle.
