Work Harder on Yourself Than You Do Your Job
Here's a great short from Jim Rohn talking about working harder on yourself than you do your job. When I first came across this quote it took me a while to completely understand and apply it to myself. I realized that my job consists primarily of me clocking in and earning money from my time. Essentially, the money I earn is "stored time." It doesn't matter how much harder I work or how much energy I expend, the amount of money I earn is the same. I also knew that there is no growth to earn more because my coworkers have been there 10+ years and make the same amount as I do. Although this job allows me to make a living, I am not living my life to the fullest. Once I started applying this concept to my life, everything changed for me. I'm now working hard on my own business, my health, my mindset, disciplines, relationships, finances, continuing education, and various skills. Now I feel more fulfilled and on the right track to becoming the best version of myself. Now it feels as if I am continuing to grow in all aspects of life and am enjoying the journey. What do you guys think of this quote, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
