Then, in a single morning, everything changed. I woke up feeling
depressed, as I had been for weeks, but this morning I
did something
different. I took a friend’s
advice and went on a run, to clear my head.
Now, make no mistake, I was
not a runner. In fact, running for the
sake of running was one of the only things I can honestly say that I
despised. However,
my good friend, Jon, told me that whenever he
was feeling stressed or overwhelmed, going for a run enabled him to
think more clearly,
lifted his spirits, and helped him come up with
solutions to his problems. I was desperate. I had nothing to lose. I was
going to go for a run.
So, that morning I laced up my Nike Air Jordan® basketball
shoes (I told you I wasn’t a runner), grabbed my iPod so I could listen
to something positive, and headed out the
front door of my soon-to-be
bank-owned home. I had no idea that, on that run, I would have one of
the most powerful,
profound, life-changing breakthroughs in my
entire life.
Listening to a personal development audio from Jim Rohn, he
said something that although I had heard before, I never really got it.
You know how sometimes you hear something over and over again
without
actually implementing it, but then one day it finally clicks for
you? It just takes you being in the right state of mind to really
get it?
Well, that morning I was in the right state of mind—a state of
desperation—and I got it. When I heard Jim proclaim with certainty,
“Your level of success, will rarely exceed your level of personal
development, because success is something you attract by the person
you become,
” I stopped in my tracks. This one philosophy was going
to change my entire life.
