Greatest Gift You Can Give Your Children?Journaling
Life | According
to Jim Rohn, the famous business philosopher and motivational speaker,
there are three things to leave your children.
Personal journaling
is one of those three.
Mr. Rohn
has kept a
journal for more than 40 years and takes it very serious when it comes
to journaling life.
Personal journaling
..." chronicles their own
personal story;
their family, their victories, their challenges, their GOALS and
DREAMS, their seminar and sermon notes, their own ideas and thoughts --
that they could review now and in the future -- and create one of the
more priceless collections for themselves and their families as the
years roll on". | Quick Links! | Journal

| "...More Valuable to Future
Generations Than Your Furniture"If you haven't
already, get a journal and start writing in it every day!
Use
your personal journaling time to record your daily, weekly and yearly
goals. Write in it about your children's birthday's, their
school activities and other special moments.
Keep
a journaling record of how you and your spouse interact with each other
and raise your
children. Preserve ideas and insights that you have each day.
Write down events of the day and about having lunch
with a friend.
Think,
ponder and dream often and use your journal to keep track
them.
Review your
journal often. "This process will literally change your life."
One
of the greatest points that Mr. Rohn has is that of not using your mind
as a "filing cabinet". You need to use your brain to think
and solve problems.
"The
best collecting place for all of the ideas and information that comes
your way is your journal."
From what I
read, he likes to write his journals by hand.
He justifies buying a somewhat expensive
leather-bound journal because it continually
motivates him to find valuable things to put in it.
I
conclude this with one more quote from Mr. Rohn...
"There are three things to
leave behind: your photographs,
your library
and your personal
journals. These things are certainly going to be more
valuable to
future generations than your furniture!"
I couldn't agree
more!
