The Ant Philosophy

Leave it to Jim Rohn, motivational speaker extraordinaire, to notice the Ant Philosophy. This is a powerful motivational philosophy that you can start using in your life immediately.

1. Ants never quit.

Ants are not encumbered about how they're going to do something. They just do it. They have a singular focus. Gather food. That's it. And they don't quit until they've got it.

What about when you disrupt their ant line? The ants will search and search until they relocate the scent.

Sometimes things are going great in life. We have a strong lock on the right path in our lives, when something comes up. Something changes. We can't find the line. When this happens, don't give up. Look around. The trails can't be far. Don't quit until you find it.

2. During the summer, ants think winter.

They have to think this way in order to survive. It's easy to think that winter is far away. We don't need to gather today, because we'll have time tomorrow, or the next day. Don't buy into this way of thinking.

Ants always remember that winter's coming. A day doesn't go by that they're not preparing. Do you prepare a little everyday?

3. During the winter, ants think summer.

I live in Minnesota. Sometimes it seems that summer won't be coming this year. But it always does. Ants know this. Winter never lasts forever.

The same is true in our lives. Our lows will pass. We'll feel the warm on our faces again. The plenty will come again. Even the Ice Age eventually ended.

4. Ants think, "Gather all we can now." Jim Rohn calls this the all-they-possibly-can philosophy.

Summer always follows spring and winter, right? Always. We're not surprised when the leaves change colors at the end of summer. This is the natural order of things.

Be prepared for the early snowstorm. Make sure your reserves are filled to overflowing.

So remember the ant philosophy...

1. Keep at it. Don't give up. Don't quit.

2. Think winter all summer.

3. Summer is coming. Look forward to it.

4. Remember to do all-you-possibly-can.
