Jim Rohn's The Ant Philosophy

Jim Rohn determined that ants live by a four-part philosophy. This philosophy can be a powerful tool in your life.
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.
When you block their ant line, they find a way around. They don't stop looking for a way around an obstacle, until they find it.
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.
You know...There's a pervasive philosophy in society that goes something like this, "Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die." Perhaps you've heard this philosophy before. You might even subscribe to this philosophy. You might want to look at the ants' philosophy.
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. Ants think summer all winter.
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.
The seasons follow predictable patterns. Fall follows summer. Winter follows Fall. Spring falls Winter. Summer follows Spring. We know what's coming next. It's never a surprise.
Be prepared for the early snowstorm. Make sure your reserves are filled to overflowing.
The Ant Philosophy summarized:
1. Keep at it. Don't give up. Don't quit.
2. Winter is coming. Prepare during the summer.
3. Think summer all winter.
4. Live by the all-you-possibly-can philosophy.
