If you would only recognize that life is hard, things would be so much easier for you.

“The things that are easy to do are also easy not to do.” – Jim Rohn
Who is Jim Rohn, and what did he actually do (besides being a motivational speaker)? Why is he a motivational speaker?
@PandoraBoxx
Why are you trying to invalidate the source? Some people just have charisma.
@SeventhSense I didn’t think Pandora was trying to do that… but I’ll shut up
No, I’m just curious. It’s a good saying, and I googled Jim Rohn to see what his story is. My experience with motivational speakers has not been people who are well known solely for being a motivational speaker; usually the person has a story to tell, whether it’s overcoming personal adversity, a rags-to-riches story, coaching, college professor, or espousing a particular idea or philosophy. I guess I look for the part of the person that makes them a trust agent; what gives them credibility.
My question was asked in all honesty, because I didn’t see anything that addressed that aspect of my personal criteria. I want to know if I’m missing something. That’s all. Charisma is a critical characteristic for motivational speakers, but it’s not substantive on it’s own merit.

But with the aforementioned quote I think the wisdom inherent within the phrase is meaningful whether he said it or Joe the plumber said it.

OK Janet the Florist..don’t read too much into things. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
@becoming me: Yes this is the one I was looking for. I love this quote. And thanks everyone else those are some other cool quotes too!
