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 don’t worry about the details. They just do. Their job is to gather food. That’s all they do, and they’re very good at it. They don’t quit and never waver and obstacles are just a leverage to its destination. 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. Don’t ever quit. If you lose your way, keep looking until you pick up the scent again
2. During the summer, ants think winter.
Why do they think winter? Because during the winter, they won’t be able to gather food. The summer’s all the time they have. Sometimes we spend too much time enjoying the summer that we don’t prepare for the inevitable winter. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t enjoy the summer. You should. But always remember, winter is coming.
The ants think more on the lines of “gather, gather, gather for tomorrow we die.” They know the winter is coming. They prepare while everything is going well, while the weather is beautiful. When winter comes it is too late.
3. Ants are thinking summer all winter.
They’re no different than you or me. They like to be outside. They get cabin fever. But ants know that winter never lasts forever. At least it hasn’t yet. Of course, some winters are longer than others. But summer always comes. They sun will warm once again. Look forward to the day.
4. During the summer, ants gather all they can. Jim Rohn has named this the all-they-possibly-can philosophy. Makes sense?
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.
To summarize the ant philosophy:
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. Gather all-you-possibly-can.
