Personal development involves learning, growing, setting goals, planning, and making wise use of resources such as time and money. It involves self-mastery.

The purpose of this ezine, Ordinary People Can Win!, is to help you learn to how to develop yourself. Through what you learn in coming weeks, you will be able to make necessary changes to improve: • relationships • earnings • physical fitness • financial status • contentment and • happiness

Your talents, self-esteem, and potential will rise.

You have power to achieve your dreams. But they usually don't fall into your lap—they require honest effort and proactivity.

High achievers are not necessarily extraordinary people; they are usually ordinary people who take proactive, consistent action.

Areas of study Rohn also suggests some sections for your library:

• History • Philosophy • Biographies and autobiographies • Law • Fine literature • Accounting • Economics • Culture (Art, music, dance)

I would add following sections: • Spirituality • Business • Personal development

As we build our skills, seek balance in our learning, and build great libraries, we position ourselves for success in all areas of our lives: our personal lives, our family lives, our spiritual lives, our business lives, and our financial lives.

Balanced success through balanced learning.
