Jim Rohn's The Ant Philosophy

Jim Rohn has a very powerful philosophy that he calls the ant philosophy. He says that ants have a four-part philosophy.

1. Ants don't quit...ever.

An ant doesn't worry about whether or not a task can be done or not. He just does it. He doesn't wonder if it's too tough. He just does it, until it's complete.

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 are always thinking, "We have to gather today, because we don't know what tomorrow will bring." Do they know something that we don't know? No. They just take action. Winter is coming so we need to gather. Are you gathering during the summer?

3. During the winter, ants think summer.

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.

Although we may not be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel sometimes, it's there. It might be just around the next corner. The sun will shine again. I promise.

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.

But sometimes we're surprised by an early snowstorm. Or a colder than normal winter. Don't be surprised, be prepared.

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