The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle: Jim Rohn's Complete Blueprint
Philosophy, attitude, activity, results, lifestyle. Rohn's slim book puts the whole of personal development in one sequence — and the order matters.
Most people try to fix their results. Jim Rohn says results are piece four. You can't skip to it.
Jim Rohn spent five decades telling audiences the same thing in a hundred different ways: your life doesn't change when your circumstances change. It changes when you change. The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle is that message reduced to a sequence you can actually work through.
Piece one is philosophy — what you know and how you think. Rohn called it the set of ideas that decide how you respond to what happens to you. Every result you get starts as a choice, and every choice comes from what you believe is true.
Piece two is attitude — how you feel about what you know. Two people can hold the same information and act completely differently, because one is curious and the other resentful. Rohn argued attitude is how you turn knowledge into energy.
Piece three is activity — what you do with what you know and feel. 'Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.' Philosophy and attitude are worthless until they reach a calendar.
