According to Jim Rohn, a leading personal development expert, most people don't succeed because of neglect.

In order to succeed, then, we need to do the opposite of neglect. What's that? The thesaurus indicates that the opposite, or antonym, of neglect is to look after or to care for. In other words, we need to look after the things that we have neglected.

Not many folks, percentage-wise, in the world can claim to be millionaires. Jim Rohn was a millionaire at the young age of 31. While other neglected to work at the things that would make them successful, Rohn took care of those things.

While his friends neglected to listen to successful people, Jim Rohn looked after this asked of his life.

While his friends neglected to set goals, Jim Rohn carefully cultivated his goals.

While his friends neglected to read books to improve their thinking, Jim Rohn took care of his mind and his positive thinking by filling his mind with the motivational words of the book he carefully chose.

Do we have enough opportunities? Yes. Is there enough money for everybody to get their piece? Yes. Can everyone get an education? Yes. Are there enough jobs? Yes. Is there something out there that you would be good at? Of course.

So why do we fail? Why do we live mediocre lives? Because we neglect.

We neglect to live our lives. We neglect to surround ourselves with people who will help us succeed. We neglect to set meaningful goals and then to strive to achieve them. We neglect to work on our attitudes. We neglect...

The problem with neglect is that it affects us, well, negatively. We suffer. Not usually in a physical way, but maybe, if you neglect to exercise and eat right.

Your self-confidence will wane. Your faith in yourself and others will diminish. Where you once were positive and full of dreams and hope, you will have become negative, pessimistic, and cynical.

If you want to break the cycle of neglect in your life, you need to get in the habit of action. "Just do it," like the old Nike ads admonished. Study the habits of successful people. Do what they do.

When you do something, anything, you will rid yourself of neglect.
