The Ants' Four-Part 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.

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.

Ants follow what's called the "ant trail." They don't get lost as long as they follow the line. But sometimes, something obstructs their progress. The ant doesn't dismay at the lost trail. Instead, the ants look around until they find the trail again. Powerful stuff.

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.

You know...There's a pervasive philosophy in society that goes something like this, "Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die." Perhaps you've heard this philosophy before. You might even subscribe to this philosophy. You might want to look at the ants' philosophy.

Ants always remember that winter's coming. A day doesn't go by that they're not preparing. Do you prepare a little everyday?

3. During the winter, ants think summer.

Ants are thinking, "This too shall pass." They know that eventually the summer will come again. Winter never lasts forever.

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.

The seasons follow the same order. Always. Don't be surprised that winter follows fall. It's always the same.

Be prepared for the early snowstorm. Make sure your reserves are filled to overflowing.

So remember the ant philosophy...

1. Keep at it. Don't give up. Don't quit.

2. Winter is coming. Prepare during the summer.

3. Summer is coming. Look forward to it.

4. Gather all-you-possibly-can.
