Ron White's Homepage

Welcome!

Here is something that you may not believe - and I find it hard to believe and I lived it!

But, from the age of about 20 to 30 - I didn't lock my door! I didn't lock it at all. The only time you would find my front door locked is if I went out of town or went to sleep. But most of the time, my door was unlocked if I was there or not. Now I didn't live in some small country town. I lived in the heart of Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and Seattle during these ten years.

My friends displayed their shock at my unlocked door when we arrived at my place I would say, 'Hey if they think its locked - it is locked!' My theory back then was, if someone thought I wasn't home they would assume that my door was locked and so it was as good as locked. Furthermore, if they did walk up to the door and twist the knob they would naturally assume I was home - because what kind of person leaves their door unlocked if they are not home!

For ten years, anyone could have walked in my home and left with a stereo and television. I am sure some criminals were in my neighborhood during those years. But like my theory says, 'If they think its locked...its locked.'

When I hit 30, it was as if the hand of reality slapped me across the face and I have never left my door unlocked, even for a 2 minute trip to the convenience store, ever since. With that said, the old theory of, 'If they think its locked...its locked' still applies to many things in life.

If you believe that you can't achieve your financial goals in your innermost being - then you have locked a door mentally that really isn't locked.

If you believe that you can't have the type of relationships that you want - then you have locked a door mentally that really isn't locked.

If you believe that you can't obtain your desires - then you have locked a door mentally that isn't really locked.

Many stare at the door of life and hang their head because they are sure that it is locked when in reality they haven't even twisted the knob! If they did they might get a pleasant surprise.

If you chose to mentally lock a door - your reality will be that the door is locked regardless of the truth.

I got news for you...the door isn't locked - walk up to the door and twist the knob - go for it!

(My front door is locked now though - so stay away)

1. We Will See What Happens by Ron White

A few years ago, my sister and I were the first ones down the tunnel to board our flight for Norfolk, Virginia. Just as we were about to board the plane – a mechanic emerged from inside the aircraft and blocked the door with his arms. He turned to the flight attended and hurriedly stated, 'We got problems!'

I thought to myself, "Why did I have to be the one to hear that? Why couldn't I have been at the back of the line? I didn't need to know that!" Very soon, we were back in the terminal waiting and then ultimately back on the plane. I attempted to put my secret knowledge out of my head and waited for the pilot to give us an explanation. Pilots take courses to ease passenger's minds, right? They know what to say to calm nerves…

Unfortunately, I don't think this pilot took that course. Soon his voice boomed throughout the plane, "Sorry for that delay ladies and gentlemen. We had to power on the plane. But, we have a generator on the ground right now and we are going to jumpstart the engines. Once we get them going, we will get up in the air and head to Norfolk and see what happens."

Click.

That was it. That was all he said. See what happens? We are going to get up in the air and see what happens? Couldn't we have just a little better plan than that worked out?

At this point all I could do was nervously laugh. One woman started yelling, "Oh no! We are going to crash!" There were sighs of desperation and nervous laughter spreading throughout the cabin like a tidal wave (And we hadn't even taken off yet). Thirty minutes passed and we were still sitting there – then came the voice of death (I mean, the pilot) over the intercom again, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are frustrated – so are we – we know you are hot, we only have one engine going right now and it is working double time."

Click.

There were moans as it seemed we had all boarded the vessel of doom. It seemed that without question we were all seated in an aluminum casket seat buckled next to strangers. After all, the pilot said he was frustrated. He told us our one engine was working double time and his elaborate plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and what happened? Nothing - other than thrust and lift. We arrived in Norfolk and no sooner had the wheels touched the tarmac a round of applause burst out and as everyone simultaneously exhaled throughout the airplane.

Although, I do sincerely like to have a better plan than 'see what happens' worked out when flying – it really isn't such a bad life strategy. All too often, I will watch people chase their goals and are frozen with inaction because they don't have all the necessary pieces or guaranteed results. When in reality – they will never have all the pieces. Success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is just get up in the air and see what happens. Adjustments can be made in the air or should I say in the middle of the process.

If your effort is to build a business then listen closely, "Get up in the air and see what happens!" Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can't. Do not wait until you have everything you need – you never will!

If your mission is to start a friendship, say "hello", get up in the air and see what happens! Don't stress over what you will talk about – wing it with mid air adjustments. The results could be enormous. Do not allow yourself to stay on the runway because you feel the flight is doomed. The only doomed flight of friendship is the one that stays on the runway.

If your goal is to learn a new skill, "Get up in the air and see what happens!" It might not be as challenging as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought. It could be fun!

When traveling, I hope that my pilot has a more detailed plan than, "We will see what happens." Although in life it isn't such a bad strategy.

3. The Time to Act by Jim Rohn

Engaging in genuine discipline requires that you develop the ability to take action. You don't need to be hasty if it isn't required, but you don't want to lose much time either. Here's the time to act: when the idea is hot and the emotion is strong.

Let's say you would like to build your library. If that is a strong desire for you, what you've got to do is get the first book. Then get the second book. Take action as soon as possible, before the feeling passes and before the idea dims. If you don't, here's what happens -

- YOU FALL PREY TO THE LAW OF DIMINISHING INTENT -

We intend to take action when the idea strikes us. We intend to do something when the emotion is high. But if we don't translate that intention into action fairly soon, the urgency starts to diminish. A month from now the passion is cold. A year from now it can't be found.

So take action. Set up a discipline when the emotions are high and the idea is strong, clear, and powerful. If somebody talks about good health and you're motivated by it, you need to get a book on nutrition. Get the book before the idea passes, before the emotion gets cold. Begin the process. Fall on the floor and do some push-ups. You've got to take action; otherwise the wisdom is wasted. The emotion soon passes unless you apply it to a disciplined activity. Discipline enables you to capture the emotion and the wisdom and translate them into action. The key is to increase your motivation by quickly setting up the disciplines. By doing so, you've started a whole new life process.

Here is the greatest value of discipline: self-worth, also known as self-esteem. Many people who are teaching self-esteem these days don't connect it to discipline. But once we sense the least lack of discipline within ourselves, it starts to erode our psyche. One of the greatest temptations is to just ease up a little bit. Instead of doing your best, you allow yourself to do just a little less than your best. Sure enough, you've started in the slightest way to decrease your sense of self-worth.

There is a problem with even a little bit of neglect. Neglect starts as an infection. If you don't take care of it, it becomes a disease. And one neglect leads to another. Worst of all, when neglect starts, it diminishes our self-worth.

Once this has happened, how can you regain your self-respect? All you have to do is act now! Start with the smallest discipline that corresponds to your own philosophy. Make the commitment: "I will discipline myself to achieve my goals so that in the years ahead I can celebrate my successes."

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
