Introduction
According to the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim, and the end of human existence.” Happiness is a very broad term that describes the experience of joy, contentment, satisfaction, etc. Happiness cannot be achieved in the absence of good health as well. Jim Rohn explained 7 strategies for Health and Happiness in his very famous book of the same name.
7 Strategies for Health and Happiness by Jim Rohn
1. Unlock the Power of GoalsOur Goals and dreams play a major guiding role in our life as these are the most powerful motivators. When we have a clear-cut vision of our goals then we unlock our latent potential. But if we go after others for their approval then our lives become just like a hell as seeking approval from others will only result in stress and worry.

2. Seek Knowledge and Wisdom
Ashneer Grover in his very famous book “Doglapan” explained how he observed the exceptional education system of France. University students in France always keep multicolor pens with them. They write whatever the professor says in one particular color and write whatever the professor jots down on the board in different colors. After class, they go the extra mile and write their own thoughts in yet another color. This system helps them to seek knowledge in a very innovative way. Jim Rohn also said that we must know what is required to be learned for self-development and then actively search for the knowledge in a purposeful and meaningful manner. We must capture valuable insights in a very interactive way, just like French students so that these ideas remain in our memory for a longer time.

3. Learn to Develop Yourself
Our income, results, and responsibilities cannot outgrow our skillsets and current abilities. To have more fortune, we must be more first. People are not paid for their time, but they are paid for their value addition. Hence, we must learn to develop ourselves before asking for more fortune. Just take 1 small step at a particular time and evolve through consistent efforts.
4. Manage your Finances
Financial independence is not a quantum of money that an individual has but it is all about the allocation of money. Everyone must deploy her money to increase passive income. Jim Rohn explained the 70/30 Rule to manage our post-tax finances. This rule is as follows: 70% for necessities or luxury, 10% for wealth creation, 10% for charity, and 10% for savings.
5. Master your Time
I realized an amazing fact 1 decade ago, it was that billionaire like Jeff Bezos, Mukesh Ambani, and Mark Zuckerberg have the same amount of time each day. They also have a 24-hour day just like all of us and hence we also have the opportunity to succeed in life. We must not slog through a 9-5 mentality and remain busy for the sake of killing time, but we must plan each day very meticulously.
6. Surround Yourself with Successful People
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with,” said entrepreneur Jim Rohn. Our association influences our thoughts, behavior, and belief system which in turn determines our success and income. If your friend believes in cutting corners to achieve the end result then you will also start such behavior unconsciously. Let’s make a conscious effort to dissociate from people with a negative mentality and start expanding associations with positive people.
7. Live a Rich Life
Many people relate Rich life to the amount of money in their bank accounts but living a rich life is more than that. It's all about living our lives at full potential, making fulfilling relationships, and experiencing life from the correct perspective. Jim Rohn guided his mentees to enjoy what they already have and strive for their targets for a better future.
