_ROBIN S. SHARMA


THE 7 TIMELESS VIRTUES OF ENLIGHTENED LIVING

1. THE MAGNIFICENT GARDEN – MASTER YOUR MIND

2. THE TOWERING LIGHTHOUSE – FOLLOW YOUR PURPOSE

3. THE SUMO WRESTLER – PRACTICE KAIZEN

4. THE PINK WIRE CABLE – LIVE WITH DISCIPLINE

5. THE GOLD STOPWATCH – RESPECT YOUR TIME

6. THE FRAGRANT ROSES – SELFLESSLY SERVE OTHERS

7. THE PATH OF DIAMONDS – EMBRACE THE PRESENT


1. Master Your Mind


CULTIVATE YOUR MIND - IT WILL BLOSSOM BEYOND YOUR EXPECTATIONS

THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE IS DETERMINED BY THE QUALITY OF YOUR THOUGHTS

THERE ARE NO MISTAKES - ONLY LESSONS. SEE SETBACKS AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONAL EXPANSION AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH.


2. Follow Your Purpose


THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS A LIFE OF PURPOSE

DISCOVERING AND THEN REALIZING YOUR LIFEWORK BRINGS LASTING FULFILLMENT

SET CLEARLY DEFINED PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL AND SPIRITUAL GOALS, AND THEN HAVE THE COURAGE TO ACT ON THEM

3. Practice Kaizen (CONSTANT AND NEVER-ENDING IMPROVEMENT)


SELF-MASTERY IS THE DNA OF LIFE MASTERY

SUCCESS ON THE OUTSIDE BEGINS WITHIN

ENLIGHTENMENT COMES THROUGH THE CONSISTENT CULTIVATION OF YOUR MIND, BODY, AND SOUL


4.Live with Discipline


DISCIPLINE IS BUILT BY CONSISTENTLY PERFORMING SMALL ACTS OF COURAGE

THE MORE YOU NURTURE THE EMBRYO OF SELF-DISCIPLINE, THE MORE IT WILL MATURE

WILLPOWER IS THE ESSENTIAL VIRTUE OF A FULLY ACTUALIZED LIFE


5. Respect Your Time


TIME IS YOUR MOST PRECIOUS COMMODITY AND IT IS NON-RENEWABLE

FOCUS ON YOUR PRIORITIES AND MAINTAIN BALANCE

SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE


6. Selflessly Serve Others


THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE ULTIMATELY COMES DOWN TO THE QUALITY OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION

TO CULTIVATE THE SACREDNESS OF EACH DAY, LIVE TO GIVE

BY ELEVATING THE LIVES OF OTHERS, YOUR LIFE REACHES ITS HIGHEST DIMENSIONS


7. Embrace the Present


LIVE IN THE "NOW".SAVOR THE GIFT OF THE PRESENT

NEVER SACRIFICE HAPPINESS FOR ACHIEVEMENT

SAVOR THE JOURNEY AND LIVE EACH DAY AS YOUR LAST

Bonus:- 


GREAT DREAMERS' DREAMS ARE NEVER FULFILLED, THEY ARE ALWAYS TRANSCENDED.
_ALFRED LORD WHITEHEAD



I AM AN ARTIST AT LIVING — MY WORK OF ART IS MY LIFE.
_SUZUKI


MOST PEOPLE LIVE—WHETHER PHYSICALLY, INTELLECTUALLY OR MORALLY—IN A VERY RESTRICTED CIRCLE OF THEIR POTENTIAL BEING. WE ALL HAVE RESERVOIRS OF LIFE TO DRAW UPON OF WHICH WE DO NOT DREAM.
_WILLIAM JAMES



TRUST YOURSELF. CREATE THE KIND OF LIFE YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO LIVE WITH ALL YOUR LIFE. MAKE THE MOST OF YOURSELF BY FANNING THE TINY, INNER SPARKS OF POSSIBILITY INTO THE FLAMES OF ACHIEVEMENT.
_FOSTER C. MCCLELLAN


GOOD PEOPLE STRENGTHEN THEMSELVES CEASELESSLY.
_CONFUCIUS


SURE I AM THAT THIS DAY WE ARE MASTERS OF OUR FATE, THAT THE TASK WHICH HAS BEEN SET BEFORE US IS NOT ABOVE OUR STRENGTHS; THAT ITS PANGS AND TOILS ARE NOT BEYOND MY ENDURANCE. AS LONG AS WE HAVE FAITH IN OUR OWN CAUSE AND AN UNCONQUERABLE WILL TO WIN, VICTORY WILL NOT BE DENIED US.
_WINSTON CHURCHILL


WELL ARRANGED TIME IS THE SUREST MARK OF A WELL-ARRANGED MIND.
_SIR ISAAC PITMAN


EVERYTHING THAT LIVES, LIVES NOT ALONE, NOT FOR ITSELF
_WILLIAM BLAKE


WHEN I ADMIRE THE WONDER OF A SUNSET OR THE BEAUTY OF THE MOON, MY SOUL EXPANDS IN WORSHIP OF THE CREATOR.
_MAHATMA GANDHI

Why Monday? Firstly, you may want to know, why Monday holds so much importance? Monday is globally considered as the start of a new work week or as the first day of the work week.

First Step

First Step... Do you remember your first step? Whenever you tried to walk you would have fallen, and your parents used to encourage you to stand up and try again. After failing 999 times, you took your first step. Now we grew up and started running but when we fall we start accepting defeat without trying. Ever wondered why this happened to us? The only reason is that we tried 999 times. To reach your destination just need to take one more step like your 1st step. --------------------- Ones upon a time A stone artist was trying to break the stone with his hammer. He tried 500 times the stone did not break He tried 700 times the stone did not break He tried 999 times the stone did not break As soon as he struck the stone with a hammer 1000 times, a man entered his workshop and the stone broke.

Whenever you say, I’ll try to reach my goal, I’ll try to complete this job/work I’ll try to fulfill my dreams. Believe me, It simply means that you are not confident and 90% possibilities of failure. Have you ever seen any lion trying to hunt? If you think that the lion is trying to hunt, then you are wrong. The lion either hunt or he can't.   If the lion thinks that I try to hunt, then he can't hunt. The lion first comes out of from comfort zone (Den) to hunt, after that he finds his prey. When he sees his prey, he decides that I have to hunt. After this, he inspects the victim and thinks how much time he takes to hunt. He also thinks about which way he will hunt. And in the end, when the right time comes, H e does not try, he hunts. ------- Perhaps you have now understood from this small story that it is necessary to get out of the house (Comfort zone) first. Then think about your dreams/goals. Think of which path...
