[SELF HELP BOOK]

MY PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT THIS
BOOK
The story is SLOW-PACED, and at some moment it
bored me. Book is filled with many examples to
understand the meaning of life this story will definitely
leave an impact on the readers. This book encourages
you to live in the present instead of being a future
planner and do what makes you happy
Some quotes I liked from the book
• Find out what you truly love to do and direct all your
energy towards doing it
• Stay focused on your purpose. The universe will take
care of the rest
• The purpose of life is a life of purpose
LONG STORY SHORT….
The book is based on the teachings given by the monk to Julian.
The monk told Julian, the seven virtues of enlightened living
First:- MASTER YOUR MIND
Robin Sharma highlights that mistakes do not exist. Instead, these so-called
mistakes are merely lessons to learn from. He encourages readers to
reinforce their self-appreciation and self-respect. Gratitude for yourself and
the world that you live in will allow you to learn from every experience, as
you will be constantly using them as lessons.
Second:- FOLLOW YOUR PURPOSE
Sharma uses the analogy of a lighthouse to explain the
idea of following your purpose. A lighthouse aims to
show people the right direction. Similarly, we need to
choose the right path in our lives. However, you can
only find the right path if you know your destination.
Your destination is your purpose.
Third:- PRACTICE KAIZEN
Success begins within. You don’t attract what you want; you attract who you are. This mantra is worth
repeating and reflecting on many times. Enlightenment comes through the consistent cultivation of
your mind, body, and soul. Consistent cultivation means the development and optimization of your
mind. Robin Sharma believes the most effective technique for practicing Kaizen is doing the things
you fear. Consistently engaging with fearful activities will encourage the death of fear altogether.

Fourth:- THE POWER OF DISCIPLINE


Robin Sharma has a specific mantra he suggests you repeat at least thirty times a day
‘I am more than I appear to be, all the world’s strength and power rests inside me.’
On top of this, spend a long period or a full day in silence. If people around you ask direct
questions during this period of silence, you can answer them. You should use this time as an
opportunity to increase control over your body.
Fifth:- RESPECT YOUR TIME
Time slips through our hands like grains of sand, never to return again. Those who
use time wisely from an early age are rewarded with rich, productive and
satisfying lives.
Sixth:- SELFLESSLY SERVE OTHERS
There is always a little fragrance remaining in the hand of those who give flowers to
others. The satisfaction of helping others is priceless
showing kindness to others will bring you happiness. However, you must also show
gratitude for this happiness to encourage future happiness.
Seventh:- EMBRACE THE PRESENT
Push yourself to do more and to experience more. Harness your energy to start expanding your
dreams. Yes, expand your dreams. Don’t accept a life of mediocrity when you hold such infinite
potential within the fortress of your mind. Dare to tap into your greatness.
