I just finished reading a book entitled, 'The Monk who Sold His Ferrari' by Robin Sharma and would like to share some food for thought with you ka.
Like what my friend said, this is a 'how to' book, helping us to assess our inner selves to determine the meaning of happy existence. As I went through it, I kept thinking of Buddha's teaching ka. After all, Thais are so fortunate to have the Buddha's paths and to see our Nailuang follow suit, leaving to us to be strong and serious to walk along.
Keywords are discipline, giving, life priority, optimism, time, energy, kaizen, living in the present.
Some statements I like are:
'Magic Rule of 21' is the number of days it will take for new behavior to crystalize into a habit.
Pressure can inspire you to achieve great ends.
Get still and focused. Then ask yourself this question: 'What would I do today if today was my last?' (something Steve Jobs held tight to his heart too!)
.....all highly developed, fully actualized people understand the importance of exploring their talents, uncovering their personal purpose and then applying their human gifts in the direction of this calling.
Fear is a conditioned response.....consume your energy, creativity, and spirit if you aren't careful. Do the things you fear!
Most people don't think (and use) they have willpower. They blame everyone and everything except themselves for this weakness.
....the Mantra to repeat at least 30 times a day: 'I'm more than I appear to be, all the world's strength and power rests inside me.'
When you control your thought, you control your mind. When you control your mind, you control your life. ....in total control of your life, you become the master of your destiny.
Friends add humor, fascination, and beauty to life......keep you humble when you get too self-righteous...make you smile when you are taking yourself too seriously. Good friends are there to help you when life throws one of its little curves at you and things look worse than they seem.
Cheers.
