The title of the chapter itself was so interesting and excited that anyone will resist
himself hard to not read.
“Son, when you were born, you cried while the world rejoiced. Live your life
such in a way that when you die the world cries while you rejoice.” These are
the first few lines I learned from the chapter 1 st itself.
“We believe that in order to live a truly fulfiling life we must achieve
some great act or grand feat that will put us on the front covers of the
megazines and newspapers. But a meaningful life is made up of a series
of daily acts of decency and kindness, which, ironically, add up to
something truly great over the course of a lifetime.”
“If you make even one person smile during your day or brighten the
mood of any stranger, your day has been a worthwhile once.” These are
the lessons I found very touchy and got thrilled after reading it.
“TOUGH LOVE…: Because getting tough with yourself is actually a very
loving gesture. By being stricter with yourself, you will begin to live life
more deliberately, on your terms and conditions rather then simply
reacting to life the way a leaf floating in a stream drifts according to the
flow of the current on a particular day.”
“Making a daily journal is one of the best personal habits you can
develop. It will develop self-awareness and make fewer mistakes.”
“Saying things we don’t mean becomes a habit when we practice It long
enough. The real problem is that when you don’t keep your words, you loose
credibility. When you loose credibility we loose the bonds of trust and
ultimately leads to breaking strings of relations.
“Every second you dwell on the past you steal from your future. Every minute
you spend focusing on your problems you take away from finding your
solutions. And thinking about all those things that you wish never happened
to you is actually blocking all the things you want to happen to entering in
your life.”
“The Platinum 30-First thirty minutes of your day are truly most valuable
moments of your day and have a profound effect on the quality of every
minute of your day, so during this time you can think only the purest thoughts
and finest of the actions and can make your day marvelous.”
To be clear about your life’s objectives, learn to say NO gracefully.
“Too many people are spending the best years of their lives stuck in
a state of constant worry. They worry about their jobs, their kids and
their environment and yet we know deep in our heart that MOST OF
THE THINGS WE WORRY ABOUT NEVER EVER HAPPEN. So, one of the
simple habits I learned to conquer the worry habit was to schedule
specific times to worry what I now call “worry breaks”.
“We learn the most form our most difficult experiences in life, but I
often wonder why we, as human beings, spend so much of our lives
focusing on the negative aspects of our most difficult experiences
rather than seeing them for what they truly are: our greatest
teachers”… The lined that took away my heart and it developed a new
approach to life.
It taught me that it takes about 21 days to develop a new habit. Yet most
people give up on creating a positive life change after only the first few
days when they experience the stress and pain that is always associated
with replacing old behaviors with new ones.
New habits are much like a new pair of shoes: for the first few days, they will feel
uncomfortable. But if you break them in for about three weeks, they will fit a second
skin.
The line “I wept because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had
no feet.” captured my sight and heart both at the same time.
It is so easy to magnify our problems and lose sight of the many
blessings we all have to be so very grateful for. Giving the gift of your
time by volunteering to serve those who have less than you is an excellent
way to remind yourself on a regular basis of the abundance that exists in
your life.
“Seeing what others don’t have keeps me awake to all the good
things I do have. It prevents me from taking things for granted
and, even more importantly, helps me make a difference in the
lives of people who really need me.”
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST…
“LIVE FULLY SO YOU CAN DIE
HAPPY”
Most people don’t discover what life is all about until just before they die.
While we are young, we spend our days striving and keeping up with social
expectations.
We are so busy chasing life’s big pleasures that we miss out on the little ones,
like dancing barefoot in a park on a rainy day with our kids or planting a rose
garden or watching the sun come up. We live in an age where we have
conquered the highest of mountains but have yet to master our selves.
We have taller buildings but shorter tempers, more possessions but less
happiness, fuller minds but emptier lives.
Do not wait until you are on your deathbed to realize the meaning of life and
the precious role you have to play within it. All too often, people attempt
to live their lives backwards: they spend their days striving to get
the things that will make them happy rather than having the
wisdom to realize that happiness is not a place you reach but a
state you create.
As this is the last of the life lessons I learned from this book, I wish
you all of us great life filled with wisdom, happiness and fulfillment.
May our days be spent in work that is engaging, on pursuits that are
inspiriting and with people who are loving.
