Do you want ferrari? I want one. May be that means this book is for you and me!

Because Julian Mantle, the fictional, seven-figure-making lawyer this story is about, had one. And he was unhappy. So he sold it.

It’s just like if you became the king of the earth, you will still not feel complete and you will have a desire for achieving stars

He needed wisdom. So after he collapsed from all the stress with a heart attack, he sold everything and ventured into the Himalayan mountains. There, he found the Sages of Sivana, which taught him seven virtues, making him promise he’d pass on their teachings.

and there are some great life changing lesson he got from Julian, over 6 million people have picked his lesson and I would like to share some with you.

Rose therapy – Secret is to master your mind which tower above all rest.

All that you need to do to perform this exercise is to get a fresh rose and silent place. Natural surroundings are best but a quiet room will also do nicely. Start to stare at the center of the rose  Keep staring at the rose. Notice its color, texture and design. Savor its fragrance and think only about this wonderful object in front of you. At first other thoughts will start entering your mind, distracting you from the heart of the rose. Simply return your attention to the object of your focus. Soon your mind will grow strong and disciplined.

Opposition thinking

Every time you catch thinking a negative thought, Take this negative necklace off and remove a bead out of it. Replace these gloomy thoughts with cheerful ones whenever you feel like this.

Magic of visualization

Pictures affect your self image and your self image affects the way you feel, act and achieve. See yourself as you want to be.

I Know you were thinking that what people will think if you pick a red rose and start staring at it, It looks like a fool with a fool 🙂

Most importantly do not be concerned with the judgement of others as long as know what you are doing is right. You can do whatever you want to do as long as it is correct according to your conscience and your heart. Never be ashamed of doing that which is right; decide on what you think is good and then stick to it.

The real source of happiness can be stated in one word : Achievement. Lasting happiness comes from achieving your goals.

Achievement not be materialistic but to attain peace of mind, self mastery and enlightenment.

Write your goals on a paper

People spend their whole live dreaming of becoming happier, living with more vitality and having an abundance of passion, but they do not see and importance of taking even ten minutes to write out their goals, to deeply think about the meaning of their lives, their dharma.

If you find difficult to write out your goal just concentrate every ounce of your mental energy on self discovery. Learn what you excel at and what makes you happy whatever it is find your passion and follow it.

If you look at the caption of cover image of the blog what it says?

The purpose of life is life of purpose, but how? How one can find the purpose of lives?

• Form a clear mental image of the outcome it can be to have a fit body, full of energy etc.

Get some positive pressure on yourself, this can inspire you to achieve great ends e.g Take a public pledge and tell everyone that you will lose the weight or whatever may be.

• The magic rule of 21, for a new behaviour to crystallize into a habit, one had to perform the new activity for twenty-one days in a row.

Smile, be spirited, joyful and curious – A day without laughter or a day without love was a day without life.

Kaizen Technique – A Japanese word means constant and never ending improvement.

The only limits on your life are those that you set yourself.

How to practice the kaizen technique ? Here are the few 10 steps to achieve that.

1) Secret of solitude

It is a place that will become your secret forum for mental and spiritual expansion, might be your terrace, or a spare room, the point is to reserve a spot for your renewal activities, a place that sits there quietly awaiting your arrival.

It says as you care for your body so you care for your mind. As you train your body, so you train your mind. There are 168 hours in a week spend at at least five hours nourishing the temple of your body through vigorous exercise.

3) The Ritual of nourishment –

Nourish your body with live foods, live foods are those which are created through the natural interaction of the sun, air, soil and water i.e A veg diet, don’t eat dead food.

4) The Ritual of abundant knowledge

It centers around the whole notion of life long learning and expanding your knowledge base for good of yourself and all those around you. Read regularly.

5) The Ritual of personal reflection –

Take time to think and get into regular habit of personal introspection. Write all the activities you do and your thoughts on daily basis and asses them whether they are positive in nature, if they were positive continue giving more energy to them.

6) The Ritual of early awakening

Rise with the sun and start the day off well. An average person can be on six hours sleep and remain perfectly healthy and alert. Its all about having a quality deep uninterrupted sleep rather than quantity of sleep.

7) The Ritual of music

Never forget the power of music. Spend a little time with it every day, even it is listening to a soft piece on a cassette while you drive to work. When you feel down or weary, play some music. Music heals.

8) The Ritual of spoken word

Recite this mantra whenever you need to feel motivated – I am inspired, disciplined and energized, I am strong, able and calm out loud two or three hundred times.

9) The Ritual of congruent character

This ritual says – You sow a thought, you reap an action. Reap an action, you saw a habit. Sow a habit you reap a character. Sow a character, you reap you destiny.

10) The Ritual of simplicity

This ritual requires you to live a simple life. One must never live in the thick of thin things. Focus only on your priorities, those activities which are truly meaningful. Your life will be uncluttered, rewarding and exceptionally peaceful.

To achieve simplicity stop picking phones every times it rings, stop wasting time reading junk mails, stop eating three times a week, spend more time with your kids and family, watch sunrise and sunset.

This may seems these quotes can’t be applied in practical life but believe me it is not so. These are all about finding the highest potential of one being.

Last and most important Final virtue of is all about living.

It is believed that truly joyful and rewarding only comes through a process called living in the now.

The most important moment is now. Learn to live it and savor it fully.

Always remember happiness is a journey, not a destination. Live for today there will never be another one quite like it.
