This vacation has turned out better than i expected. Finally i am gettin the time to read all the books that i hav always wanted. For starters i just finished readin The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. Though i had read the book earlier but sum how this time it just made more sense. I think its all abt timing. I am in a good place personally rite now where jus wanna try to be the best person i can be. And my spiritual side has completely taken over. I think my belief in God almighty is reinforced further with every passing day. I hav tried to work on myself and be a better person in the past as well, but then it was always for sum1. First it was for my family and then it was for the person i fell for but this time its just for ME. All those who know me will agree when i say that my self confidence has increased tremendously in the past year or so but sumwhere i feel there is still a long way to go. We all have sum insecurities but i want to reach a stage where i hav none. Also i jus want to rid myself of all the negativity so i hav worked to be able to forgive every1 who has ever done me wrong and i am almost there. I think sumwhere i had stopped growin as a person but in the last 2 years i feel like i started to grow again. Ans it feels gr8. Back to the book now. There are sum parts in The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari which are truly amazing and true to a gr8 extent. I hope i jus always remember these things i read cos i want to apply them in my day-2-day life.
I really luv this quote from the book..
'There are no mistakes in life,only lessons. There is no such thing as a negative experience, only
opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of selfmastery.
From struggle comes strength. Even pain can be a wonderful teacher.'
Another one of my favorite's is..
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their
bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find
yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you
discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
Also the try this mantra when u r down - There is more to me than what appears, all the powers of the world rest within me. Trust me it works. I think its an amazing book and definetly a must read. The death bed technique is sumthing that i am really gonna try and follow. I saw an interview of the author of the book Robin Sharma sumtime bak and when u'll look at him u'll realise that he's actually practising wat he's preachin. He jus looks like on e of those monks described in the book.
My results for the 2nd sem came out and they were better than i expected. I hav been consistent but now its time to grow and test my limits.
