0:31

by Robin Sharma. Life lessons from the

0:33

0:35

0:37

1:06

Shama, who will show you exactly

1:08

how to recreate your life, so

1:10

1:12

1:15

a truly remarkable book that readers

will treasure for a lifetime. Before

the summary. Number 1. Maintained prospective perspective.

1:33

Often in life, we lose track of

1:35

what is important to us. We focus

1:38

on things that have a little importance.

1:40

How big our daily life problems are

1:42

really. Focusing on those little problems

1:45

gives us a sense that life

1:47

is pretty hard. What if you

1:49

change your perspective and look from

1:51

a different perspective? Humans are

1:53

tiny particles when compared to billions

1:55

of stars in the universe. Once

1:57

we switch the perspective we realize

2:00

that what we thought as a

2:02

giant hurdle of our life is

2:04

actually a little event that doesn't

2:06

matter that much when seen from

2:08

a different point of reference. According

2:10

to Robin Sharma, our lives are

2:12

mere blips on the canvas of

2:14

eternity. Whenever you face any stressful

2:16

situation, try to see it from

2:19

different angles or shift your perspective.

2:21

Maintaining your perspective will help you

2:23

look at problems more wisely and

2:25

rationally. Many people love writing diaries.

2:27

Diaries are the recollection of our

2:29

memories. When you look at your

2:31

diary you see the movie of

2:33

your past life. But along with

2:36

diary writing you should also do

2:38

journaling. Journaling is a bit different

2:40

than diary writing. Journaling includes writing

2:42

lessons that you learn from every

2:44

single day of your life. It

2:46

also involves writing your reason for

2:48

being and finding meaning in your

2:50

daily life. It has tremendous benefits.

2:52

For example, it helps you boost

2:55

yourself awareness. By journaling your ideas,

2:57

you get more connected to your

2:59

deeper self. Number 3. Be honest.

3:01

There is an adage that honesty

3:03

is the best policy. But how

3:05

many people do you think follow

3:07

that? A few. What's worse? Breaking

3:09

promises has become a habit now.

3:12

People consider breaking bonds of trust

3:14

as normal. Is this a good

3:16

thing? Hell no. You must be

3:18

honest with people around you. Whenever

3:20

you show dishonesty, you fuel this

3:22

terrible habit and due to it,

3:24

your brain automatically urges you to

3:26

lie more and more. Being dishonest

3:28

also adversely affects how much you

3:31

keep the promise with yourself. Number

3:33

four, embrace the present. Robin advises

3:35

the senior days as many lives.

3:37

We set goals and we give

3:39

our best to achieve those goals.

3:41

We try to control the future,

3:43

so much of our time is

3:45

spent chasing. distant goals. And in

3:48

that race of accomplishing great things

3:50

we forget to respect what's already

3:52

in front of us. We don't

3:54

feel privileged for all the things

3:56

we have. All we have is

3:58

now. All we have is now.

4:00

But still, so many people never

4:02

reach a stage where they could

4:04

embrace the present moment and in

4:07

the hope of achieving some grandiose

4:09

distant reality, they take the current

4:11

reality for granted. Robin says that

4:13

we walk this earth for a

4:15

short time. Shouldn't we respect what

4:17

we have now? Number five, don't

4:19

dwell in the past. Some people

4:21

focus on what lies ahead while

4:24

some focus on what happened to

4:26

them. in the past. Dwelling in

4:28

the past has some severe consequences,

4:30

but why do people dwell in

4:32

the past? People have setbacks and

4:34

failures, so when they look back

4:36

they feel bad and they try

4:38

to bury their failures as much

4:40

as possible. Robbins enlightens us with

4:43

the fact that if you have

4:45

more failures than others, then perhaps

4:47

it's because you have to serve

4:49

a higher purpose. We know happiness

4:51

only when we know what being

4:53

unhappy means. We know victory only

4:55

when we know what the feeling.

4:57

feels like. Instead of worrying and

5:00

complaining about your past you should

5:02

see it as a feedback mechanism.

5:04

Number 6. Have a morning routine.

5:06

The way you begin your day

5:08

determines the way you believe your

5:10

day. Robin Sharma. If you have

5:12

to launch a rocket or a

5:14

missile would you launch it at

5:16

an incorrect angle? No. The same

5:19

is the case with our day.

5:21

We must launch our day with

5:23

preparation. Robin suggests that you should

5:25

have morning rituals to follow. For

5:27

example, you could start your day

5:29

by drinking warm water, walking in

5:31

the woods, etc. The important part

5:33

is, the more organized your morning

5:36

is, the more organized your entire

5:38

day will be. Podbin, your message

6:05

Be childish. Children come to us

6:07

more highly evolved than adults to

6:09

teach us the lessons we need

6:12

to learn. When we grow old

6:14

we start to value less of

6:16

our playful child within us. We

6:18

get busy doing business, paying bills,

6:20

commuting to the office, etc. Somewhere

6:22

down the road of life we

6:24

lose touch with the child inside

6:26

of us. Although we grow tall

6:28

we start becoming less happy and

6:31

less energetic. Robbins shares his son's

6:33

story eating the warmest and most

6:35

vital part of the bread while

6:37

ignoring the outer layer. This reminded

6:39

Robin that adults could learn so

6:41

many things from children by observing

6:43

them. Robin also realized how his

6:45

son focused on the core of

6:48

the bread and how we can

6:50

transfer the same concept to our

6:52

lives by focusing on the things

6:54

that matter. 8. Practice self-talk. We

6:56

talk to ourselves every day, but

6:58

we do it unconsciously most of

7:00

the time. Talking to ourselves is

7:02

correlated with our thoughts. Thoughts have

7:04

incredible power to shape our lives,

7:07

attract prosperity, etc. Practice in self-talk

7:09

also makes you more aware of

7:11

your thoughts. You don't need to

7:13

push yourself and practice to deliver

7:15

self-talk. You just have to be

7:17

more conscious of it. The words

7:19

you speak to yourself change your

7:21

mindset, so you better watch how

7:24

you speak to yourself because it

7:26

will ultimately reflect in your life.

7:28

9. Practice Silence. Practice in silence

7:30

is as important as practice in

7:32

self-talk. The best way to practice

7:34

silence is to find a place

7:36

where you can be in solitude

7:38

and spend some quality time with

7:40

yourself. Being in solitude cuts off

7:43

outside noise and allows you to

7:45

calm your inner turbulence. You might

7:47

say, I'm too busy, I can't

7:49

practice silence. But really, can't you

7:51

find time for yourself? Can't you

7:53

stop for a moment to feel

7:55

gas? in your vehicle. Saying that

7:57

you don't have enough time to

8:00

practice silence on a regular basis

8:02

is a lot like saying that

8:04

you're busy driving to stop for

8:06

gas. Number 10. Go on a

8:08

news fast. A lot of things

8:10

happen in the world. Some are

8:12

good or some are bad and

8:14

this gives birth to the news.

8:17

News informs us about the events

8:19

happening around the world. It's good

8:21

to be aware of what's happening

8:23

in the world. The problem starts

8:25

when people begin to consume a

8:27

lot of news, more news than

8:29

they should. These days news channels

8:31

keep bombarding us with negative news.

8:33

It gives us the impression that

8:36

nothing positive is happening in the

8:38

world. But is this true? Definitely

8:40

not. Again, some events are constructive,

8:42

while others are destructive. Most people

8:44

even start the day by opening

8:46

a newspaper, which then also drains

8:48

the mood and energy of the

8:50

person. reading it because it's filled

8:53

with negative news that sells well.

8:55

Why do these newspapers highlight negative

8:57

news more? It's because humans by

8:59

nature tend to focus more on

9:01

tragic events rather than positive and

9:03

uplifting events. An earthquake is bound

9:05

to gather more attention than the

9:07

discovery of another chemical element. Here's

9:09

a tip. Try to practice news

9:12

fast. This will help you focus

9:14

more and you'll also spend quality

9:16

time with yourself. It's worth noting

9:18

that avoiding news won't make you

9:20

oblivious, you will still be able

9:22

to get news circulating through your

9:24

friends and colleagues. Number 11. Be

9:26

kind to strangers. Imagine what this

9:29

world would look like if everyone

9:31

were kinder to each other. Great,

9:33

wouldn't it? Everyone is come to

9:35

himself, but to strangers, it's a

9:37

whole different matter. Most

9:39

people are only kind to their

9:41

friends and family members and don't

9:43

care about others. Robin suggests that

9:46

you don't need to do great

9:48

acts to improve the quality of

9:50

your life. You can be great

9:52

every single day of your life

9:54

by showing compassion towards others. You

9:56

can help people you find on

9:58

the street or help a blind

10:01

old lady cross the road. By

10:03

doing these little acts of decency,

10:05

you can live a more fulfilling

10:07

life. 12. Take weekly holidays. Job

10:09

is a part of life. It

10:11

gives you money to survive, but

10:14

it isn't everything. You should also

10:16

carve out some quality time for

10:18

yourself for taking weekly holidays. That

10:20

way you'll be able to recharge

10:22

yourself with more energy and be

10:24

ready for your work after the

10:26

holidays. lives inside our bodies. That's

10:29

why we must give respect to

10:31

our bodies by treating it as

10:33

a temple. But in reality we

10:35

abuse our bodies by not giving

10:37

an exercise that needs. On top

10:39

of that we put in a

10:41

lot of junk food. Also studies

10:44

have shown that mental and physical

10:46

health are correlated so take care

10:48

of your body. Number 14 laugh

10:50

more. Even though people have almost

10:52

everything they can imagine most of

10:54

them aren't happy. You should practice

10:57

laughing more. If you tend to

10:59

become depressed you can ameliate this

11:01

by laughing more. 15. Take more

11:03

risks. Taking more risks opens up

11:05

new opportunities. People often avoid taking

11:07

the roads less traveled, but the

11:09

more risks you take in your

11:12

life, the more unique experiences you

11:14

gather once you walk the less

11:16

traveled road and overcome the hurdles

11:18

along the way. Your life's quality

11:20

and richness. get improved. Therefore, take

11:22

more risks. Don't fear. You never

11:25

know what's waiting for you on

11:27

the other side of the risk.

11:29

16. Time is money. We all

11:31

have the same allotment of 24

11:33

hours in a day. What separates

11:35

to people who create great lives

11:37

from the also runs is how

11:40

they use these hours. Most people

11:42

think that time is infinite. This

11:44

is a myth. You should consider

11:46

your time as money. Would you

11:48

squander your money if you had

11:50

a limited amount? Obviously not. When

11:53

you realize that life is short

11:55

and time is limited you become

11:57

cautious about how you spend your

11:59

life moments. 17. Take action. Most

12:01

people slip into the addiction of

12:03

thinking and never put efforts to

12:05

accomplish their goals. Put simply, they

12:08

keep dreaming and never take any

12:10

action to realise them. So don't

12:12

just sit and dream all day.

12:14

Take action. 18. Enjoy the process.

12:16

It's in the process that you

12:18

grow and become better. Some people

12:20

get so focused on accomplishing goals,

12:23

but they forget that it's in

12:25

those hardships that constitute the fun

12:27

part. Life isn't about the reward.

12:29

or the end goal. It's about

12:31

the journey that you experience. 19.

12:34

Rewrite your story. Imagine if you

12:36

had the chance to rewrite the

12:38

story of your life. What part of

12:40

your life would you change? Sadly,

12:42

you can't change the past. What's done

12:44

is done. Fortunately you can plan and

12:47

rewrite your life by finding out

12:49

what needs to be changed in your

12:51

life. Grab a pen and write down

12:53

what's really holding you from living a

12:56

life. You want to live. 20. Never

12:58

hesitate to ask for help. Sometimes

13:00

people feel embarrassed and hesitate to ask

13:02

for help. You should understand that there

13:05

are times when you don't get something

13:07

unless you ask for it. 21. Find

13:09

meaning in your work. Whatever you do

13:12

in your daily life, it must have

13:14

some meaning because if you don't find

13:16

meaning in what you do, it's meaningless.

13:19

Try to find a higher purpose for

13:21

your work. 22. Watch uplifting movies. Instead

13:23

of watching the news and TV

13:26

shows all day, you can watch

13:28

some positive and motivational movies. For

13:30

example, you can watch documentaries of

13:33

great people like Steve Jobs. 23.

13:35

Have great friends. Cultivating friendships is

13:37

one of the surest ways to

13:40

find more happiness. Enjoy in your

13:42

life. Friendships and relationships help us

13:44

in being resilient in tough times

13:47

and also great friends. Help you

13:49

in achieving more in life. 24.

13:51

Developing valuable skills. You

13:53

should develop invaluable skills within

13:56

yourself. Those skills will help

13:58

you grow professionally. 25. See

14:00

your day as a life. Don't think

14:02

that life is long. See your life

14:04

as a set of many, many lives.

14:07

Let me explain. Would you play counter-strike

14:09

full day? If you knew that you're

14:11

going to die tomorrow, no way unless

14:13

your life doesn't have any meaning. Thinking

14:16

your day as life gives you a

14:18

clear picture of your top priorities and

14:20

therefore you only do those things that

14:22

matter the most to you. 26. Take

14:24

the control of your life. You must

14:27

take charge of your life. Start with

14:29

small things. Try to be deliberate in

14:31

what you do. 27. Worry less. There

14:33

are so many things you can't change

14:35

in your life. For example, you can't

14:38

stop an alien invasion or you can't

14:40

stop gravity from point objects. Such things

14:42

are beyond our control. We often try

14:44

to worry a lot about things that

14:46

aren't in our control. What's the point

14:49

of worrying and taking so much stress

14:51

when you don't have the power to

14:53

change everything? It's understandable that a little

14:55

worrying and stress is often helpful and

14:58

helps you focus more. But do it

15:00

too much and you might get yourself

15:02

into trouble. Therefore worry less. Find things

15:04

that are in your control. Leave life.

15:06

with fewer worries. And that's wrap on
