Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.

Follow the three Rs:

Respect for self
Respect for others
Responsibility for all your actions.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

Spend some time alone every day.

Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.

A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.

Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.

Be gentle with the earth.

Interview with robin sharma

The size and quality of your outer life is only limited by the size and quality of your inner life. And life is a mirror - giving us not what we want but who we are.

The Holy Hour, as you know, is simply 60 minutes at the beginning of your day that you devote to self-mastery and personal development.

“the things that get scheduled are the things that get done”.

I plan my time with my kids. As well, I see myself as a developer of them.

Robin: To be more disciplined:

Get up early for 30 days

Surround yourself with excellent people

Finish what your start

Keep your promises

Be punctual

Set and realize small goals

Get brilliant at visualization

The smallest of actions is always better than the noblest of intentions.

Taking a single step towards a goal/dream/result sets forces in play that create consequences.

“small daily improvements over time lead to stunning results.”

Also remember that most of the things we fear never happen. So why let these hallucinations called fears keep us small in our lives.
