Enlightened Living The Monk Who Sold The Ferrari
By Robin Sharma
A wonderfully crafted fable, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari tells the extraordinary story of
Julian Mantle, a lawyer forced to confront the spiritual crisis of his out-of-balance life. On a
life-changing odyssey to an ancient culture, he discovers powerful, wise, and practical lessons to live with greater courage, balance, abundance, and joy.
Wisdom to Create a Life of Passion, Purpose, and Peace
Julian Mantle – a hard working and a wealthy lawyer who works long hours and wears
himself down trying to be the best. After an heart attack he realizes that if he carries
on living the way he has been doing in the last years he will probably die soon without ever enjoying life!!!
Julian leaves his work and
goes to live in India in the
Himalayan mountains with
a small group of enlightened
wise men. They teach him
the ancient secrets of life
that have helped them
maintain almost perfect
happiness in life for more than a thousand years.
Julien goes back home where he meets with his ex co-worker John. John is amazed by the
transformation Julien has gone through – he looks 20 years younger and is in perfect health. He
has achieved perfect equilibrium and is finally found his mission in life! Julien goes on to teach
John a large number of techniques that can help everyone make the best of their lives.
Cultivate your mind - it will l blossom beyond your expectations. The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your thoughts. There are no mistakes – only
lessons. See setbacks as opportunities for personal expansion and spiritual growth.
Virtue # 1 : Master Your Mind
The secret of happiness is
simple: find out what you
truly love to do and then
direct all of your energy
towards doing it. Once you
do this, abundance flows
into your life and all your
desires are filled with ease and grace.
The purpose of life is a life of purpose. Discovering and then realizing your lifework brings lasting fulfillment. Set clearly defined personal, professional and spiritual goals, and then have the courage to act on them.
Virtue # 2 : Follow Your Purpose
Never forget the importance of living with unbridled exhilaration. Never
neglect to see the exquisite beauty in all living things. Today, and
this very moment, is a gift. Stay focused on your purpose. The Universe will take care of everything else.
Self-Mastery is the DNA of life mastery. Success on the outside begins within.
Enlightenment comes through the consistent cultivation of your mind, body and soul.
Virtue # 3 : Practice Kaizen
The Universe favors the brave.
When you resolve to lift your life
to its highest level, the strength of
your soul will guide you to a magical place with magnificent treasures.
Discipline is built by consistently performing small acts of courage. The more
you nurture the embryo of self-discipline, the more it will l mature. Willpower is the essential virtue of a fully actualized life.
Virtue # 4 : Live with Discipline
Wage war against the weaker
thoughts that have crept into the
palace of your mind. They will
see that they are unwanted and leave like unwelcome visitors.
Time is your most precious commodity and it is non-renewable. Focus on
your priorities and maintain balance. Simplify your life.
Virtue # 5 : Respect Your Time
Time slips through our hands like
grains of sand, never to return again.
Those who use time wisely from an
early age are rewarded with rich, productive and satisfying lives.
The quality of your life ultimately comes down to the quality of your contribution. To cultivate the sacredness of each day, live to give. By elevating the lives of others, your life reaches its highest dimensions.
Virtue # 6 : Selflessly Serve Others
The most noble thing you
can do is to give to others.
Start focusing on your higher purpose.
Live in the "now". Savor the gift of the present. Never sacrifice happiness
for achievement. Savor the journey and live each day as your last.
Virtue # 7 : Embrace the Present
We are all here for some
special reason. Stop being
a prisoner of your past.
Become the architect of your future.
Life is no brief candle for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got
hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. - George Bernard Shaw
