Six More Ways To Improve Your Life
There are many things about each of us that should be improved in order for us to live a happy and fulfilling life. We all wish to improve certain aspects of our life.Some of the changes that you ought to incorporate in your routine to improve your life are:
1) Try and get up a little early in the morning then our usual time. Even if we do get up half an hour earlier we will realize that we have so much more time to do our work. Start the day by meditating for 15 minutes. This will help us to connect with our inner self and bring in serenity and then we are ready to face the day’s challenges. An exercise schedule is equally important to get rid of our sluggishness. This routine of 20 minutes will work wonders for you. Eating a whole some and hearty breakfast is a necessity as it provides us with the days energy.
2) Keep a to do list so that when we get down to work we can ensure that the work which has to be completed first is done with. We should never procrastinate and put off something for another time or day. This increases our work load. Always work towards the goals we have set for our lives and every small achievement in this direction gives us loads and loads of satisfaction. The work completed and the schedule maintained gives an immense boost to our confidence level. Hence setting smart and achievable goals are very important.
3) On the way to work or going anywhere try and smile even at strangers. Smile is the best lifter of spirits and it makes the other person also feel that it is not such a bad day after all. Dressing up properly is another good spirit lifter. When we look good, we feel better equipped to face the world. When we hold a grudge against someone they own a rent free space in our mind. As soon as we forgive that person that place becomes empty and we feel so light. Apologizing to someone even if it was not your fault is also very endearing and it will lead to lessening the burden on our head.
4) Our attitude towards others, towards work, towards everything should be so positive such that nothing untoward can effect us. Changing our daily habits helps us achieve positive attitude. Our habits can be good or bad. Expecting anything from anyone is a bad habit. Develop good eating habits, good sleeping habits, have a good conversation with your family members, take part in all the small things of your family members life. This all leads to a positive attitude of the mind.
5) Read inspiring stories of great men and women who have achieved all that they had set to achieve by simple means. Learn from them and keep the tips in mind so as to use them as and when needed. The story of the Delaney sisters is really very inspiring.
6) Increase your own happiness by doing whatever pleases your and by keeping some part of the day for your self. Do whatever pleases you and whenever it pleases you.

Review of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: A Fable About Fulfilling Your Dreams & Reaching Your Destiny by Robert Sharma is an inspirational and uplifting book. It truly is a modern day fable in which a wealthy and powerful man named Julian Mantle completely transforms his life and himself after experiencing a heart attack that almost kills him.
After Julian’s near death experience he realizes how truly unhappy he is despite his enormous outer success. He decides to sell everything he owns, including his Ferrari, and go on a mission to find happiness, peace, and purpose. On a visit to the Himalayas he comes onto contact with the “Sages Of Sivana”.
He finds a teacher who is willing to share with him all of their wisdom. The teacher uses a fable to illustrate the Seven Virtues to Julian, one that can be broken into seven distinct parts, each part representing another one of the Seven Virtues. The theory behind the book is that if someone lives according to these seven virtues they will have a happier and more fulfilling life. For each of the seven virtues there are a number of daily practices included in the book to help cultivate each virtue and improve your life.
The Seven Virtues are: master your mind, follow your purpose, practice kazien, live with discipline, respect your time, selflessly serve others, and embrace the present. This book discusses the importance of each of these virtues on the road to life mastery and outlines step by step how to reach these goals.
I definitely enjoyed this book. If you have read many books in the self-empowerment and improvement genre some parts of this book might feel like you have read them before. However, this book puts them all into a context that is very simple to understand. The fictional story format, as opposed to the non-fiction format of most books about improving your life, was a fresh way to look at ideas you may already be familiar with. The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari packs a lot of positive, inspirational ideas into a book that is a relatively short and easy read. It would even be a good book to share with your spouse and children.
It is full of wisdom but the story is simple enough for fairly young children to grasp. I would absolutely recommend this book, especially to those people who are looking for a book to help them get more organized and accountable with their goal setting.
