The monk who sold his Ferrari. Robin S. Sharma. Selected quotes XI

-Make a written inventory of your weaknesses. Satisfied people are far more thoughtful than others. Take the time to reflect on what it is that might be keeping you from the life you really want and know deep down you can have. Once you have identified what your weaknesses are , the next step is to face them head on and attack your fears. If you fear public speaking, sign up to give twenty speeches.
-Fear is nothing more than a mental monster you have created, a negative stream of consciousness.
-When you conquer your fears, you conquer your life.
-No experience is inherently painful of pleasant. It is your thinking that makes it so.
-It is all a matte of conditioning.
-The best way to beat your fears is by doing the thing you fear.
-Understand the anatomy of fear. It is your own creation. Like any other creation, it is just as easy to tear it down as it is to erect it. Methodically search for and then destroy every fear that has secretly slid into the fortress of your mind. This alone will give you enormous confidence, happiness  and peace of mind.
-When you erase fear from your mind, you start to look younger and your health becomes more vibrant.
-What sets highly actualized people apart from those who never live inspired lives is that they do those things that less developed people don't like doing, even though they might not like doing them either.
-Truly enlightened people, those who experience deep happiness daily, are prepared to put off short-term pleasure for the sake of long-term fulfillment. So they tackle their weaknesses and fears head on, even if dipping into the zone of the unknown brings with it a measure of discomfort. They resolve to live by the wisdom of kaizen, improving every aspect of themselves ceaselessly and continuously. With time, things that were once difficult become easy. Fears that once prevented them from all the happiness, health and prosperity they deserved fall to the wayside like stick men toppled by a hurricane.
-Happiness comes through the progressive realization of a worthy objective. When you are doing what you truly love to do you are bound to find deep contentment.
