The monk who sold his Ferrari. Robin S. Sharma. Selected quotes XII. First five Rituals of Radiant Living

-The Ten Rituals of Radiant Living:
1. The Ritual of Solitude (Mandatory period of peace).
Solitude and quiet connects you to your creative source and releases the limitless intelligence of the Universe.
Positive life habits inevitably guide you to your destiny.
Commune with nature daily.
2.  The Ritual of Physicality.
As you care for the body so you care for the mind.
3. The Ritual of Live Nourishment. 
Live foods. Feel your plate with fresh vegetables, fruits and grains.
4. The Ritual of Abundant Knowledge. 
Read regularly. Do not read just anything. It must be immensely nourishing: philosophical literature, biographies, etc.
To truly get the best out of a great boo, you must study it, not just read it.
Every answer to every problem you have ever faced is in print. All the mistakes you will ever make in your life have already been made by those that have walked before you. Do you really think that the challenges you are facing are unique to you? Read the right books.
It is not what you will get out of the books that is so enriching. It is what the books will get out of you that will ultimately change your life. Books simply help you to see what is already within yourself.
5. The Ritual of Personal Reflection. 
Inner contemplation. Get into the regular habit of personal introspection.
There is nothing wrong with making mistakes. But there is something very wrong with making the same mistakes over and over again, day in and day out. This shows a complete lack of self-awareness.
