Rise with the sun and start the day off well. Most of us sleep far more than we need to. The average person can get by on six hours and remain perfectly healthy and alert. Sleep is really nothing more than a habit and like any other habit, you can train yourself to achieve the result you want: sleeping less in this case.
Pain is the precursor to personal growth. Don't dread it. Instead, embrace it.
Nothing to extremes, everything in moderation.
There are few things more natural than rising with the glory of the first rays of a new day.
Get up early, every day.
It is the quality and not the quantity of sleep that is important. The better the sleep, the less I will need.
The ten minute period before you sleep and the ten minute period after you wake up are profoundly influential on your subconscious mind. Only the most inspiring and serene thoughts should be programmed into your mind at those times.
The Ancient Rule of Twenty one: if you do anything for twenty one days in a row, it will be installed as a habit.
Laughing is medicine for the soul. We don't laugh because we are happy. We are happy because we laugh.
What would I do today if today was my last?
7. The Ritual of Music.
Spend a little time with music every day, even if it is listening to a soft piece on a cassette while you drive to work. Music is one of the finest motivators I know of.
8. The Ritual of the Spoken World.
Affirm all that is good in your world through mantras.
If your self-image is one of a person who lacks the confidence to do anything of value, you will only be able to take actions which are aligned with this trait. On the other hand, if your self-image is one of a radiant individual who is fearless, again, all your actions will correspond to this quality. Your self-image is a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.
You can change your self-image. When you change your inner world, you change your outer world.
9. The Ritual of a Congruent Character.
This ritual requires you to toke daily, incremental action to build your character.
Strengthening your character affects the way you see yourself and the actions you take. The actions you take come together to form your habits and, your habits lead you to your destiny.
You sow a thought, you reap an action. Reap an action, you sow a habit. Sow a habit, you reap a character. Sow a character, you reap your destiny.
A virtuous life was a meaningful life.
Live in a manner congruent to these principles: industry, compassion, humility, patience, honesty and courage.
Do the right things. Act in a way that is congruent with your true character. Act with integrity. Be guided by your heart. The rest will take care of itself. You are never alone.
10. The Ritual of Simplicity.
Live a simple life. Focus only on your priorities, those activities which are truly meaningful. Your life will be uncluttered, rewarding and exceptionally peaceful.
Reduce your needs. Unless you reduce your needs, you will never be fulfilled. You will always want more than you have. How can you ever be happy?
Lifelong happiness does come through striving to realize your dreams. You are at your best when you are moving forward. The key is not to make your happiness contingent on finding that elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
True life change is spontaneous. The very moment you decide from the deepest core of your being that you will raise your life to its highest level, in that instant, you will be a changed person, one set on the course of this destiny.
Within you lies the sun, the moon, the sky and all the wonders of this universe. The intelligence that created these wonders is the same force that created you. All things around you come from the same source. We are all one.
Every being on this Earth, every object on this Earth has a soul. All souls flow into one, this is the Soul of the Universe. When you nourish your own mind and you own spirit, you are really feeding the Soul of the Universe. When you improve yourself, you are improving the lives of all those around you. And you have the courage to advance confidently in the direction of your dreams, you begin to draw upon the power of the universe. Life gives you what you ask of it. It is always listening.
Failure is not having the courage to try. The only thing standing between most people and their dreams is the fear of failure. Never fear failure. Failure is your friend. The universe favors the brave.
Everyone's destiny is laid out for them at birth. This path always leads to a magical place filled with magnificent treasures. It is up to each individual to develop the courage to walk this way.
Always be brave. Stand your ground and follow your dreams. They will lead you to your destiny. Follow your destiny, it will lead into the wonders of the universe. And always follow the wonders of the universe, for they will lead you to a special garden filled with roses.
