Life changing books

πŸ’‘.... I once thought How books can change our life, but books have helped me articulate my own emotions or thoughts.πŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“š..... For all of us who’ve felt this transformation, or for anybody who hopes to find that in a good book, this is for you. i'd like to share some thoughts about two great books in this post:


First, If you are looking for a book to inspire you to fulfill your greatest dreams and live your absolute best life πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ», then read Robin sharma's - "The monk who sold his ferrari", this books is all about seeking out the most powerful and profound ideas, practices and tools for success, enduring happiness and lasting peace.


Author describes about the story of monks up in the highest reaches of the Himalayan mountainsπŸ”⛰⛰, then talks about the power of discipline and teaches how to be courage and leadership.πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ... I personally recommend this book to teachers,college students,business professionals, or anyone who is ready to do some remarkable things in their everyday life. I hope it will inspire you to awaken your bigness and experience fearlessness and lead life that's legendary. πŸ™‚πŸ™‚


My favorite part of this book is chapter 9, "The ancient art of self-leadership", this chapter begins with the quote of Confucius, "Good people strengthen themselves ceaselessly" then author will talk about success on the outside that ultimately begins in the inside, if you really want to improve your outer world whether this means your health🀲,your relationshipsπŸ‘©‍❤️‍πŸ‘¨πŸ‘©‍❤️‍πŸ‘¨ or your finances,πŸ’΄πŸ’΅πŸ’° you must first improve your inner world. self-mastery is the DNA of life mastery. πŸ’—πŸ’—....


Robin suggests some rituals like starting your day off with meditation and enjoying the day and listening to music.🎡🎢🎼🎼 later in the book,we can see details about friends, its more about friendship who add humor, fascination and beauty to life. friends keep you humble, they make you smile when you are taking yourself too seriously. Good friends are there to help you when life throws one of its little curves at you and things look worse than they seem. πŸ’«πŸ’«πŸ’«πŸ’₯πŸ’₯....


Then the book comes to an end describing about Happiness...πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜πŸ˜...Happiness is a journey, its also a choice that you make. enjoy the special moments that every day offers because today, this day is all you have! he claims that the size of your bank account, the size of your house have nothing to do with the living life with a sense of joy and wonder... this world has millions of unhappy millionaires. there is a huge difference between making a lot of money and making a lot of life and memories.⛹️‍♀️🏌️‍♀️πŸ‚πŸ‹️‍♂️.....


This book has been given to me by a great leader who has inspired many people - @ Yutheendran chandrasekaran - my manager in my previous company, many a times, i felt grateful about working with him, learning more about leadership and personality development. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘”πŸŽ“...


2. Next off to the second book - "Think Rich and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill


πŸ’«πŸ’«This is a gold mine, If you'd like to take away one point from this book, it is this - "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." If you'd like to know the secret formula for success, this is a book for you. i brought this book in 2016 and this is my annual review book, i go thru these book every year to keep me up on the track. Book was written during 1937 but i'm sure the information shared in this book could be used for centuries from now.😎🀝πŸ’₯...


Hill starts with "thoughts are things" and explains that talent and brilliance is not required to be successfull, more than that we need a BURNING DESIRE and presistance that are required for the translation into riches or other material objects. He keeps insisting that richness comes from an IDEA.πŸ•Š️πŸŽŠπŸ…πŸ† ... if you need to be successfull and rich you have your own Idea and your own Principles. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘


If you are one of those who believe that hardwork and honestly alone will bring success, prish that thought. It is not! 🀫🀫Success which comes in huge quantities are a result of Definite Principles and not by chance or luck. He explains that with the life story of some good old successfull men and legends like Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Edison.πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ


One great idea that i'd suggest everyone from this books is to Form a group of people with like minded people and Hill calls it as "success group"🌟⭐🌟☀️ becuase a group of electric batteries can provide more power and energy than a single battery, that was a phenominal thought!✨✨πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰


Hill states the following as 10 major attributes of leadership,☮️πŸ”― 1.Unwavering courage, 2.Self-control, 3.A keen sense of Justice, 4. Definiteness of decision, 5. Definiteness of Plans, 6. Habit of doing more than paid for, 7.A pleasing personality, 8.Sympathy and Understanding, 9.Cooperation 10.Willing to assume responsibility.


✨✨✨I loved this particular thought of Hill, when he said it would be benefcial that every college should enroll a student only if he or she declares what is his major purpose on the life, And later train them on how to take proper decision in life because it impacts them directly and also improves them in the habit of decision making.😎😎😎


Such a great book on Imagination, Faith and Hope and personal suggestion for everyone who is going thru financial struggles. 🎏🎏🎏


Thank you again for reading...

With love and care, 

Raj ... 😊

His and hers..

After a long run John came home late at 11.43pm, he tried opening the door already half slept… before the sound of the keys entering the lock, his pet Labrador smelled him and started woofing from the other side of the door, “I’m coming spooky!” with a mild voice and a smile on his face, which only shows up for his loved ones…John opened the door, completely drained… placing his briefcase case in the sofa and now the phone started ringing, “ it should be her… ” taking a depth breath john picked the call, “ Susie you must be sleeping? ” no words from the other end, “ Sunshine! Still there ?” and that word lightened Susie, a high school teacher, sharp eyed. “ don’t call me sunshine john, you are always away from my sun light! ” that little phony fight again… call lasted for just 6mins, and john slept while she kept speaking, Susie had to hang-up the call with the same text message: “ You d id it for 116 th  time, sleep tight! ”... When the morning rays entered thru...

First move ...

When reading was the miraculous thing that happens every day for me, writing was the purposeful sense that gave me a hand to fulfill the day… Filling a paper with my own words is not just a hobby; it’s a part of who I am. It’s a type of meditation; I mean it gives us the similar effect on our minds when we meditate. If you look closer, our breathing will slow down a bit, you will get into a ZONE where you are free to pick your words, free to describe your own thoughts… a stream of words ... an unconscious flow of energy! If you are reading this now, you are the reason for this blog, with all your suggestions, all your motivations, all your critics and comments too :) .. it started from my school days that I began to write… it was 10 th grade. Poetry, I never knew that words dances, no one told me that but I realized through poems… I fell in love with language... It is a free floating state of mind, each particle around me turned out into a poem… smile of the sunrise, swe...
