Brian Munroe's Key Ideas from The Secret Letters Of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
by Robin Sharma

As I stepped into the character, my transformation began.

A journey to wonderful places around the world to meet with an eclectic group of people.

Strangers who reveal astounding insights on how to reclaim my life, be true to myself, and fearlessly live my dreams.

Here are the lessons I learned in my journey and share now with you.

The best gift we can give ourselves is the gift of living an authentic and genuine life.  We need to:

• break free of the seductions of society and live on our own terms and values.
• explore our unseen hopes, desires, strengths and weakness that make us who we are.
• understand where we have been and where we are going.
• make every decision our commitment to living a life that is honest and true.

Fear keeps us right where we are.  Right in the center of our comfort zone and our familiar place.

The greatest risk in life is not taking any risks at all.

Stepping into the discomfort of growth, learning, and progress brings us a step closer to living a free life.

We learn, over time, to grow more fearless and powerful.

Our words are our thoughts verbalized and our deeds our beliefs in action.

No action, regardless of size, is insignificant.

• Kindness is life's biggest mirror.
• Mistrustful to others - mistrustful to ourselves.
• Cruel to others - cruel to ourselves.

Every encounter with another is our opportunity to shine a light on our values to influence positivity.

Be kinder. Be more generous.  

The way we handle of small tasks dictates the way we handle ALL tasks.

As we excel at our small tasks, our large tasks fall into place.

Consistency is key.

Daily incremental effort builds upon itself to produce monumental things.

Small daily improvements lead to exceptional results over time.

All work is your chance to express your personal talents - your time to shine a light on your greatness.

• devotion
• passion
• energy
• excellence

May your work be a source of inspiration to others and make a difference in the lives around us.

Strive for true mastery in your work.  

A life beautifully lived is to do the work that matters to you.

Always be aware of those around you. Those you allow into your inner circle of influence.

Spend time with those who appreciate you.  Lift you up. Elevate you.

Be with those who bring out the very best in you.

Surround yourself with people who truly love and care for you.

Your most positive friends and peers will inspire you to be the greatest version of yourself and lead a magnificent life.

Most people end up discovering what is truly important to them when they are much older in life.  How sad a realization.

Years spend pursing things that do not matter only to find out the things that truly matter have been around us the entire time.

Look for the wealth of blessings all around you each day.

As you do, your happiness and gratitude will expand.

The heart is wiser than the head.

Trust your heart.

Honor your heart.

Follow your heart.

The quality of your life will come down to the amount of love you poured into it and everything around you.

Every single one of us is here for a reason, a special purpose, a mission.

Build a happy beautiful life for yourself and those around you.

Make your life matter.  Be of use, be of service to others.

Become successful on your terms, not the terms of society.

Develop yourself, always be learning, always be expanding.

Seek understanding.

Be curious.

Dance like EVERYONE is watching, and have fun!
