Top 200
Secrets of Success in Life (P.I)
The Top 200 Secrets of Success and the Pillars of
Self-Mastery by Robin S. Sharma
1. Sleep less. This is one of the best investments you can
make to make your life more productive
and rewarding. Most people do not need more than 6 hours to
maintain an excellent state of health.
Try getting up one hour earlier for 21 days and it will develop
into a powerful habit. Remember, it is
the quality not the quantity of sleep that is important. And
just imagine having an extra 30 hours a
month to spend on the things that are important to you.
2. Set aside one hour every morning for personal development
matters. Meditate, visualize your day,
read inspirational texts to set the tone of your day, listen
to motivational tapes or read great literature.
Take this quiet period to vitalize and energize your spirit
for the productive day ahead. Watch the sun
rise once a week or be with nature. Starting the day off
well is a powerful strategy for self-renewal
and personal effectiveness.
3. Do not allow those things that matter the most in your
life be at the mercy of activities that matter
the least. Every day, take the time to ask yourself the
question "is this the best use of my time and
energy?" Time management is life management so guard
your time with great care.
4. Use the rubber band method to condition your mind to
focus solely on the most positive elements
in your life. Place a rubber band around your wrist. Each
time a negative, energy sapping thought
enters your mind, snap the rubber band. Through the power of
conditioning, your mind will associate
pain with negative thinking and you will soon possess a
strongly positive mindset.
5. Always answer the phone with enthusiasm in your voice and
show your appreciation for the caller.
Good phone manners are essential. To convey authority on the
line, stand up. This will instill further
confidence in your voice.
6. Throughout the day we all get inspiration and excellent
ideas. Keep a set of cards (the size of
business cards; available at most stationary stores) in your
wallet along with a pencil to jot down
these insights. When you get home, put the ideas in a
central place such as a coil notepad and
review them from time to time. As noted by Oliver Wendell
Holmes: "Man's mind, once stretched by a
new idea, never regains its original dimensions."
7. Set aside every Sunday evening for yourself and be
strongly disciplined with this habit. Use this
period to plan your week, visualize your encounters and what
you want to achieve, to read new
materials and inspirational books, to listen to soft soothing
music and to simply relax. This habit will
serve as your anchor to keep you focused, motivated and
effective throughout the coming week.
8. Always remember the key principle that the quality of
your life is the quality of your communication.
This means the way you communicate with others and, more
importantly, the way you communicate
with yourself. What you focus on is what you get. If you
look for the positive this is what you get. This
is a fundamental law of Nature.
9. Stay on purpose, not on outcome. In other words, do the
task because it is what you love to do or
because it will help someone or is a valuable exercise.
Don't do it for the money or the recognition.
Those will come naturally. This is the way of the world.
10. Laugh for five minutes in the mirror each morning. Steve
Martin does. Laughter activates many
beneficial chemicals within the body that place us into a
very joyous state. Laughter also returns the
body to a state of balance. Laughter therapy has been
regularly used to heal persons with varied Brought to you by
