We are all travellers on the path of life. Working towards a common final
destination, what differentiates the achievers in life from the failures is not
the amount of perishable possessions we accumulate, but the lasting
treasures we inculcate & nurture within ourselves.
Life does not need to be an existence characterised by hatred, grief,
regret, uncertainty & mediocrity. Days are not meant to be periods of
wakefulness where you force yourself to trudge through a bunch of
activities related to your marriage, business or family simply because you
have to. You have the innate ability to make the changes required to
transform your “existence” into a “life”.
Read, practise & share the general advices contained in this booklet and In
so doing, start to live the life you have been created to live.
Every moment of your life that passes by is an opportunity to succeed, to
progress, to achieve, to change. Start living your life, start achieving …

Manage your time well. Time wasted is opportunity wasted.
Postpone doing something/making that
important decision today & regret will be your pastime

Guard your health today & it will guard you tomorrow.
Your body & mind have been given to you to use & nurture,
not abuse & destroy
2
Focus long enough on the things you don’t have &
eventually you will become blind to all that you have been
blessed with
3
Be kind to them even when they’re mean to you
4
The ability to control your anger is an invaluable one. Never ever
speak or make a decision in anger
5
Never dwell upon the good that you have done for others & the bad that
others have done to you
6
You will never laugh every single day of your life, then again neither
will you cry every single day
7
Eat, sleep, drink & spend in moderation. You will enhance
you health & wealth in this way
8
Replay the hurt of the past long enough & you will have no present
or future to look forward to
9
Forgive others as much as you would like to be forgiven. In forgiveness lies true freedom
10
Irrespective of the amount of talent or knowledge your may have, you
will achieve nothing without making a concerted, committed
effort to achieve your goals
11
Ensure that you know what your goals in life are. You can’t achieve what you can’t focus on
12
Remember, that there will always be somebody with more
knowledge than you
13
You may never forget but you can ALWAYS forgive
14
Stay very far from jealousy. It leads a person to do terrible
things
15
Make sure your loved ones know you love them. Say it to them, show
it to them
16
Spend your time worrying about what others are saying & doing
and you will never live your own life. To start living you need to start
focusing
17
In every sphere of life, consistency will always lead you
to mastery
18
Honour lies hidden in humility. Be humble & you will be
honoured
19
Help others & help will find its way to you
20
Speak only when necessary. Those who speak less, listen more. Those
who listen more will inevitably learn more
21
A wise teacher once said “There is nothing wrong with
keeping wealth in your pocket or your hand, there is something very
wrong when wealth enters your heart”
22
Don’t stress over the things you can’t control. You harm not only yourself but those around you as
well
23
A kind gesture brings recurring rewards. Be kind to everyone you
come into contact with & reap innumerable rewards
24
No value can be placed on peace of mind & contentment of the heart. Focus your energies on achieving the lasting wealth of inner-peace
25
One sure way to ensure you never find true peace is to
harbour hatred for someone
26
When Fear says “What if you don’t succeed?”, take a moment
to reply “What if I do?”
27
You will never always have the things you want, but you will
always be blessed with the things you need
28
Take a few minutes each day to ask yourself :
a) How much closer to my goals have I come today?
b) If I die today will I be happy with my achievements so far?c) What have I done to benefit
someone else?
29
Your past made you who you are today, it doesn’t need to make you
who you will be tomorrow. Use your innate courage + the time & opportunities you have today to
change your tomorrow
