The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

The Monk who Sold His Ferrari, by Robin Sharma is a fable about fulfilling your dreams and reaching your destiny. It is definitely a very captivating and practical story which teaches you various practical lessons like developing joyful thoughts, valuing time and cultivating self-discipline. This book is filled with insights about follwing your passion and living your dream.

I really liked the "Opposition Thinking" technique .This is a particularly good technique for ridding the mind of worry and other negative, life-draining influences. Under the grand laws of nature, the mind can only hold one thought at any time. I did try this and it is true. Really, using this little known information, anyone can easily create a positive, creative mindset within a short period. This process is straight forward: when a undesirable thought occupies the focal point of your mind, replace it with an uplifting one.

Step one is to become aware that you are thinking these uninspiring thoughts. Self-knowledge is the stepping stone to self mastery. Step two is to appreciate once and for all that just as easily as you allowed those gloomy thoughts to enter, you can replace them with cheerful ones. So, you need to think of opposite and so this is called as Opposition Thinking.

I think 'Sattvic' or pure thoughts are very important. The quality of thinking determines the quality of life.
