1.      Master your Mind
  • If you care for your mind, nurture it and cultivate it.  It will blossom beyond your expectation.
  • The quality of life is determined by the quality of your thoughts.
  • There are no mistakes – Only Lessons

 2.      Follow your purpose
  • The purpose of life is to lead a life of purpose.
  • Set clearly defined personal, professional and spiritual goals.
  • Discovering and then realizing your life works brings lasting fulfillment




 3.      Self Mastery
  • Good people strengthen themselves ceaselessly – Confucius
  • Success on the outside begins with success on the inside.  Improving your inner world builds a strong character.
  • Strong character full of discipline, energy, power, and optimism can achieve anything in the outer world.
  • When you push yourself beyond your limits, you unlock mental and physical reserves you never thought you had.

 4.       Live with discipline
  • Discipline is built by consistently performing small acts of courage.
  • Willpower is the essential virtue of a self actualized life.

 5.       Respect ‘Time’

  • Time mastery (skill in a subject) means life mastery.
  • Focus on your priorities and maintain balance.
  • Time mastery allows you to do the things you love to do, the things that are meaningful to you.
  • Time spent enriching non-work hours makes you tremendously efficient in your work hours.

 6.       Selflessly serve others
  • Quality of your life ultimately comes down to the quality of your contribution.
  • By elevating lives of others your life reaches higher dimension.

 7.       Live in the “Now”
  • Embrace the present.
  • Happiness is a journey and not the destination.  Live in the “now”
  • Love the life with simple.  Living simple will gain life satisfaction.
