‘’ you are far greater than you have ever dreamed of being. And no matter what you are experiencing in your life right now, trust that all is good and unfolding in your best interests, it may not look pretty, but it is exactly what you need to learn for you to grow into the person you have been destined to become. Everything occurring in your maximal evolution as a human being and bring you into your true power.

As the author perpended most of the people on the planet today have lost the connection to their authentic selves, this original state of being in which they were unafraid to walk towards possibility and reach for the stars. The world always spotlight suffering, but as the author goes over with a fine comb. Suffering has always been a vehicle for deep spiritual growth he also acclaims that those who have endured great suffering are generally the ones who evolve into great beings.
Robin Sharma seeks creative alternative such as 7 stages of self awakening that drove the archetypal journey of the individual.
It is specifically praised and pricked the thought of not to measure the life by decades but to by deeds, this happens only when the crowd spend more time planning their lives than their summer vacations .
The well crafted story by Robin Sharma is the tale of fictional adventures of Julian Mantle and navigates Dar Sanderson.
Dar is a wheeler and dealer in almost all aspects of life yet he was hollow from inside. In this not so interesting situation , he inadvertently meets Julian Mantle, the eminent monk who sold his Ferrari and as a result instilled insightful acumen and wisdom to the interminable success on his journey to India.
Julian recommends the 7 stages of self awakening for the enlightenment of Dar , which is practicable by any one.
Robin Sharma conveys his thought provoking ideas with his famous character Julian, he manifest , how to trust the limitless potential of self, he conveys this by telling that life is a treasure and there is so much more than it is , because people must do what they need to do to develop a lust for life , which unfold the cause for life, the very thought feels and energizes the purpose of a day that creates excitement and passion and invite our biggest selves to come out to play.
He untangles to do the best, the very best that any one know how to do in every dimension of life and then let life do the rest. Its really a delicate balance between making it happen and letting it happen.
Julian clarifies about the choices an individual has to make, the stage of releasing control and breaking the chains. Its up to the living soul to co-write the script that has been written, and those creeps with the problem can have participation in their life, it should be noted that the only people without problems and adversity are six feet under the ground, to this point he humps that we are here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain , not to shrink to a grain of sand.
In the later part of the book he fairly briefs about the awareness of wonder and possibility, he rightly acknowledges it takes great strength to leave the crowd and be true to original native, when a life fails to pour love into the world leads to the betrayal true self which ends up in slow and painful death. People begin to lose self respect , self worth being to feel unhappy, angry and irritable at the physical level lacks energy and vitality and may even grow ill, hence, self awakening is the skeleton key.
People see the world not as it is but as they are, they see the world through the filter of their personal perception, which comprises all the beliefs , fears assumption and values that they have assumed from parents , teachers and in an efforts to fit in with crowd and be loved.
Awareness precedes choice and choice precedes change , the soul would rather fail at its own life than succeed at someone else. The self awakening helps to see that people , at their core , are good and it is only because of the hurts that life has visited on them that they get bad intentions.
Living an excellent life is a manifestation of self-love. Juliana gave voice to his awe inspiring thought by wringing that we spend life trying to please others, but where are they now!! On everyone’s deathbed, the only person they have to answer is the person they look at the mirror every morning , so … ‘’BE GENTLE TO YOURSELF’’
‘’ you cant make someone feel good about themselves until you feel good about yourself’’
Julian makes trenchant criticisms on peoples incapability of understanding life to this very thought he posit that life will bring pain all by itself, our responsibility is to create joy.
Nothing that happens to people in life has any meaning other than the meaning they attach to it. Pain and suffering only comes from judgement , as they release judgement and stop labelling things as positive or negative and simply accept them as opportunities to evolve into their biggest selves.
There are no such things as bad experience or even a good one , the hard times fuel the growth and makes wiser, the easy straights fill with joy and seem to be rewards for living in alignment with the natural rules of the game.
