The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari is a book which is written by an Indian writer Robin Sharma. It is an inspirational and very useful book which guides to change our life from ordinary to extraordinary. Mainly, this book talks about the secret ways or ideas to be a happy, vibrant, youthful, and spiritual person through a monk who was a millionaire lawyer. His name is Julian Mantle.
Today’s world is a very busy and problematic world. All people are running towards their own aims or dreams like they are going to miss their train of happiness forever. Most people give up their happiness either for their namesake or for wealth-sake. Likewise, Julian is a modern person as a lawyer who worked hard and earned millions of wealth including a red Ferrari. But he wasn’t happy at all. Then he sold all his wealth even his Ferrari and he started to look into himself. It is about the journey of Julian to the Himalayan mountains.
When Julian went to India, he knew about the great sages of Sivana. Then he started to find them. After his hard work, he succeed to meet to sages of Sivana. He saw the miraculous and magical scenery of their village, mountains, etc. He met ageless and completely happy people in there that he had never seen in his lifetime. He learned each and every technic from the great sages. After a few months, he became a youthful and vibrant man. Then he returned from there to spread their technics and ideas to his world.
It is one of my best books that I’ve read. I think we all people of this modern world should read this book to get a happy and healthy life. I learned many lessons from this book.
When I read this book, I learned to listen to my own heartbeat; stare at the heart of rose for positive thinking and also be the master of my time to get my dreams. Especially, I am using ten rituals of radiant living which Julian was taught by the sages of Sivana. The progress is that I am feeling more alive and energetic by doing these ten rituals. So, I want to share these tips which can help you to be a happy and youthful person and to achieve everything you want to get in your lifetime.
THE TEN RITUALS OF RADIANT LIVING;-
- The ritual of early awakening:– We can sleep a maximum of six hours a day and awake with sunrise. We can feel extra peace by seeing the sunrise.
- The ritual of solitude:– We should stay silent in a secret place after getting up for at least fifteen minutes at the same time daily. It will also help to calm down our thinking mind.
- The ritual of physicality:– We should do Yoga to connect our body, soul, and mind. We should also practice breathing consciously.
- The ritual of music:- We can listen to our favorite music to feel good and fresh.
- The ritual of live nourishment:– If we can, it is better to be vegetarian. Mainly, we should eat alive food.
- The ritual of the spoken word:- We should repeat a mantra or that type of word which encourages us to do good things. For example, if you say that you are healthy, dynamic, and fully alive then you can do everything you want.
- The ritual of abundant knowledge:- We should read many best books which inspire us to do good things.
- The ritual of congruent character:- We should write down what we want to be in the future and we should follow them continuously.
- The ritual of simplicity:- We should live a simple lifestyle to be happy and satisfied. It also helps to stop doing unnecessary things.
- The ritual of personal reflection:– We must think about what we did today. If there is any mistake or negative thought, we should try to replace it with a positive thought.
I think it will help you to be happy and healthy. There are many good quotes in this book. Some of these, my favorite quotes are as follows:-
We are all here for some reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past, become the architect of your future.
Happiness is a journey not a destination.
The best time to plant a tree was forty years ago. The second best time is today. Don’t waste even one minute of your day.
RUN YOUR OWN RACE. It doesn’t matter what other people say about you.
