If you can\u2019t read the whole book, you can read these 101 lessons, I have learned from the book.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Discover Your Calling\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Finding your calling doesn\u2019t mean you must leave the job you now have. It simply means you need to bring more of yourself into your work and focus on the things you do best.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Every Day, Be Kind to a Stranger<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you make even one person smile during your day or brighten the mood of even one stranger, your day has been a worthwhile one.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Maintain Your Perspective<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the overall scheme of things, our lives are mere blips on the canvas of eternity. So have the wisdom to enjoy the journey and savor the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Practice Tough Love<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Without self \u2013 discipline, you will not set clear goals, manage your time effectively, treat people well, persist through the tough times, care for your health, or think positive thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Keep a Journal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Maintaining a daily journal is one of the best personal growth initiatives you will ever take. You will develop self \u2013 awareness and make fewer mistakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

And keeping a journal will help clarify your intentions so that you remain focused on the things that truly count.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Develop an Honesty Philosophy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The real problem is that when you don\u2019t keep your word, you lose credibility. When you lose credibility, you break the bonds of trust. And breaking the bonds of trust ultimately leads to a string of broken relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n

To develop an honesty philosophy, begin to monitor how many small untruths you tell over the course of a week. When you promise someone you will do something, do it. Be a person of your word rather than being \u201call talk and no action.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Honor Your Past<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Use the lessons you have learned from your past to rise to a whole new level of awareness and enlightenment.<\/span><\/p>\n

And understand that if you have failed more than others, there is a very good chance you are living more completely than others.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Start Your Day Well<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The way you begin your day determines the way you will live your day. If you have the wisdom and self \u2013 discipline to ensure that, during the first thirty minutes after you wake up, you think only the purest of thoughts and take only the finest of actions, you will notice that your days will consistently unfold in the most marvelous ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Learn to Say No Gracefully<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Learning to say no to the non \u2013 essentials will give you more time to devote to the things that have the power to truly improve the way you live and help you leave the legacy you know in your heart you are destined to leave.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Take a Weekly Sabbatical<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To revitalize yourself and nourish the deepest part of you, plan for a weekly period of peace \u2013 a weekly sabbatical \u2013 to get back to the simpler pleasures of life, pleasures that you may have given up as your days grew busier and your life more complex.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Talk to Yourself<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If it is inner peace and calm you seek, the phrase, known as a mantra, might be, \u201cI am so grateful that I am a serene and tranquil person.\u201d If it is more confidence that you want, your mantra could be, \u201cI am delighted that I am full of confidence and boundless courage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It if is material prosperity you are after, your saying might be, \u201cI am so grateful that money and opportunity is flowing into my life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Schedule Worry Breaks<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You should schedule fixed times to worry, say, thirty minutes every evening. During this worry session, you may wallow in your problems and brood over your difficulties.<\/span><\/p>\n

But after that period ends, you must train yourself to leave your troubles behind and do something more productive.<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Model a Child<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Take the time to study the positive qualities of children and model their ability to stay energized, imaginative, and completely at the moment no matter what might be going on around them.<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Remember, Genius is 99 Percent Inspiration<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

All of the great geniuses of the world were inspired and driven by their desire to enrich the lives of others.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you study their lives, you will discover that this desire became almost an obsession for most of them. With a healthy dose of inspiration, you will quickly raise your life to a whole new plane of living.<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Care for the Temple<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our bodies need to be treated like temples and considered sacred if we hope to live life<\/span>
\nfully and completely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regular exercise will not only improve your health, it will help you think more clearly, boost creativity, and manage the relentless stress that seems to dominate our days.<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Learn to Be Silent<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Experiencing solitude, for even a few minutes a day, will keep you centered on your highest life priorities and help you avoid the neglect that pervades the lives of so many of us.<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Think About Your Ideal Neighborhood<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Take a moment right now to jot down some of the people whom you wished lived on your street. Then think about the qualities that make these men and women so admirable and how you might foster such qualities in your own life.<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Get Up Early <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Getting up early is a gift you give to yourself. Few disciplines have the power to transform your life as does the habit of early rising.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is something very special about the first few hours in the morning. If spent wisely, the rest of your day will unfold in a wonderful way.<\/span><\/p>\n

19. See Your Troubles as Blessings<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Begin to see your troubles as blessings, resolve to transform your stumbling blocks into stepping stones, and vow to turn your wounds into wisdom.<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Laugh More<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Daily laughter has been shown to elevate our moods, promote creativity, and give us more energy. As William James, the father of modern psychology, observed, \u201cWe don\u2019t laugh because we are happy. We are happy because we laugh.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Spend a Day Without Your Watch<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than living by the clock and planning everything you are going to do, simply live for the moment and do whatever you feel like do.<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Take More Risks<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201clife is nothing more than a game of numbers \u2013 the more risks you take, the more rewards you will receive.\u201d The real secret to a life of abundance is to stop spending your days searching for security and start spending your time pursuing opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

23. Live a Life<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are no true tragedies, only lessons. And there really are no problems, only opportunities waiting to be recognized as solutions by the person of wisdom.<\/span><\/p>\n

24. Learn from a Good Movie<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A good movie can restore your perspective, reconnect you to the things you value most and keep your enthusiastic about all the things in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Bless Your Money<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In a chapter entitled \u201cThe Secret of Wealth\u201d Napoleon Hill writes the following: \u201cWhen you send your money out, remember always to bless it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask it to bless everybody that it touches, and command it to go out and feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and command it to come back to you a million \u2013 fold. Don\u2019t pass over this lightly. I am serious.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Focus on the Worthy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Time is your most precious commodity and yet most of us live our lives as if we have all the time in the world. The real secret to getting things done is knowing what things need to be left undone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you start spending the hours of your days only on those high \u2013 leverage activities and priorities that will advance your life\u2019s mission and legacy, everything will change.<\/span><\/p>\n

27. Write Thank \u2013 You Notes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The simplest gestures that have profound consequences is the lost art of writing thank \u2013 you notes.<\/span><\/p>\n

28. Always Carry a Book with You<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

How high you will rise in your life will be determined not by how hard you work but by how well you think. Deep reading allows you to connect with the world\u2019s most creative, intelligent and inspiring people, twenty \u2013 four hours a day.<\/span><\/p>\n

29. Create a Love Account<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mother Teresa once said, \u201cThere are no great acts. There are only small acts done with great love.\u201d To practice being more loving, create a love account.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each day, make a few deposits in this very special reserve by doing something small to add joy to the life of someone around you.<\/span><\/p>\n

30. Get Behind People\u2019s Eyeballs<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Taking the time to truly understand another\u2019s point of view shows that you value what he has to say and care about him as a person.<\/span><\/p>\n

31. List Your Problems<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There is something very special that happens when you take out a piece of paper and list every single one of your problems on it.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is very much like the peaceful feeling you get after telling your best friend about something that has been troubling you for weeks. A weight somehow falls from your shoulders. You feel lighter, calmer and freer.<\/span><\/p>\n

32. Practice the Action Habit<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Most of us know what we need to do some action in order to live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives. Action is a habit, the more positive actions you take, the more you feel like taking.<\/span><\/p>\n

33. See Your Children as Gifts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The greatest gift you can give to your children is the gift of your time. And one of the<\/span>
\ngreatest gifts you will ever give yourself is that of enjoying your kids and seeing them for what they truly are: the small miracles of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

34. Enjoy the Path, Not Just the Reward<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The real value of setting and achieving goals lies not in the reward you receive but in the person you become as a result of reaching your goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

35. Remember That Awareness Precedes Change<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You will never be able to eliminate a weakness you don\u2019t even know about. The first step to eliminate a negative habit is to become aware of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you develop an awareness about the behavior you are trying to change, you will be well on your way to replacing it with one that is more helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n

36. Read Tuesdays with Morrie<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This beautiful little book will remind you of the importance of counting your blessings daily and having the wisdom to honor life\u2019s simplest pleasures no matter how busy your life becomes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lessons Morrie offers during these moving Tuesday sessions include: how to avoid a life of regret, the value of family, the importance of forgiveness and the meaning of death, where he makes the powerful remark, \u201cOnce you learn how to die, you learn how to live.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

37. Master Your Time<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Commit yourself to manage your time more effectively. Develop a keen sense of awareness about how important your time really is. Don\u2019t let people waste this most precious of commodities and invest it only in those activities that truly count.<\/span><\/p>\n

38. Keep Your Cool<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

An excellent way to control your temper is simply to count to 100 before you respond to someone who has irritated you.<\/span><\/p>\n

39. Recruit a Board of Directors<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To succeed in these times of breakneck change, companies often recruit a board of directors to help them make more effective decisions and lead them in the right direction during stormy times.<\/span><\/p>\n

When are in trouble, sits in a room with a pen and pad of paper and writes down the problems that you are facing. And then calls upon your personal board of directors to help to solve your problems. The members of your board are just in your imagination, you seek the wise counsel of many of history\u2019s greatest thinkers.<\/span><\/p>\n

40. Cure Your Monkey Mind<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To get the best from life, you must be completely present and mindful in every minute of every hour of every Day. By developing present moment awareness and an abundance of mental focus, you will not only feel much calmer in your life, you will also unlock the fullness of your mind\u2019s potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

41. Get Good at Asking<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The more you ask, the more you get, but it takes practice to get good at it. Remember, the person who asks for what he wants at least has a chance of getting what he wants. The person who does not ask has no chance.<\/span><\/p>\n

42. Look for the Higher Meaning of Your Work<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

By concentrating on the value your work adds and the contribution you make, you will see quantum improvements in your satisfaction and motivation levels. Few things energize the human spirit more than the desire to make a difference in the lives of others.<\/span><\/p>\n

43. Build a Library of Heroic Books<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some of the \u201cheroic\u201d books that give you the wisdom and inspiration to live more deliberately and completely. If you read all of them and act on the lessons contained within their pages, you cannot help but improve your circumstances profoundly.<\/span><\/p>\n
