In fact, we know all the stuffs that he wrote about inside the book. It's logical.
But we just did not think about it and the way to put it.
I shall share some of the good pointers with all of you:
1. We all fail. But it is not failing that hurts. What hurts i knowing that you didn't give your best.
2. Have the discipline to do little things you don't like - and you can spend your life doing the big things you do like. Happy people don't just accept change, they embrace it.
3. The moment you get too attached to things, people, money... you screw it up! The challenge of life is to appreciate everything and attach yourself to nothing.
4. Whatever thoughts are causing you pain, they are only thoughts. You can change a thought.
5. The more emotional you are about things, the less control you have.
6. Where did you get the idea that if we don't forgive people, they suffer?
7. For the world to treat you well, you have to treat yourself well. How can you feel like a mover and shaker when you have holes in your underwear?
8. Most of us learned things inside out! We learned: "If you don't like your job, change it. If you don't like your wife, change her." Sometimes, it's appropriate to change your job or your partner. But if you don't change too, you are settig yourself up for more of the same.
9. When we forgive ourselves, we stop criticising other people.
10. It's life's way of encouraging us to grow. The only way to beat fear is to face it.
11. When your body hurts, pain reminds you to take a rest, or maybe to change your shoe or to find a better way. When your mind hurts, pain reminds you to quit worrying or to be more forgiving, or to think a different way. Pain is not your enemy. Pain is your friend!
12. the happiest people don't worry too much about whether life is fair or not. they just get on with it.
13. If you want more peace of mind, stop labeling everything that happens as "good" or "bad"
14. if you think the world is against you, it is. Blaming other people doesn't work. When you fight life, life always wins.
15. Life doesn't have to be an endless struggle. Let things flow.
16. Your mission in life is not to change the world. Your mission is to change yourself. There are no "outside" solutions, only "inside" solutions.
17. Fred says: "I think like i do because my life is a mess!" No fred, your life is a mess because you think like you do!
18. God is never going to come down from a cloud and say: "You now have the permission to be successful!" You have to give yourself permission.
19. If you don't know what you like doing, maybe you stopped listening to yourself years ago. Many of us became different people in order to please everyone else.
20. When life is sweet and that little voice says: "It can't last!" Tell yourself: "Maybe it's about to get better!"
21. Life goes like this... We get hit by little pebbles - as a kind of warning. When we ignore the pebbles, we get hit by a brick. Ignore the brick and we get wiped out by a boulder. If we are honest, we can see where we have ignored the warning signs. And then we have the nerve to say: "Why me?"
22. Act as if every event has a purpose, and your life will have purpose. Figure out why you needed an experience, conquer it, and you won't need it again. Ultimately, you can only depend on your inner guidance-in other words, follow your heart.
Go get the book! It's really meaningful. There's "Follow your heart", "Being happy", "Making friends".
An ex of mine laughed when he saw me reading the book many years ago.
He said, "what? You need a book to remind you to be happy?"
But people... the book isn't simply just reminding you to be happy.. it's reminding you how fortunate we are and also.. there are opportunities around us etc but we did not notice.
Really, go get the book. It's nice.
