Just started reading Robin Sharma - Who will cry when you die?

Just started reading Robin Sharma's book titled "Who will cry when you die?", and I am slowly savouring and reflecting on it.

Even the title is enough to start me thinking..

Worry breaks

Robin's father observed that the Sanskrit character for the funeral pyre is very similar to the character for "worry".

Robin remarked:"I'm surprised."

Robin's father replied:"You shouldn't be, son. One burns the dead, while the other burns the living."

(I thought this was a beautiful description..)

If you worry too much, Robin suggests scheduling daily worry breaks. Haha..

Robin's quote from "Walden":"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it's because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

Honor your past

Every second you dwell on the past, you steal from the future.

Every minute you spend focusing on your problems, you take away from finding your solutions.

And thinking about all those things that you wish never happened to you is actually blocking all the things you want to happen from entering your life. Given the timeless truth that holds that you become what you think about all day long, it makes no sense to worry about past events or mistakes unless you want to experience them for a second time. Instead, use the lessons you have learned from your past to rise to a whole new level of awareness and enlightenment.
