The Greatness Guide

I just finished reading an amazing book by Robin Sharma — The Greatness Guide. After reading his books, I’m becoming a huge fan of him. He’s not just an ordinary author; he’s someone who has transformed countless lives with his wisdom and insights.

Before I forget, here are some powerful lessons I took away from this book:


* There will never be a better YOU than YOU.

*Life is always fair in the end. Trust it.

*Do your fears & you will shine.

*The way you do the little things says a lot about the way you will do the big things

*Every person you meet knows at least one thing you don't; don't let them leave without knowing it (it's my most fav one)

*Tomorrow is incredible, not everyone gets one

*What you value in life, increases in value

*Don't just live your life, lead it

*You become what you think about

*It doesn't matter what other people think of you. All that matters is what you think of you.

*At the end of each day, what matters most is whether you were true to yourself

*It's the best five players that win the game, not the five best players

*What separates the BEST from REST comes down to habits

*Do your best & then let LIFE do the rest

*We really do become who we drink coffee with

*Leave people feeling better than you found them

*The price of discipline is always less than the pain of regret

*Speak the truth, even when your voice shakes

*20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did
