What did I learn from Robin Sharma’s 60 TIPS FOR A STUNNINGLY GREAT LIFE?

            Over the last couple of days, I have been internalizing Robin Sharma’s 60 TIPS FOR A STUNNINGLY GREAT LIFE

            After going through the 60 tips, the top 3 which have had an impact are the following: -

• Know the 5 highest priorities of your life: IA – These 5 priorities should be fixed, atleast for the next five years. Once the goal post is known, you can chart plans to move towards it. It does not matter, if the goal post keeps moving, as nothing in life is static. Just be sure that you always see the Goal Post. The Goal Post should always be visible in your sub-conscious mind.
•  Eat less food: IA – Eat to Live and Live to Eat. Eating more food makes me drowsy.  I am most happy when I eat to 75% of my capacity and I am at my best.

• Be a great teammate: IA – Nothing can be achieved by an individual. Successful leaders have great teams in the background, and a Leader has to be a great teammate to experience successes.
