Robin Sharma Quote on Time Management and Prioritizing More Of What’s Important

    “You must be ruthless with your time.  Learn to say no.  Having the courage to say no to the little things in life will give you the power to say yes to the big things.  Shut the door to your office when you need a few hours to work on that big case.  Don’t pick up the phone every time it rings.  It is there for your convenience, not the convenience of others.  Ironically, people will respect you more when they see that you are a person who values his time.  They will realize that your time is precious and they will value it.”

    Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

        “One of the most tragic things that any one of us can do is to put off living.  Too many people are dreaming of some magical rose garden on the horizon rather than enjoying the one growing in our back yards.  What a tragedy.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

          “Have the discipline to focus your time around your priorities.  The most meaningful things in your life should never be sacrificed to those that are the least meaningful.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

            “Busy, productive people are highly efficient with their time – they must be in order to survive.  Being an excellent time manager doesn’t mean that you must become a workaholic.  On the contrary, time mastery allows you more time to do the things you love to do, the things that are truly meaningful to you.  Time mastery leads to life mastery.  Guard time well.  Remember, it’s a non-renewable resource.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

              “Small victories lead to large victories.  You must build on the small to achieve the great.  By following through on a resolution as simple as getting up earlier every day, you will feel the pleasure and gratification that achievement brings.  You have set a goal and you have realized it.  This feels good.  The trick is to keep setting the mark higher and raising your standards continuously.  This will then release that magical quality of momentum that will motivate you to keep exploring your infinite potential.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                “Most people I have spoken to have no idea that they have the power to control every single thought they think every second of every minute of every day.  They believe that thoughts just happen and have never realized that if you don’t take the time to start controlling your thoughts, they will control you.  When you start to focus on good thoughts only, and refuse to think the bad ones through sheer will-power, I promise you they will shrivel up very quickly.”

                Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                  “Truly enlightened people never seek to be like others.  Rather, they seek to be superior to their former selves.  Don’t race against others.  Race against yourself.”

                  Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                    “Failure is not having the courage to try, nothing more and nothing less.  The only thing standing between most people and their dreams is the fear of failure.  Yet failure is essential to success in any endeavor.  Failure tests us and allows us to grow.  It offers us lessons and guides us along the path of enlightenment.  The teachers of the East say that every arrow that hits the bull’s eye is the result of one hundred misses.  It is a fundamental Law of Nature to profit through loss.  Never fear failure.  Failure is your friend.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                      “Every being on this Earth, every object on this Earth has a soul.  All souls flow into one, this is the Soul of the Universe.  You see, when you nourish your own mind and your own spirit, you are really feeding the Soul of the Universe.  When you improve yourself, you are improving the lives of all those around you.  And when you have the courage to advance confidently in the direction of your dreams, you begin to draw upon the power of the universe.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                        “Within you lies the sun, the moon, the sky and all the wonders of this universe.  The intelligence that created these wonders is the same force that created you.  All things around you come from the same source.  We are all one.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                          “You are what you think about all day long.  You are also what you say to yourself all day long.  If you say that you are old and tired, this mantra will be manifested in your external reality.  If you say you are weak and lack enthusiasm, this too will be the nature of your world.  But if you say that you are healthy, dynamic and fully alive, your life will be transformed.  You see, the words you say to yourself affect your self-image and your self-image determines what actions you take.  Your self-image is a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
