Emerson instructed us to "Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your reading have been to you like the blast of truimpth out of Shakespeare, Seneca, Moses, John and Paul."
Following Emerson's guidance, I offer some of my favorite blasts of triumph. These quotes I draw from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and other wisdom by Robin Sharma.
From tonight onwards, take complete control of your life. Decide, once and for all, to be the master of your fate. Run your own race. Discover your calling and you will start to experience the ecstasy of an inspired life.

Six hundred and seventy-two hours of inner work to profoundly improve every waking moment of the rest of your life is quite a bargain, don’t you think? Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make. It will not only improve your life, it will improve the lives of all those around you.
~ Robin Sharma Quotes from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
All I’m saying is that to liberate the potential of your mind, body and soul, you must first expand your imagination. You see, things are always created twice: first in the workshop of the mind and then, and only then, in reality. I call this process ‘blueprinting’ because anything you create in your outer world began as a simple blueprint in your inner world.
~ Robin Sharma Quotes from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
Alright, the secret of happiness is simple: find out what you truly love to do and then direct all of your energy towards doing it.
~ Robin Sharma Quotes from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
You will wake up every morning with a limitless reservoir of energy and enthusiasm. All your thoughts will be focused on your definite objective.. You won’t have time to waste time. Valuable mental power will, therefore, not be wasted on trifling thoughts. You will automatically erase the worry habit and become far more effective and productive. Interestingly, you will also have a deep sense of inner harmony, as if you are somehow being guided to realize your mission. It is a wonderful feeling.
~ Robin Sharma Quotes from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
“Do you know why most people sleep so much?” “Why?” “Because they really don’t have anything else to do. Those who rise with the sun all have one thing in common.” “Insanity?” “Very funny. No, they all have a purpose that fans the flames of their inner potential.”
~ Robin Sharma Quotes from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
Weak minds lead to weak actions. A strong, disciplined mind, which anyone can cultivate though daily practice, can achieve miracles. If you want to live life to the fullest, care for your thoughts as you would your most prized possessions. Work hard to remove all inner turbulence. The rewards will be abundant.
~ Robin Sharma Quotes from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
In Sanskrit, ‘man’ means ‘mind’ and ‘tra’ means ‘freeing.’ So a mantra is a phrase which is designed to free the mind... [mantras] are my faithful companions wherever I go. Whether I am on the bus, walking to the library or watching the world go by in a park, I am constantly affirming al that is good in my world through mantras.
~ Robin Sharma Quotes from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
Written affirmations are also very effective. But I have found that repeating a mantra aloud has a wonderful effect on my spirit. When I need to feel motivated, I might repeat, ‘I am inspired, disciplined and energized’ out loud two or three hundred times. To maintain the supreme sense of self-confidence I have cultivated, I repeat, ‘I am strong, able and calm.’ I even use mantras to keep me youthful and vital.
~ Robin Sharma Quotes from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
Every single person on the planet is a genius.
~ Robin Sharma Quotes from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
We all have something that we are meant to do. Your genius will shine through, and happiness will fill your life, the instant you discover your higher purpose and then direct all your energies towards it.
~ Robin Sharma Quotes from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
Push yourself to do more and to experience more. Harness your energy to start expanding your dreams. Yes, expand your dreams. Don’t accept a life of mediocrity when you hold such infinite potential within the fortress of your mind. Dare to tap into your greatness. It’s your birthright.
~ Robin Sharma Quotes from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
“You will see your life for what it really is: a small blip on the canvas of eternity. And you will come to see clearly who you are and the ultimate purpose of your life.” “Which is?” “To serve, of course.”
