Hello People,
Apart from the interesting, though provoking blogs that I have written in past, here is my first book review of "Discover your Destiny" by Robin Sharma.
The book is written in script form and is a story about 2 characters : Julian (The Mentor) & Dar (the Student/Seeker). Julian is the same monk who sold his Ferrari & went to the Himalayas in search of ‘Nirvana’ while Dar is a successful businessman but has troubled personal life. Dar journey of self-awakening starts when he tries to take his life.
Dar has caring colleagues who insist him to meet Julian and his journey to self-awakening starts. The book talks about the 7 (practical) stages of self-awakening as under and insists on practicing each stage many times till we reach the level of mastery:
This book talks about getting the best from your life but not what one wants but what one deserves and in best interest. The destiny discovers you provided you have done the preparation and inner work required to seize the opportunity when it presents itself.
I recommend this book to people who wish to clear their minds of confusion, emotions & submission. This book will help understand the fine balance between haves, needs & wants and believe that life is to be lived, enjoyed & experienced both material and spiritual.
Up next will be review on ‘Junglezen Sheru’, followed by ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’
Would appreciate your feedback / addition to this.

- Living a lie (The Stage of self-betrayal)
- “Most people don’t discover how to live until it’s time to die – and that’s a shame”
- The Choicepoint (The stage of releasing control & breaking your chains)
- After you have realized the lies of your life, it will present you 2 choices / lures – continue to awaken or go back to misery
- Awareness precedes choice and choice precedes change
- Awareness of wonder & possibility (The Stage of seeing with new eyes)
- Ready to play with possibilities
- Instructions from Masters (The stage of learning, failing & preparation)
- Fill The Integrity Gap – The gap between who we truly are & the public personas that we present to please the world
- Transformation & Rebirth (The stage of emptying & refilling)
- Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage
- The Trial (The Stage of testing & confirmation)
- Life poses challenges before one discovers the treasure of life
- The great awakening of self (The stage of fearlessness)
- You will be alone in the journey of awakening and you should be fearless
