Go home. Be happy that you have learnt how much you love your family and friends. Be glad that you are a man with an open heart who can love. Don’t worry about whatever it was you failed to achieve. It probably was not right for you at that time any way. Set yourself new challenges. If you want to stay where you are, make the effort to reach out to good, kind people there. You can make new friends, though don’t expect it to be easy. But really, why waste time being miserable when there is so much to enjoy in the world. Don’t cry, just draw up a plan of action. If it doesn’t work out, draw up another. In the end, things will work out the way you want them to.

I am away in a foreign country away from my family and friends that I am used ot being around. I’ve always been a person to have people around me. Now that I am away it is getting difficult for me to cope with. Something happened where I wasn’t selected for something that I worked very hard for and in actuality did all the things that was expected of me and then some. And now I have to deal with the fact that I am in different country and it hurts very bad, I cant stop crying at night but I know I hav to stay to support my family and grow up as a man, any advice?

I have been through the worst and am out of it now. When I look back, I find I did most of the suggested positive things to come out of the rut, long before I read Robin Sharma. These are instictive to man, but seem to have regressed somehow. I like to think Robin and Nirav are helping us to bring these important instincts to the fore. What I am saying is one should look within to find the strengths that will help overcome any adverse situation.
Warm regards

Hi nirav,
The book showcases a new perspective to get closer to oneself and innate dreams. We all dream but its only the determined and focussed who acquire. Its how well we control our mind and discipline ourselves that finally paves a satisfying and peaceful zeal of LIFE in us.
Another suggest is ‘The Artist’s Way’ by Julia Cameron. When we are in the path of spiritual transformation towards adding a meaning to our existence, there comes just more ways and no hurdles as such.The choice is entirely ours..Isn’t it?

Regards,
Sreelatha

Thanks for compiling these here Nirav. Your site definitely acts as a source of inspiration during hard times. Keep up the good work. I have put Robin Sharma’s excerpts on my blog at http://www.khushi.wordpress.com and linked to your page from there.

hi pratham and all those with physical disabilities,
i know it is really difficult to come to terms with physical disabilities especillay when they are not your fault, say congenital disorders. “perseverence can change most things, even nature”, said the greatest business man of all time mr john d rockefeller. having said le me take your attention to the fact that rockfeller is an immensely realistic man, who did ackoledge the fact perseverence can only change most things, there are things beyond our control.
well you can’t except a lame man to compete asfa powell, also a lame man shouldn’t even aim to do that. the lame surely must be having some other faculties and it is upto him to exploit them. it is follishnes and a waste of resouces on the part of a crippled person to attempt to beat the sprint king.u must concentrate on your strengths and allign your aims accordingly.
as mr dhirubhai ambani said”dream, with your eyes open”
