This is a story of the guy named Julien who was a very successful lawyer. He was famous, rich, and he fought cases only to defend some really wealthy people. He had a big mansion, a private jet, and of course, a Ferrari. But even after achieving these huge things in his life, he was not satisfied. He wanted more fame, more money which led him to a point where he was working for almost 18 hours a day.
 As a result, he got divorced, and he felt some pain around his chest area and suddenly he fainted. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors declared that he’d just got a heart attack.
He took a very bold step. He started selling every materialistic things that he possessed. He sold his mansion, his private jet, and he even sold his Ferrari.
The first principle :-
If you think negative or if you don’t give your brain some regular exercise, it will turn into garbage dump which can only yield something poisonous. It’s rightly said, an empty mind is devil’s workshop.
The second principle :-
Choose the target and work on achieving it. You might have to face some difficulties while moving towards your goal. But if you’re consistently moving in the right direction, sooner or later you’re going to reach your destination.
The third principle :-
Kaizen is a Japanese word that means continuous learning and improvement. Sumo wrestler has to be very specific with his diet and discipline to achieve this huge physique. Similarly, we need to always keep learning.
Not only you learn things from books, but you always keep improving in every small thing that you do in your life. Moreover, books are a consolidation of everything that the authors have learned in their entire lifetime, and you can have all that knowledge in just a few hours. So take part in every activity which you think can help you improve in your life.
The fourth principle :-
You won’t see an instant impact, but in the long run, these small things can bring some big changes in your life and they will define who you are as an individual.
The fifth principle :-
No matter how rich or poor you are, you only have 24 hours in an entire day, not even a second more or less than anyone else. But the way we utilize these 24 hours is what makes us happy or sad, rich or poor.
Every successful person knows how to manage time. So they manage to do every single activity in the same 24 hours that each one of us has got.
The sixth principle :-
It doesn’t matter how much you earn or what heights you reach, the satisfaction of helping others is priceless. No wonder why some really rich people in today’s world do charity work, investing their hard-earned money in developing some rural village, and many more things.
 So if you want to have that priceless feeling of happiness and satisfaction, help others selflessly and you’ll find yourself happy most of the time.
The seventh principle :-
You never really enjoy the small happy moments that we have in the present. It can literally be anything, playing with your kids in a nearby park, or maybe spending some quality time with your partner.
 These present moments are supposed to be lived in present and these are the real diamonds in our life. If only you understand this now, you are really going to be good at relationships, and well, a real happy, contented person.
  These were the seven lessons that the monk taught Julien which completely changed his life. As promised, Julien spread out this knowledge to the outer world, and that is what we all should do to help our loved ones get all the happiness in life.
