Hi, it's Robin Sharma. Welcome to the Mastery Sessions.

Hi, it's Robin Sharma, author of the 5 a.m. club, and welcome to this Mastery Session.

This Mastery Session has a strange title called The Bald Man in the Big Mercedes.

So the starting point in our journey together in this episode is something I've never shared before but I call it Ram syndrome

Ram syndrome Ram is an acronym.

W-R-A-M that speaks to the world revolves around me syndrome, Ram syndrome.

And what my encouragement is is never let that syndrome. It's almost bordering on a disease, get anywhere near your tight

bubble of total focus and anywhere near your performance and don't let Ran Syndrome infect anything or any element of your life.

So what is Ram Syndrome?

Well like I said it's the world revolves around me syndrome.

We live in a world where a lot of good souls have fallen into this syndrome and they've forgotten who they truly are.

And so it often happens because of the way people have been raised.

Their mommies and daddy's raised them them saying the world revolves around you Johnny

you're the most important person in the world Sally you can do no wrong Ravi you are a superhero whatever the name is and what starts to happen to these kids is they actually do believe the world revolves around them

because their parents are telling them and constantly stroking them on the

perceived reality that they are magical beings, they have all these

superpowers, they can do no wrong, if there's a little boo-boo they come rushing

to their rescue.

If they don't do well in a tennis match,

well, you know, you still need a trophy.

And what I believe is happening is that is producing

these adults who suffer from Ram syndrome.
