Today's journaling topic...

How do you define success?

And how do you define failure?

🔥 Now grab your journal and try to work through a little self discovery on how you may answer those questions.

🔥 I'll provide some context below from the words of one of my hero's, Og Mandino. And I hope his perspective helps to stir something in you for today's journal entry.

Additional thoughts on what you are about to read from Og Mandino:

At this point in my life my "BIG WHY" very much revolves around things such as peace, contentment, joy and gratitude. And so with those in mind the following words from Og Mandino resonate LOUD in my soul.

From Og Mandino's point of view we all define success differently, but for the most part we all agree how failure is defined.

The following is copy of the quote from Og Mandino dealing with this topic, and I'll follow that with a copy of Mandino's complete list of 10 Scrolls or principles that he mentions within these words.

🔥 The following is quoted from The Scroll Marked One 🔥

Only principles endure and these I now possess, for the laws that will lead me to the greatness are contained in the words of these scrolls (see below). What they will teach me is more to prevent failure than to gain success, for what is success other than a state of mind? Which two, among a thousand wise men, will define success in the same words; yet failure is always described but one way. Failure is man’s inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be.

In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is - I will form good habits and become their slave.

As a child I was slave to my imputes; now I am slave to my habits, as are all grown men.

🔥 The following is a complete list of the 10 Scrolls 🔥

Scroll I - I will Form Good Habits and Become their Slave

Scroll II - Greet Each Day With Love In Your Heart

Scroll III - I Will Persist Until I Succeed

Scroll IV - I am Nature's Greatest Miracle

Scroll V - Live Each Day as if it Were Your Last

Scroll VI - Master Your Emotions - Self Control

Scroll VII - The Power of Laughter

Scroll VIII - Multiply Your Value Every Day

Scroll IX - All is Worthless Without Action

Scroll X - Pray to God for Guidance
