MKMMA Blog 2019-20 Week 1

Overwhelmed? Yes, a tad. And I ask myself why. Perhaps the answer lies in Scroll 1.

‘Today I begin a new life.’

‘Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity.’

‘Failure is man’s inability to reach his goals on life, whatever they may be.’

‘My bad habits must be destroyed and new furrows prepared for good seed.’

‘I must discipline myself with the firsty of my new habits as follows: I read each scroll for thirty days in in this prescribed manner, before I proceed to the next scroll.’

And so it continues.

I have allowed myself to fall back into bad habits, particularly watching television shows which take my attention away from my desires, and not reading as many good books as I had previously read down through the years. That habit (reading) came easily, as I began reading at a very early age. Books fascinated me. And once I began High School at age 11, I would listen to the great Earl Nightingale on the radio whilst eating my breakfast, and he inspired me to read some wonderful books on personal growth once I was in my late teens. That led me to Og Mandino, and the dye was cast.

So, what happened? I became slothful and lazy after some business disappointments, which sucked my confidence, and made me gun-shy. That’s why I came back to re-do the MKMMA this season.

I wish you enough.
