User blog:Gameuser10/Vows for Christmas

So I read this book, The Greatest Salesman in the World Part II – The End of the Story by Og Mandino, and these were some pretty good vows to make. I wanted to share 'em with you, one vow for every day 'till Christmas. My gift (sorta) to you,. I apologize if this seems a bit religious, because well... it is.

Ten Vows of Success

Vow 1
Never Again Will I Pity or Belittle Myself
 * The most harmful enemy I have … is me. How foolish I was when I stood in despair and envied the successful and the wealthy. Are they blessed with unique skills, rare intelligence, heroic courage, enduring ambition, and other outstanding qualities that I possess not? No. God plays no favorites. We were all fashioned from the same clay.
 * I have finally recognized a powerful secret hidden in the years that treated me so harshly. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every fresh experience points out some error which we shall afterward carefully avoid.
 * No longer will I look mournfully to the past. It will never return. Instead, I will shape the present because it is mine and I will go forth to meet the mysterious future without fear, without doubt, without despair. I was formed in the image of God. With God’s help, there is nothing I cannot achieve if I try.
