To surpass oneself is the true victory
Value is not simply inherited, it is multiplied. Through vision, through courage, through relentless upward motion. The past was not your peak; it was your platform.
Quote:
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.
Proverbs 4:18
Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
And how will I accomplish this? First I will set goals for the day, the week, the month, the year, and my life. Just as the rain must fall before the wheat will crack its shell and sprout, so must I have objectives before my life will crystallize.
In setting my goals I will consider my best performance of the past and multiply it a hundredfold. This will be the standard by which I will live in the future. Never will I be of concern that my goals are too high for is it notbetter to aim my spear at the moon and strike only an eagle than to aim my spear at the eagle and strike only a rock?
Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
The height of my goals will not hold me in awe though I may stumble often before they are reached. If I stumble I will rise and my falls will not concern me for all men must stumble often to reach the hearth. Only a worm is free from the worry of stumbling. I am not a worm. I am not an onion plant. I am not a sheep.
I am a man. Let others build a cave with their clay. I will build a castle with mine.
Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
And just as the sun must warm the earth to bring forth the seedling of wheat so, too, will the words on these scrolls warm my life and turn my dreams into reality.
🚀 Today I will surpass every action which I performed yesterday. I will climb today's mountain to the utmost of my ability, yet tomorrow I will climb higher than today, and the next will be higher than tomorrow. To surpass the deeds of others is unimportant; to surpass my own deeds is all.This series features select excerpts from The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino—a timeless source of inspiration. As we close the first half of the year and prepare for the next, I believe its wisdom offers clarity, encouragement, and momentum for the journey ahead.
