The Challenge!

Like I mentioned before this "challenge" really isn't going to be challenging. It's only going to take a bit of time out of your day. All you have to do is read a simple, short thing called a scroll. Here it is in the words of the Author, Og Mandino:

I will read each scroll for thirty days in this prescribed manner, before I proceed to the next scroll. First, I will read the words in silence when I arise. Then I will read the words in silence after I partake in my midday meal. Last, I will read the words again just as I retire at the day’s end, and most important, on this occasion I will read the words aloud. On the next day I will repeat this procedure, and I will continue in a like manner for thirty days. Then I will turn, to the next scroll and repeat this procedure for another thirty days. I will continue in this manner until I have lived with each scroll for 30 days and my reading has become a habit.

 This only lasts for 10 months. One scroll for 30 days and there are ten scrolls. The first one is the longest so it gets easier from that point on. To help you out, I even made a fun way to do this. I made Scroll Cards.

Okay, the font is really tiny. The first scroll is 4pt font and the rest are 5. If you wish to download and use the bigger versions feel free. Here are the scrolls in PDF form:

Scroll 1
Scroll 2
Scroll 3
Scroll 4
Scroll 5
Scroll 6
Scroll 7
Scroll 8
Scroll 9
Scroll 10

I was trying to find the interview with Matthew McConaughey, where he describes his transformation by taking this challenge. He was studying to be a Lawyer in Texas when he read, "The Greatest Salesman in the World" (from which the scrolls are taken), and realized his love for acting was stronger than being a lawyer.

Each 30 days we'll all move on to the next scroll. I'm starting on May 1st. I would love for you to join me. We even have a facebook group and event. Join us and reach your dreams!
