Here we go! Hi! My name is Crystal Ann Magaña and I am a lifetime member. This is my third time going through the course. Jumping back into the content after all these years has been enjoyable.

Last time I did the course was back in 2019.

A lot has happened since 2019 to say the least. I am a different person. But in a lot of ways I am still the same. I have a lot of bad habits! I would like to change my thinking and I feel like this work will help me stay disciplined and focused. I know I can be a confident, successful person.

I just have to shave off more cement. In the past I would get halfway through the course then I would give up on myself. The readings felt laborious and like a chore to do. I didn’t catch OG Mandino’s vibe the first time around and I didn’t fully trust the process. This year I am going all in.

This first week I focused on these words:

Thus, a new and good habit is born; for when an act becomes easy through constant repetition, it becomes a pleasure to perform; and if it is a pleasure to perform, it is man’s nature to perform it often. When I perform it often, it becomes a habit; and I become its slave; and since it is a good habit, this is my will.

Og Mandino, The Greatest Salesman

I hope to bring myself back to knowing a blissful state so that I can pursue my dreams and relationships confidently. I will give it my all!
