The Ninth Vow of Success
- Self-Reflection is Key: Daily review of actions, thoughts, and words essential for future improvement.
- Honest Assessment: Critically examine mistakes and successes each day with courage and honesty.
- Market of Life: The world is a market with different commodities (riches, ease, fame, integrity). Make conscious purchases with time, labor, and ingenuity.
- Value & Permanence: Prioritize lasting values over fleeting gains.
- Daily Exercise: A nightly ritual of reviewing the day's actions to shape future outcomes.
- Accountability & Improvement: Identifying and addressing vices/bad habits will lead to better sleep.
- Questioning Self (Daily): Reflect on what virtues were acquired and what temptations resisted. What infirmity was mastered? What challenges were overcome?
- Planning & Progress: Use hindsight to plan better every day, creating a diary (today) and a textbook (for tomorrow).
- Forgiving Self (Errors): Review every detail of the day and don't shy from acknowledging mistakes. Discuss potential better actions/alternatives.
- Learning from Experience: Don't view experience as just hardship; learn lessons from mistakes or struggles for future guidance.
- Self-Improvement: Compare self to a relentless enemy to identify shortcomings and use these as stepping stones for growth.
- Completion & Satisfaction: Doing the best possible job on all tasks brings pride and satisfaction.
- Continuous Improvement: Acknowledge the need for daily improvement and wisdom. Yesterday's work should be surpassed tomorrow.
- Daily Checklist: Include items for consideration like self-compassion, daily goals, positive interactions, taking action, finding good in problems, and resisting negativity.
- Ending the Day: No longer end the day when the sun sets. Embrace a further act of reflection before sleep.
