In December 2025, many of us will take part in the 30-Day Rewind Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, we’ll rewind, review, reflect or—in my case—re-blog one of my nearly 4,000 posts that highlight experiences shaping us into better versions of ourselves. If you don’t have a blog, your reflections can come from a journal or even a meaningful memory tied to something learned, a goal reached, or a personal effort to improve. These daily habits of looking back will serve as a powerful springboard for taking on a new and ambitious challenge in 2026. Today my rewind is on a story about DIAMONDS.
When you practice contentment, it’s remarkable to discover the riches you already possess. This lesson was reinforced for me through the book Acres of Diamonds, which I profiled in a February 21, 2019 post. Written by Russell Conwell, it tells the story of Ali Hafed, a wealthy Persian.
Rewind-30 Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing a rewind, review, or reflection during the month of December
- Rewind, review, or reflect on a past effort to improve, a lesson you learned, or a goal you accomplished.
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
December 12th-Diamonds
In the story I learned about Ali Hafed, who owned a very large farm. His property had orchards, grain fields, and gardens. He was a wealthy and a content man. One day Ali entertained a guest who told him all about diamonds and how wealthy he would be if he owned a diamond mine. Ali Hafed went to bed that night a poor man—poor because he was discontented. He set out the next day to discover diamonds.
Will let your read the post or the book to find out how the story ends with the discovery of the Golconda Diamond Mine.
