“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.”

By OG Mandino in The greatest Salesman in the world

Are you feeling Smart Habit overload yet? I am! I don't know how many habits I've worked on since January 1st but it is a lot. There are some habits that I don't think I will ever attain, like going to bed early, but most of my other habits have pretty much become a part of me. At this point I'm wondering how much more change I can stand in my life! I know I have a lot more room for improvement in so many areas but all this changing hurts! It's difficult and exhausting to always think about changing and becoming a better person. But I know I, for one, will never give up. Call me unsatisfied, but I am never happy where I'm at. I always want more! In case you were wondering, yes, that is what my husband loves so much about me. Right sweetie?

My habit this week is going to be reading my scriptures every day. I think I've worked on it here already this year but I need more help with it. I would like to work up to thirty minutes a day but for now I'm going to study for ten minutes a day. Instead of just reading, like I've always done, I am really going to study. I think I'll pick a topic every week and look up scriptures on that topic. Then I'll write any insights or inspiration I receive. How's that for a plan? Now I will go and do!
