being better.

Friends. It looks like I am caught in a terrible cycle. 

I am up and down on my recording of life - and I keep saying that I'm going to be better. I am really good for a few days, weeks, even months, and then I go for a while without doing a thing. 

I guess that's a pretty good sum of my life. Unfortunately. Do you ever find yourself in that vicious cycle? Blogging. Exercising. Eating healthy. Praying. Reading scriptures. Any other habits that are just hard to be consistent with? That's definitely me. But who's to say you can't pick up right where you left off? 

I once heard a talk by Elder Aidukaitis (a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). To paraphrase: "If you skipped brushing your teeth one morning, would you just give up and never brush your teeth ever again? No! You would do better and remember to brush your teeth the next day!" So, why would we stop doing good things, just because we forget to do them consistently?

Now is the perfect time to keep working harder and trying to do better! After all, isn't that what life is all about?!
