Cavett Robert said
"Character is the ability to carry out a good resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed."
Start: Walk into the BYU bookstore. Take the staircase leading to the basement floor where the school supplies are.
See "Planners" on a sign down aisle 2 and turn into the aisle.
Perfect.
Three days later, Latin class, head resting on folded arms while the rest of the class goes over the translations suppose to do for homework.
Go back four days. Have already failed two tests. Academic standing for next lacrosse season looking bleak. Got to do something. Repeat first step.
Your resolutions are only as good as your word to yourself. If you can't be true to yourself, you will never be true to your commitments. Your dreams will vanish along with your self-respect, and your life will be a canvas with ugly strokes and bleak colors.
Don't repeat the first step. Make perfect the last step before the rest of your happy life, not the rest of your cyclical debased life.
