Best Decision

As I’m reverse-engineering 2010, I realize that the best decision was inspired by Lora. Her dad used to read the Bible with her before school and we decided to implement that ritual this year. It’s the most important 10 minutes of the day. I think that little morning ritual will pay huge dividends. It’s such a little thing, but it’s a big thing.

I’m reminded, once again, that it’s the little habits that make us who we are. You don’t have to make massive changes quickly. You need to make little changes and then stick with it for a long time! Habits are like compound interest when it comes to character.
