Becoming

In the last General Conference Elder Scott said, "We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day."

I've been thinking a lot about that quote lately. It's gotten me out of bed in the wee hours of the morning so I can exercise at the gym. It's also helped me be a little cleaner around the apartment and more thoughtful of my roommates.

Because he's right, if I'm not being those things now, I will most likely never become those things later. But I have to admit all this "becoming" business is quite exhausting.
