Alhamdulillah, I was able to wake up early today, so I was able to pray tahajud and read the Qur'an. I hope I can do it every day. After that I wrote a daily journal in English. This feels good. I want to write more every day. I think learning English is fun and challenging. Learning a language is always fun. I want to open a writing and English course for elementary school children. I hope it can be realized.

The changes made on a given day may seem small, but the impact months and years later can be devastating.  When we look back, two, five or perhaps 10 years later, the value of good habits and the cost of bad habits becomes very apparent.

If you can be 1% better everyday of the year, you'll be 37 Times better off by the end of the year.  Conversely, if you are 1%worse everyday of the year, you Will decline almost to zero. 

I don't know if I changed for the better or not, but I definitely changed in many ways. The first is appearance. I look fat now. I've gained 10 kg over the past 5 years. Secondly, health, I take medicine every day and I can hear bad-sounding voices that bother me quite a bit. Third, I now like to read instead of playing on my cell phone. Fourth, I have a psychiatrist to consult for the problems I face every day. Fifth, my relationship with my father has gotten better. I became more open with my father.

The best way to start a new habit: Being specific about what you want and how you're going to achieve it helps you resist things that undermine progress, distract you, and throw you off track.  We often say yes to small requests because we're not clear enough about what we need to do to reject them. When your goals are vague, it's easy to rationalize small exceptions throughout the day and never deal with the specifics of what needs to be done to succeed. Give your habits time and space to live in this world. Your goal is to set such a clear time and location that, with enough repetition, you get the urge to do the right thing at the right time, even when you don't know why.  Example: Meditation. I will meditate for one minute at 7 am in the kitchen. Wake up early. I will wake up at 3:30 am to shower, pray tahajud and read the Qur'an.  Read a book. I will read the atomic habits book at 5:00 am to 5:30 am. Exercise. I will take a morning walk at 5:30 am with my fathe...
