A Book You Should Read: "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.

"Atomic Habits" is a great book that teaches you how to build good habits and break bad ones. It's an easy read that's full of practical advice that you can start applying right away. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.

A Podcast You Should Listen To: "Just a Good Conversation: Wyman Meinzer"

Wyman Meinzer is the only official State Photographer of Texas, named so in 1997 by the Texas State Legislature and then Gov. George W. Bush, an honor he still holds today. He was raised on the League Ranch, a 27,000-acre ranch in the rolling plains of Texas. Since then, he has traveled to every corner of this great state and all points in between in search of the first and last rays of sunlight in its magnificent sweep across the Texas landscape.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
