For a few weeks now I've been memorizing the Book of Mormon verbatim. I wanted to build up a very healthy habit that simultaneously brought me closer to God as well as proved to myself that I could memorize things.
I've always considered myself as someone who can't memorize things well. But after reading both Ultralearning (Ultralearning) and Atomic Habits (Atomic Habits), I felt like this could be a self-perpetuating identity problem.
As I've been working through the first few chapters of 1 Nephi, having much greater success than I thought possible, I'm also finding that I have had additional blessings come from it. I'm inclined to believe that the promises in my Patriarchal Blessing about reading, studying, pondering and learning to live by them (My Patriarchal Blessing) are coming true.
I'm excited to see what other habits I can build that will align me closer to other parts of my Patriarchal Blessing.
