“Bring thyself to account each day”
Baha’u’llah, The Hidden Words

“Let each morn be better than its eve and each morrow richer than its yesterday”
Baha’u’llah, Tablet of Wisdom

We are exhorted to a systematic endeavor to improve ourselves, to grow spiritually, through a process of daily action and reflection. In fact, “to stop advancing is the means of going back”, so if we don’t make a conscious effort for each day to be better than the day before, it will actually be worse! The question is, how do we measure if today was better than yesterday?
