Oh, and yes, I did grow from these, so much more than any other resolution. Looking back, my mind operates differently now, and my natural response to life’s challenges is completely different. Mission accomplished… but still in process.

Thank you so much. It was the most meaningful New Years resolution I had done… The questions were inspired by Debbie Ford, though I can’t recall which book it was that I was reading at the time. All of her stuff is great, though, especially the movie she produced The Shadow Effect (I think it should be required material before dating, marrying, child-rearing, etc)

There’s a lot of wisdom here. I really like the questions to ask in challenging circumstances. I’d love to hear how this played out by the end of 2010 and if you feel like you grew exponentially because of these ideas.

Your post is outstanding. We *can* change our dispositions and you’ve given us many excellent ways in which we, too, can begin to change ours.

“In moments of stress or weakness, all of our disciplines fall by the wayside and our true disposition is revealed.” Yes, very true… ”For 2010 my focus is on those things that will change my disposition (my natural inclination for action) in stead of just my discipline (the actions I force myself to take) or the outward results.” Wonderfully said. Thank you, Joseph, for this inspiring message.
