Resolution
Our habits don’t arise from any struggle. Did we have to fight to get into our bad habits? They arose from picturing, from feeling, from entertaining a notion. What would happen if you “imagined” you were happy? A resolution based in imagination instead of the thinking is much more fun. A good resolution is to imagine well.
“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.” Abraham Lincoln (American 16th US President (1861-65), who brought about the emancipation of the slaves. 1809-1865)
“How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them” Benjamin Franklin (American Statesman, Scientist, Philosopher, Printer, Writer and Inventor. 1706-1790)
