I don't make New year's resolutions. I don't believe in committing to change only once a year.
Change should be, and most effectively is, a perennial process of willing acceptance of challenges that prod us toward growth. Change, infrequently, is easy and fun, but the rewards? Oh the rewards can be delightful and intoxicating!
The biggest and most powerful change for me of 2009 was listening to, actually growing still and focusing on his words, my significant other as he talked to me about how I managed the bills.
I had believed for months that I was mismanaging everything, but he continued to reassure me that I was handling our finances with great finesse. Problem was, I didn't believe him. Not one iota.
The fifth time he said it, I decided to listen and at least consider that he was right. What would it feel like, I wondered, to absorb his words and believe them?
For the answer, post to the discussion and ask a question of your own!
