Drop the Rock–the Ripple Effect – Quote 10

Over time, this daily practice can evolve into one that we do several times each day. Eventually we do it in the very moment when we catch ourselves acting out of one of our shortcomings or character defects. As we keep working Step Ten, we learn to catch ourselves even sooner—whenever we have the impulse to act from one of our character flaws. With practice, we then learn to be aware of the rising of an emotion that generates or precedes such an impulse.
