Drop the Rock–the Ripple Effect – Quote 54

1.  Noticing any harm we create as soon as we create it—and making amends as soon as possible. 2.  Recognizing unsustainable thoughts, emotions, and impulses when they first appear. 3.  Noticing ever smaller and more subtle manifestations of those emotions, thoughts, and impulses. 4.  Intuiting the probable outcome of embracing or following each one. 5.  Restraining ourselves from doing harm to ourselves and others. 6.  Asking our Higher Power to remove whatever shortcomings and character defects we observe—and to give us guidance for what to do next. 7.  Acting out of the best parts of ourselves—with the guidance of our spiritual direction—instead of from our self-direction.
