Any resolution or determination that you make can be realized in the future. You can experiment with this idea by resolving to quit a bad habit for ten days. Every conscious moment during those ten days reinforces your resolve. On the tenth day, investigate this situation from all angles and note what has occurred. You can use your discovery as a steppingstone to meditation and a path to the best possible aspiration.
