I was on the phone with a client when she mentioned that she uses a personal constitution to guide her life. She wrote the document 25 years ago. It has never seen an amendment. She's is not very happy either. By definition, a constitution never changes. Your most important beliefs and core values should change easily. Yet, you grow wiser, you should be willing to consider amending and updating how you feel about the world. Your core values alter with your daily life experiences like it or not. Taking control of the process will lead to a more harmonious life experience. The next time you feel like an old dog reluctant to learn a new trick, consider what thoughts are guiding you. Are they still useful in your life?
