my personal commandments

In preparation for starting my Happiness Project, I came up with my own Personal Commandments.  Gretchen came up with her own when she pulled out the overarching principles of her resolutions.  I borrowed some of hers but mostly added my own
.
My Personal Commandments
1. Be Meghan.
2. Give grace.
3. Identify the problem.
4. Stop caring about what other people think.
5. Fail small, not big.
6. React accordingly to the size of the problem.
7. Let it go.
8. Savor your season.
9. Act the way I want to feel.
10. Always start with a list.
11. God is always bigger.
12. Remember Whose you are.

Now that I had come up with these, it was time to nail down the areas that I wanted to focus on.  I had already come up with nine, but were there any more?  And what resolutions did I want to come up with to help me in these areas?

"It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible." - Samuel Johnson

I needed to break down these larger focus areas into smaller, more manageable resolutions if I was ever going to succeed at my project.
