Question to add: Am I willing to reject advice I asked from those I trust and admire, because it doesn't resonate with me?

Please fix the typo in the middle of #2 to read: “I really think and feel.” Thanks. I'm really glad you recommended naps because they have been a guilty pleasure for way too long and I don't need more guilt. I realized reading this I don't very often have a “beginner's mind” because I've studied so much of these kinds of things for 44 years and think I know everything I need to until — miraculously — finding something even better (and never quit at least scanning for unknown treasure in such as this blog, hearing about it from a new like-minded friend). An area I have issues with which you don't mention is procrastination. The rest of your test all feels fine.

Am I will to look at my failures and opportunities for growth? Am I willing to stop the self-deprecation over my failures and instead assess where I want went wrong? Am I willing to be gentle with myself in honoring my emotions and feelings over my failure while at the same time being firm with using that opportunity as a spring board to move forward? Am I willing to reassess my plans based on what I learned from the mistakes and move forward with new, revised and revamped courses of action?

Sorry if these overlap other posts.

Wow Sarah.

After I read this, I had to go back and read through all of your posts since your return from the wilds. And I have a question: If you weren't married… and I wasn't married… and I was richer and smarter and taller and better looking… would you marry me? #IthinkIloveyou #DontTellMyWife

XOJA

These are mine:

Am I willing to have the hard conversations with people close to me even when it's really, really, really hard?
Am I willing to ask the hard questions of myself and others?
Am I willing to do what's right even when it's not what's easy?
Am I willing to give up short term gratitude for long term reward?

xo,
Alexis
