In this instance, logical thinking must be implemented in order to understand that aspects of dysfunction are infiltrating now, and have in past. Well, you might think one person’s trash could be considered another’s treasure, so how would a certain aspect of one’s life be blanketed as dysfunctional?

Logic!

If a person enables dysfunctional behavior, then people they enable will eventually catch on to this and know that you will always permit it, so cycle continues.

Using your God-given logic will always assist you in diagnosing a scenario that is littered with dysfunction, or one that has potential to bring it into your life.

If you are a person who thinks more with their heart than their head, this needs to change immediately! Many of times we are hurt by thinking with our heart, and in turn consequences can be quite costly.

Taking control of how much negative comes into your life is basis for this article. I want reader to understand that they do have power to not only make changes, however painful they might be, but dam up flow that a river of illogic and dysfunction causes.

By recognizing dysfunction, you limit its growth at its root and logically understand its negative characteristics. This gives you more than enough ammunition to stave off its constant barrage. So start to control damage dysfunction brings today rather than settling for a more inferior quality of life.

Now take a few moments to reflect on bigger picture vision you have for your life. What would you like to accomplish first? What will bring you joy and fulfillment with your work, your family, and your personal time? What is essence of what you wish to experience in this upcoming year? When you have an idea of what it is you wish to create and who you want to "be," take some time to meditate or concentrate on developing your life theme. The right phrase for you may come to you immediately, or it may take some time to evolve.

Brief is Best

When phrase does reveal itself to you, try to keep it to a maximum of five words. Brief is better. Feel power of these concise life themes: "Let go. Rebuild. Move Forward. Growth and Independence. Balance and Follow-through. Connection. Stretch. Calm and Quiet." You might have to live with your life theme for a week before you know that it's one that will speak to you for next year. You will know when you've got it.

Get Started

Once your life theme is clear, write it down. Put it where you will see it every day as a reminder of where you are heading in 2005. Tell loved ones, friends and colleagues what your life theme is. The more often you say it and share more real it will become. Every time you make a decision large and small put it through your life theme filter. If your theme is "connection" say yes to building friendships, social invitations and neighborhood parties. If your theme is "adventure and fun" perhaps you say no that new pair of shoes and yes to signing up for a rock climbing course. The most surefire method to ensuring you live your life theme is to ask yourself every morning when you wake "what can I do today to experience my life theme." The key to success is to be intentional with your thoughts and actions on a daily basis. By living intentionally and with purpose you'll never feel need to make another New Year's resolution again.
