Refined By Resolve: The Commitments I Made To Myself

Refined by Resolve is a deeply honest and empowering reflection on the promises we make to ourselves after life breaks us open. Dr. Morris turns inward, away from external validation and into the quiet, personal codes forged in hardship.

This book is not about external success or polished performance. It’s about the private boundaries we draw, the self-honoring standards we protect, and the internal vows we make once we know better.

With wisdom rooted in lived experience, Dr. Morris explores how adversity clarifies our values, sharpens our instincts, and teaches us what we can no longer ignore. Through thoughtful chapters, guided reflection, and powerful declarations, readers are invited to consider:

• What do I now refuse to tolerate in others and in myself?
• What must I honor, even if no one else sees it?
• What personal standards did pain help me build?

Refined by Resolve is for anyone who’s done negotiating their worth and is ready to live aligned with what they know to be true.
